Streptomyces is an attractive host for heterologous protein secretion. To further optimize its expression capacity, better expression vectors will be helpful. Here, based on pSGL1, a high copy number plasmid present in Streptomyces globisporus C-1027, we constructed a series of novel E. coli-Streptomyces shuttle expression vectors pIMB2-4. These vectors, which are compatible with pIJ-derived vectors, contain the strong promoter ermE*p and signal sequence SP (MelC1) of the first ORF of melanin operon in S. antibiotics (pIMB2), SP (CagA) of C-1027 apoprotein in S. globisporus C-1027 (pIMB3 and pIMB4). Using these vectors, human interleukin-6 (IL-6) could successfully be expressed and secreted using S. lividans TK24 as host. Furthermore, replacement of a rare leucine codon TTA with CTG in SP (CagA) enhanced IL-6 production.
链霉菌是异源蛋白分泌的理想宿主。为了进一步优化其表达能力,更好的表达载体将是有帮助的。在这里,基于链霉菌Globisporus C-1027 中存在的高拷贝数质粒 pSGL1,我们构建了一系列新型大肠杆菌-链霉菌穿梭表达载体 pIMB2-4。这些载体与 pIJ 衍生载体兼容,包含强启动子 ermE*p 和黑色素操纵子第一个 ORF 的信号序列 SP(MelC1)(pIMB2),链霉菌 Globisporus C-1027 中 C-1027 脱辅基蛋白的 SP(CagA)(pIMB3 和 pIMB4)。使用这些载体,使用链霉菌 lividans TK24 作为宿主,成功表达和分泌了人白细胞介素-6(IL-6)。此外,在 SP(CagA)中替换稀有亮氨酸密码子 TTA 为 CTG 增强了 IL-6 的产生。
