The two chitinase genes, LbCHI31 and LbCHI32 from Limonium bicolor, were, respectively, expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 strain. The intracellular recombinant chitinases, inrCHI31 and inrCHI32, and the extracellular exrCHI31 and exrCHI32 could be produced into E. coli. The exrCHI31 and exrCHI32 can be secreted into extracellular medium. The optimal reaction condition for inrCHI31 was 5 mmol/L of Mn2+ at 40°C and pH 5.0 with an activity of 0.772 U using Alternaria alternata cell wall as substrate. The optimal condition of inrCHI32 was 5 mmol/L of Ba2+ at 45°C and pH 5.0 with an activity of 0.792 U using Valsa sordida cell wall as substrate. The optimal reaction condition of exrCHI31 was 5 mmol/L of Zn2+ at 40°C and pH 5.0, and the activity was 0.921 U using the A. alternata cell wall as substrate. Simultaneously, the optimal condition of exrCHI32 was 5 mmol/L of K+ at 45°C and pH 5.0, with V. sordida cell wall as the substrate, and the activity was 0.897 U. Furthermore, the activities of extracellular recombinant enzymes on fungal cell walls and compounds were generally higher than those of the intracellular recombinant enzymes. Recombinant exrCHI31 and exrCHI32 have better hydrolytic ability on cell walls of different fungi than synthetic chitins and obviously showed activity against A. alternata.

Calreticulin-N58 (CRT-N58), an active fragment of calreticulin with anti-angiogenesis activity, was expressed in P. pastoris by high density cell culture. Calreticulin-N58 DNA was synthesized by PCR and cloned to plasmid pPIC9 K resulting in the plasmid pPIC9 K-crt-N58 which was then transformed into P. pastoris GS115. The fermentation was carried out in a 50 l bioreactor with 20 l modified growth medium recommended by Invitrogen at 30°C. The cells were first grown in glycerol-PTM4 trace salts for 24 h. When the cell density was grown to A(600) = 135, methanol-PTM4 trace salts was added to induce the expression of calreticulin-N58. During the fermentation, dissolved oxygen level was maintained at 20-30%, pH was controlled at 5 by adding 7 M NH(4)OH. After 52 h of induction, the yield of secreted calreticulin-N58 was 70 mg/l and biomass growth was 293 as measured by absorption of 600 nm. The secreted calreticulin-N58 was purified to a purity of 100% by the use of SP-Sepharose FF ion-exchange chromatography (Pharmacia Biotech. NJ, USA) and desalted with ultrafiltration device (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA). The recombinant calreticulin-N58 induced endothelial cell apoptosis and inhibited the angiogenesis on the CAM.

A novel laccase gene from Monilinia fructigena was synthesized chemically according to the yeast bias codon and integrated into the genome of Pichia pastoris GS115 by electroporation. The expressed enzyme was recovered from the culture supernatant and purified. The result of enzyme activity assay and SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the recombinant laccase was induced and extracellularly expressed in P. pastoris. Main biochemical properties of this laccase, such as thermodependence and thermostability, optimal pH and pH stability, and the effect of metal ions and inhibitors, were characterized. With 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate (ABTS) as the substrate, MfLcc had its optimal pH at 3.5 and optimal temperature at 45°C. The Km values of the ABTS, guaiacol were 0.012 and 0.016 Mm, respectively, and the corresponding V (max) values are 243.9 and 10.55 Um min(-1) mg(-1), respectively. The recombinant laccase degraded 80% 2,4,6-trichlorophenol after 8 h under the optimal conditions. The recombinant strain and its laccase can be considered as candidate for treating waste water polluted with trichlorophenols.
