Yeast-derived recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I: Production, purification, and structural characterization

Abstract: Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is efficiently expressed and secreted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using a yeast alpha-factor leader to direct secretion. However, approximately 10-20% of the IGF-I was in a monomeric form, the remaining materials being disulfide-linked aggregates. When the purified material was subjected to reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (rp-HPLC), it gave two doublet peaks, I and II. Upon reduction, doublet peaks I and II converged to one doublet p… Show more

“…Like the situation for insulin, IGF-1 bioactivity and normal half-life requires the presence of all three native disulfide bonds (56 -58). Although disulfide mispairing in vivo has not previously been reported for singlechain insulin or proinsulin, it is well known to occur during production of IGF-1 in the secretory pathway (36,37) and upon IGF-1 refolding in vitro (55,59,60). Mispaired disulfide isomers of IGF-1 maintain some biological activity and elements of secondary structure (56,59).…”

“…The prokaryote E. coli is the primary choice for recombinant protein expression because of its facility in handling and cultivation, but direct expression of IGF-1 in E. coli may result in the formation of inclusion body [17], [18] or disulfide-linked aggregates [19]. A yeast expression system has the ability of glycosylation, but the glycosylation is not always correct [14], [19].…”

“…Nevertheless, native rhIGF-1 represents only 10 to 20% of the total rhIGF-1 production; most of the rhIGF-1 is inactive, essentially composed of dimers or multimers. Such forms are due to the formation of incorrect intra-and intermolecular disulfide bonds (4,7,23). In this report we describe an integrated approach to increasing the secretion and/or production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae of monomeric correctly folded rhIGF-1 using an expression system based on the prepro-␣-factor leader sequence.…”
