At first, five potential signal peptides(W1, MF4 I, INU1 A, αpre, HFBI) were chosen to be analyzed by Signal P 4.0, among which W1 was designed. Then, the widely used signal peptide α-factor in expression vector p GAPZαA was replaced by those five signal peptides to reconstruct five new expression vectors. MAN activity was assayed after expression vectors were transformed into Pichia pastoris. The data show that the relative efficiencies of W1, MF4 I, INU1 A, αpre, and HFBI signal peptides are 23.5%, 203.5%, 0, 79.7%, and 120.3% compared with α-factor, respectively. The further gene copy number determination by the quantitative real-time PCR reveals that the MAN activities mediated by α-factor from 1 to 6 gene copy number levels are 12.95, 43.33, 126.63, 173.53, 103.23 and 88.63 U/m L, while those mediated by MF4 I are 79.22, 133.89, 260.14, 347.5, 206.15 and 181.89 U/m L, respectively. The maximum MAN activity reached 347.5 U/m L with 4 gene copies mediated by MF4 I. These results indicate that replacing the signal peptide α-factor with MF4 I and increasing MAN gene copies to a proper number can greatly improve the secretory expression of MAN.展开更多
