Aim: To achieve secretory expression of mature sCD14 gene in Pichia pastoris and to analyze its LPS binding activity.
Methods: sCD14 gene was cloned into yeast expression vector pPIC9K. Recombinant plasmid was lineared by Sac I and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115. Positive integrated clones were screened and expressed by methanol inducing.
Results: The mature sCD14 was expressed in BMMY with pH 6.5 after optimization of inducing expression condition. Western blot and ELISA data revealed recombinant products combined with specific antibody. The results from FACS showed recombinant product had biological activity of binding with LPS.
Conclusion: The recombinant mature sCD14 molecules with favorable LPS-binding activity could be used for further study on its structure and functions.

Lipases from the basidiomycete fungus Ustilago maydis are promising but underexplored biocatalysts due to their high homology with Candida antarctica lipases. This study provides a comprehensive characterization of a recombinant CALB-like lipase from U. maydis, expressed in Pichia pastoris (rUMLB), and compares its properties with those of the well-studied recombinant lipase B from C.

Expanding toolkits of EPA/DHA enrichment from natural sources is essential for better satisfying increasing demands for them. Lipase K80, from Proteus vulgaris K80, showed an application potential in EPA/DHA enrichment, whereas no desired heterologous expression in generally regarded as safe (GRAS) hosts restricted its relevant applications. In this study, expression of lipase K80 in a well-reputed GRAS host, Pichia pastoris, was achieved and further enhanced via combining disruption of its C-terminal KKL motif with co-expression of N-Acetyltransferase Mpr1, with a cumulative increment of nearly 200% in the secretion level and the volumetric activity.

Astaxanthin is a kind of carotenoid with a strong antioxidant ability, which has shown broad applications in the areas of healthcare, medicine, cosmetics, food additives, and aquaculture. With the increasing demand for natural products, the microbial production of astaxanthin has become a new hot spot. In this study, the astaxanthin synthesis pathway was first metabolically constructed in ()().
