The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris is a popular host for recombinant expression of proteins. Plasmids containing the Pichia autonomously replicating sequence (PARS) transform P. pastoris with higher efficiency than linear DNA equipped with termini designed for homologous recombination. Moreover, PARS containing constructs provide higher protein yields. Unfortunately, these autonomous plasmids are inherently unstable and the preferred method of P. pastoris transformation is therefore stable integration in the genome by homologous recombination. In the present study we report that a novel combination of PARS and linearization of plasmids for P. pastoris transformation serves to significantly increase the transformation efficiency. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the constructs do not re-circularize but integrate stably into the P. pastoris genome.

Pseudorabies virus (Pseudorabiesvirus, PRV) has caused huge economic losses to the global pig industry. In recent years, it has been reported that there are PRV mutants, but the traditional vaccine can not completely prevent or control the infection of PRV, so there is an urgent need to develop new broad-spectrum anti-disease drugs for prevention and treatment. PNGase F from bacteria can catalyze the hydrolysis of oligosaccharides linked to asparagine residues on peptides, so we speculate that PNGase F can inhibit virus infection by removing the glycosylation of virus membrane glycoproteins.

Background: Interferon-beta (IFN-β) is a cytokine with a wide range of biological and pharmaceutical applications, including multiple sclerosis (MS), cancer, some autoimmune disorders, and viral infectious diseases. Thus, many studies have been performed to develop novel strategies for the high-yield production of functional IFN-β in a cost-effective approach. Here, we aimed to improve the intracellular expression of IFN-β-1a in .
