Abstract
We previously identified novel AY30 antifreeze protein from psychrophilic arctic yeast, Leucosporidium sp. In this study, we developed an expression system allowing high-level production and efficient purification of recombinant AY30 (rAY30). We have succeeded in the cloning of AY30 gene and the gene product was efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris. Our expression system comprises N-terminal secretion signal sequence to promote the secretion of rAY30. N-terminal sequencing of the secreted rAY30 revealed that the signal sequence is immediately cleaved from the polypeptide once it has been translocated into the culture media. A simple purification protocol for secreted rAY30 involved in three steps: anion-exchange chromatography, cold-finger, followed by size exclusion chromatography on Superdex 200 column. 10 mg of rAY30 was purified to 98% purity from 3 liter culture supernatant. Purified rAY30 was characterized using western blot, periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining and circular dichroism method. Its molecular mass difference between glycosylated and unglycosylated rAY30 and PAS staining showed that rAY30 is a glycoprotein. Analysis of the antifreeze activity showed that glycosylated rAY30 and unglycosylated rAY30 exhibit similar activity. This result suggests that the glycan part of AY30 is not essential for antifreeze function. In addition, circular dichroism spectra analy
