Abstract:

Recombinant Streptomyces griseus aminopeptidase (SGAP) was produced using Cangene's expression system, CANGENUS. This heat-stable aminopeptidase with an N-terminal Ala-Pro-Asp-Ile-Pro-Leu-Ala-Asn-Val-Lys-Ala sequence was purified from 16L of Streptomyces lividans fermentation supernatant with high purity and 19.5% recovery rate. This was achieved by the combination of hydrophobic-interaction and size-exclusion chromatographic procedures. The calcium-activated zinc metalloprotein demonstrated no loss of activity at -20 degrees C for at least 8 weeks in both liquid and freeze-dried formulations. The recombinant SGAP showed an apparent molecular mass of 31 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and 26.8 kDa by gel filtration. The simple, high-yield, inexpensive purification method with few intermediate steps provides a novel and practical procedure for large-scale production of active recombinant S. griseus aminopeptidase.
