Optimized expression of Peptidyl-prolyl cis/transisomerase cyclophilinB with prokaryotic toxicity from Sporothrix globosa
Abstract
Cyclophilin B (CypB), a significant member of immunophilins family with peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, is crucial for the growth and metabolism of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Sporothrix globosa (S. globosa), a principal pathogen in the Sporothrix complex, causes sporotrichosis. Transcriptomic analysis identified the cypB gene as highly expressed in S. globosa. Our previous study demonstrated that the recombinant Escherichia coli strain containing SgcypB gene failed to produce sufficient product when it was induced to express the protein, implying the potential toxicity of recombinant protein to the bacterial host. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that SgCypB contains transmembrane peptides within the 52 amino acid residues at the N-terminus and 21 amino acids near the C-terminus, and 18 amino acid residues within the cytoplasm. AlphaFold2 predicted a SgCypB 3D structure in which there is an independent PPIase domain consisting of a spherical extracellular part. Hence, we chose to express the extracellular domain to yield high-level recombinant protein with PPIase activity. Finally, we successfully produced high-yield, truncated recombinant CypB protein from S. globosa (SgtrCypB) that retained characteristic PPIase activity without host bacterium toxicity. This study presents an alternative expression strategy for proteins toxic to prokaryotes, such as SgCypB.
One-sentence summary: The recombinant cyclophilin B protein of Sporothrix globosa was expressed successfully by retaining extracellular domain with peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase activity to avoid toxicity to the host bacterium.
Keywords: Sporotrix globosa; Cyclophilin B; Optimized expression.
