Abstract  Objective: To express antibacterial peptide PR39 in Pichia pastoris and determine the activity of product.Methods: Four oligonucleotide fragments were synthesized according to the codon bias of Pichia pastoris,and complete coding sequence was obtained by overlapping PCR, then the sequence was cloned to expression vector pPIC9K. The sequence by Kex2 to the first nucleotide of PR39 was knocked out on the recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-PR39, then the sequence of GGATCCAA in 5'UTR was also deleted by PCR-Restriction Enzyme ligation method, finally a new expression vector named pPIC9K-PR39-D-E was obtained. The vector pPIC9K-PR39-D-E was transformed to Pichia pastoris SMD1168, and clones were identified by PCR and than screened with G418 for expression under induction of 0.5% methanol. The expressed product was identified by Tricine-SDS-PAGE, and determined for antibacterial activity by agarose diffusion test,purified by reversed phase chromatography and ion-exchange column chromatography. Results: PR39 with 4.7kDa and reached 175.6mg/L after purification. It showed antibacterial activity to E.coli DH5α. Conclusion: PR39 was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris, which laid a foundation of further study on antibacterial peptide.
