Team INSA UPS France 2017's usage with Pichia pastoris strain to secret Antimicrobial peptides

We fusionnate the alpha secretion factor with an antimicrobial peptides (AMP). The construction was put under the control of a pGAP promoter.

The construction was cloned in pPICZalpha vector and has been integrated in Pichia pastoris thanks to p(GAP) genomic homology region.

The effect of signal factor was investigated by a toxicity assay with AMP. We intend to see an inhibition effect of the yeast solution if the AMP are secreted i.e. if the alpha secretion factor works properly. Here is a summary of our result : figure coming soon

Figure RTq-PCR of D-NY15 under the control of pGAP promoterThe amount of fluorescence provided by the RTq-PCR with the D-NY15 amorces is raising after few cycles (8.32 +/- 0.03) whereas the negative control (pPIC only) start to be amplified at 29 cycles (non specific amplification). This mean that mRNA of DNY15 have been produced.
We can observed a significant inhibition halo meaning that the AMP have been secreted thanks to the alpha factor. Perspectives : other experiments could be performed with a reporter gene (GFP or RFP for instance) to observe the location of the protein fusionnated with the alpha factor signal in yeast by microscopy.
