The GAP gene promoter was amplified from P. pastoris GS115 and used to replace the AOX1 promoter (P(AOX1)) on pPIC9K resulting in plasmid pGAP9K. The recombinant expression vector pGAP9K-AS was constructed by inserting the angiostatin gene(AS) into pGAP9K. pGAP9K-AS was then transformed into P. pastoris GS115. The multi-copy integration transformant P. pastoris GS115 (pGAP9K-AS) was used to investigate the constitutive expression of angiostatin in P. pastoris. The expression of angiostatin reached its peak after 4 d of culture in P. pastoris GS115 (pGAP9K-AS) while the angiostatin expressed in P. pastoris GS115 (pPIC9K-AS) after 4 d of induction or 5 d of culture is only 70% of that expressed by P. pastoris GS115 (pGAP9K-AS). The AS expression in inducible system reached the peak after 6 d of induction but the expressed AS was only 86% of that from constitutive system. The results of anti-angiogenic and antitumor activity assay showed that AS expressed from both constitutive and inducible system inhibited the CAM angiogenesis and suppressed B16 melanoma in C57BL/6J mouse and that the tumor inhibition rates reached 90.63% and 90.54%, respectively. The above data indicates that the constitutive promoter P(GAP) can served as an effective alternative to the inductive promoter P(AOX1) to express AS and other proteins in P. pastoris.
