Glucoamylase is an industrially extremely important enzyme in the fermentative production of ethanol, used in the enzymatic conversion of starch into high glucose and fructose syrups. The aim of this study is to construct a Rhizopus arrhizus glucoamylase gene (RaGA)--introns artificially spliced by PCR--suitable for expression in S. cerevisiae host and tried expressing in Picha pastoris. In previous work, we failed in amplifying glucoamylase gene from R. arrhizus by RT-PCR, so several primers were designed to splicing the introns by PCR in vitro. Sequence analysis shown that all introns in the RaGA were deleted correctly and no mutant was induced in the extrons compared with the RaGA gene originally cloned. The RaGA gene artificially constructed was transferred into P. pastoris integrative expression vectors pPIC9 (containing а-factor). Consequently, the plasmids pPIC9-RaGA was lineared by SacI and inserted into P. pastoris GS115 (His-) genome downstream of the 5'AOX1 promoter by the method of electroporation. Induction by 0.75% methanol for 72 h led to synthesis of secreted glucoamylase. So it is demonstrated that the glucoamylase gene has been expressed in and secreted from P. pastoris.
