title: Comparison of three signals for secretory expression of recombinant human midkine in Pichia pastoris.
abstract: The secretion signals of Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha mating factor, human midkine itself, and Pichia pastoris acid phosphatase, were tried for the expression of human midkine under the control of the AOX1 gene promoter in P. pastoris. Approximately 28 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l, and 0.2 mg/l of midkine were secreted by using the a mating factor pre-pro-sequence, the midkine signal sequence, and the phosphatase signal sequence in flask cultures, respectively.
