Resumen

AWAD, Suadad; AL-AHMER, Saife D  y  SALIH, Shahla'a M. Expression in Saccharomyces boulardii of recombinant Toxin-coregulated pilus A subunit (TcpA) of Vibrio cholerae O1. Vaccimonitor [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.3, pp.136-142.  Epub 01-Dic-2020. ISSN 1025-028X.

Cholera is endemic in over 50 countries with an estimated mortality of 100,000-120,000. Vaccination is considered the complementary key to prevent and control cholera; therefore, alternative vaccine preparations are needed. Toxin Co-regulated Pilus is part of the toxR virulence regulon, which is necessary for colonization in the intestinal mucosa. In order to express Vibrio cholerae TcpA protein in Saccharomyces boulardii, the expression plasmid pYES2 was constructed by inserting tcpA gene isolated from local Vibrio cholerae Eltor Inaba isolates. The new construct was transferred into Saccharomyces boulardii cells and the expression of tcpA gene was induced from the GAL1 promoter by adding galactose to the medium. The SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed the presence of TcpA in yeast. These results showed that Saccharomyces boulardii is a promising host to express Vibrio cholerae toxin TcpA as the first step in attempt to produce an oral Vibrio cholerae vaccine.
