摘要
The ospA gene of Borrelia burgdorferi codes for an outer membrane lipoprotein, which is a major antigen of the Lyme disease agent. Recombinant OspA vaccines tested so far were expressed in Escherichia coli. In this study, we investigated the expression of a soluble OspA protein in Nicotiana tabacum suspension cells and evaluated the secretion of OspA driven by either its own bacterial signal peptide or a plant signal peptide fused to the amino-terminal cysteine of the mature form. In both cases, the signal peptide was cleaved off and OspA secreted. During secretion, OspA was N-glycosylated. Addition of a C-terminal KDEL sequence led to retention of OspA in the endoplasmic reticulum.
