Expression, characterization, and application of human-like recombinant gelatin.

ABSTRACT: Gelatin is a product obtained through partial hydrolysis and thermal denaturation of collagen, belonging to natural biopeptides. With irreplaceable biological functions in the field of biomedical science and tissue engineering, it has been widely applied. The amino acid sequence of recombinant human-like gelatin was constructed through a newly designed hexamer composed of six protein monomer sequences in series, with the minimum repeating unit being the characteristic Gly-X-Y sequence found in type III human collagen α1 chain. The nucleotide sequence was subsequently inserted into the genome of Pichia pastoris to enable soluble secretion expression of recombinant gelatin. At the shake flask fermentation level, the yield of recombinant gelatin is up to 0.057 g/L, and its purity can rise up
