Optimisation of Recombinant Myrosinase Production in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
Myrosinase is a plant defence enzyme catalysing the hydrolysis of glucosinolates, a group of plant secondary metabolites, to a range of volatile compounds. One of the products, isothiocyanates, proved to have neuroprotective and chemo-preventive properties, making myrosinase a pharmaceutically interesting enzyme.

Improved Production of Recombinant Myrosinase in Pichia pastoris [PDF]
The effect of the deletion of a 57 bp native signal sequence, which transports the nascent protein through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in plants, on improved AtTGG1 plant myrosinase production in Pichia pastoris was studied. Myrosinase was extracellularly produced in a 3-liter laboratory fermenter using α-mating factor as the secretion signal ...
