pubmed:abstractText
Potential contamination of animal-derived collagen with pathogens has led to the demand for safe recombinant sources of this complex molecule. In continuation of our previous work [Ruggiero et al. (2000) FEBS Lett. 469, 132-136], here we show that it is possible to produce recombinant hydroxylated homotrimeric collagen in tobacco plants that are co-transformed with a human type I collagen and a chimeric proline-4-hydroxylase (P4H). This is to our knowledge the first time that transient expression in tobacco was used to improve the quality of a recombinant protein produced in plants through co-expression with an animal cell-derived modifying enzyme. We demonstrated the functionality of the new chimeric P4H and thus improved the thermal stability of recombinant collagen I from plants to 37 degrees C.
