Recombinant horseradish peroxidase production in species of lepidoptera frequently found in Argentina
Horseradish peroxidase isozyme C (HRPC) is an important commercial biocatalyst. In this study, a screening of different lepidopteran species frequently found in Argentina to produce this protein was carried out. Two recombinant viruses were constructed: AcMNPV HRPC polyhedrin-minus (occ−), an intrah...

| Sumario: | Horseradish peroxidase isozyme C (HRPC) is an important commercial biocatalyst. In this study, a screening of different lepidopteran species frequently found in Argentina to produce this protein was carried out. Two recombinant viruses were constructed: AcMNPV HRPC polyhedrin-minus (occ−), an intrahemocelical infective virus; and AcMNPV HRPC polyhedrin-plus (occ+), to achieve an oral infective baculovirus. Each lepidopteran species was infected either with AcMNPV HRPC occ− or AcMNPV HRPC occ+ and the harvesting days post-infection (dpi) were optimized. All species were susceptible to AcMNPV HRPC occ− infection, giving Spodoptera frugiperda the best yield: 41 μg per larva. Rachiplusia nu was highly susceptible to oral infection, reaching 22 μg per larva at 4 dpi. HRPC was purified by IMAC from S. frugiperda extracts with a yield of 86% and a purification factor of 29. |
