Abstrakt: Many strategies have been developed to produce high levels of biologically active recombinant proteins in plants for biopharmaceutical purposes. However, the production of an active form of human iduronate-2-sulfatase (hIDS) for the treatment of Hunter syndrome by enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is challenging due to the requirement for cotranslational modification by a formylglycine-producing enzyme encoded by sulfatase modifying factor 1 (hSUMF1) at the Cys84 residue, which converts it to C(alpha)-formylglycine. In this study, we have shown that hIDS can be highly expressed in N. benthamiana by using different constructs. Among them, BiP-GB1-L-dCBD1-2L-8xHis-L-6xHis-3L-EK-hIDS-HDEL (GB1-CBD1-hIDS) showed a high expression level when transiently co-expressed with the turnip crinkle virus gene silencing suppressor P38 and GB1-fused human calreticulin (GB1-CRT1) as a folding enhancer. The hSUMF1 was co-expressed with hIDS for cotranslational modification. The full-length recombinant proteins were purified using Ni2+-NTA affinity resin followed by enterokinase treatment to obtain tag-free hIDS. The N-terminal fragment was removed using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) beads. The purified active form of hIDS can successfully cleave the sulfate group from an artificial substrate, 4-nitrocatechol sulfate, at a similar level to commercial hIDS expressed in animal cells. These results suggest that plants could be a promising platform for the production of recombinant hIDS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
