Fasciola hepatica produces, during infection, a series of cathepsin L-type cysteines which allow the parasite to invade, feed, and escape the immune system. The trematode expresses 7 isoforms of Cathepsin type L, being cathepsin L5 (CatL5Fh) secreted in a higher proportion in the adult stage; therefore, it is considered that this proteinase is involved in survival and feeding since it can degrade protein components of the definitive host. At the Molecular Biotechnology Unit (UBM) it has been determined that CatL5Fh can degrade ST3 (encoded in UBM), therefore it is of interest to evaluate this cysteine proteinase as a potential agent for biomedical application. Because the purification of native CatL5Fh from adult parasites requires investment of cost and time resulting in low yields of pure proteinase; The objective of the present study is to express rCatL5Fh in the expression system of the vector pET-26b (+) in the BL21 and Rosetta strains of Escherichia coli, to purify and characterize its activity with the ST3 substrate. rCatL5Fh was cloned and expressed by fermentation with different concentrations of IPTG and at different times to control the formation of inclusion bodies. The highest production yield of purified rCatL5Fh that was obtained with BL21 was 4.5 mg per 100 ml of culture with 1 mM IPTG, 37 ° C for 16 hours and with Rosetta it was 6 mg per 100 ml with 0.25 mM IPTG, 37 ° C for 8 hours. However, rCatL5Fh purified by different procedures did not have proteolytic activity, which is why it is suggested that this proteinase requires transit through the secretion system to achieve post-translational modifications and proper folding of its active form, processes that do not occur in systems of prokaryotic expression.
