This study is focus on the development for plant-derived biopharmaceuticals using<br />

molecular farming by the attempt to propose prototype and search expression system<br />

that plant-derived pharmaceutical protein can be produced. The mini-proinsulin is<br />

designed by minimizing C-peptide between A and B chain of insulin. Ala-Ala-Lys (AAK)<br />

processing site, trypsin cleavage site, is added in the end of Lys residue of B chain and in<br />

the front of Gly residue A chain. Also, His6-tag is re-combined to purify insulin in front of a<br />

C-terminal ER retention signal (KDEL) sequence which induces protein synthesis with high<br />

efficiency by accumulating in the form of protein. Especially, it is made possible to purify<br />

insulin protein by one-time trypsin treatment after extraction with His6-tag. Arg(R),<br />

Arg(R) dibasic processing site was added between A chain and His6-tag linked with Cpeptide.<br />

N. tabacum plants were transformed with this binary expression vector miniinsulinpTRAkt-rfp.<br />

After regeneration of transgenic plants in selection medium, the selected<br />

transgenic plants (T0) were confirmed the miniinsulin gene by PCR. After purification of<br />

miniinsulin protein from transgenic plants (T0), it will be determined whether it has an<br />

accurate molecular weight and processing, and then it has a physiological activity for<br />

insulin in vitro.<br />
