Bioreactor-Scale Strategies for the Production of Recombinant Protein in the Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.

Recombinant protein production is a multibillion-dollar market. Therefore, an important area of ​​research both in academia and industry. The use of yeast as a cell factory presents some advantages such as ease of genetic manipulation, growth at high cell density, and the possibility of post-translational modifications. Yarrowia lipolytica is regarded as one of the most attractive host for its ability to metabolize the crude substrates, Chicken Recombinant Proteins to express the gene at high levels, and to secrete proteins in large quantities.

In recent years, several reviews have been dedicated to genetic tools developed for this purpose. Although the construction of efficient cell factories for the synthesis of recombinant proteins is important, the development of efficient processes for the production of recombinant proteins in a bioreactor is an equally important aspect. Indeed, the sports car can not drive fast on a gravel road. 

The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of the process tool to consider for the production of recombinant proteins in a bioreactor using Y. lipolytica as a plant cell, in order to facilitate decision-making for the future strain engineering and process.

Methyl-selective isotopic labeling using α-ketoisovalerate for yeast Pichia pastoris expression system of recombinant proteins.


Methyl-detected NMR spectroscopy is a useful tool to probe the structure and interaction of large macromolecules such as membrane proteins. The procedure for the preparation of methyl-specific isotopically-labeled protein expression system was established for Escherichia coli (E. coli), but usually not feasible to express eukaryotic protein using E. coli. The Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) expression system is the most common yeast expression system, and E. coli is known superior system for the expression of mammalian proteins, including secretory and membrane proteins.

 However, this system has not been optimized for methyl-specific isotopic labeling, especially for Val / Leu-methyl-specific incorporation of isotopes. To overcome this difficulty, we explored various culture conditions for yeast cells to efficiently uptake precursor Val / Leu. Among the condition searched, we found that the pH of aquaculture have an important effect on the Val / Leu precursor uptake. 

At acidic pH cultivation, absorption E.coli Recombinant Proteins precursor Val / Leu increased, and the methyl group of Val and Leu recombinant proteins synthesized 1H-13C produces an intense correlation signal. Based on these results, we present an optimized protocol for Val / Leu-methyl-13C selective incorporation by P. pastoris expression system.

Deciphering how LIP2 and POX2 promoters can optimally regulate recombinant protein production in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica.

BACKGROUND In recent years, species of non-conventional yeasts Model Yarrowia lipolytica has received much attention because it is a useful plant cells to produce recombinant proteins. In this species, the expression vector involving LIP2 and POX2 promoter has been developed and successfully used for the production of proteins on the same results with or even higher than other cell factories, such as Pichia pastoris. General Recombinant Proteins  However, the production process involving the promoter can be difficult to manage, especially if done on a large scale in fed-batch bioreactor, because they require a hydrophobic inducers, such as oleic acid or methyl oleate. Thus, the challenge has been to reduce the burden on the hydrophobic substrate while promoting the production of recombinant proteins. One possible solution is to replace most of the inducer with co-substrates that can serve as an alternative energy source.  However, applying such an approach would require a deta...

Characterization of a panARS-based episomal vector in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris for recombinant protein production and synthetic biology applications.

BACKGROUND production of recombinant proteins in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris largely depends on integrative vector. Although the stability of the integrated expression cassette was well rewarded for most applications, the availability of reliable episomal vector to host this would represent a useful tool to accelerate cloning and high-throughput screening, ameliorating also relatively high clonal variability reported in the transformants of integrative vector caused by the integration of off- targets in P. pastoris genome. Hamster Recombinant Proteins More recently, heterologous and endogenous autonomously replicating sequences (ARS) have been identified in P. pastoris by genome mining, opening up the possibility of expanding the toolbox is available for efficient episomal plasmid insert. The purpose of this technical report is to validate the 452-bp sequence ( "panARS") in the context of P. pastoris expression vector, and to compare their performance to the clas...
