چکیده

We report further development of a novel recombinant protein expression system based on the Gram-negative bacterium, Ralstonia eutropha. In this study, we were able to express soluble, active, organophosphohydrolase (OPH), a protein that is prone to inclusion body formation in Escherichia coli, at titers greater than 10 g/L in high cell density fermentation. This represents a titer that is approximately 100-fold greater than titers previously reported in E. coli for this enzyme. R. eutropha strains expressing OPH were generated in two cloning steps. First, the T7 RNA polymerase gene was placed under the control of the strong, inducible phaP promoter and integrated into the phaP locus of R. eutropha NCIMB 40124. Second, a single copy of the oph gene under control of the T7 promoter was randomly integrated into the chromosome using a transposon cloning vector.

CONSTRUCTION OF RECOMBINANT PLASMIDS FOR PERIPLASMIC EXPRESSION OF HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE IN ESCHERICHIA COLI UNDER T7 AND LAC PROMOTERS

In order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hGH) in Escherichia coli, the related cDNA was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelB signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage T7-based promoter. The recombinant plasmids were moved to TG1 and BL21 strains of E. coli, respectively. To induce the expression systems, IPTG and...

Bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase-based expression in Pichia pastoris.

A novel Pichia pastoris expression vector (pEZT7) for the production of recombinant proteins employing prokaryotic bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) (EC 2.7.7.6) and the corresponding promoter pT7 was constructed. The gene for T7 RNAP was stably introduced into the P. pastoris chromosome 2 under control of the (endogenous) constitutive P. pastoris glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenas...

Integrated recombinant protein expression and purification platform based on Ralstonia eutropha.

Protein purification of recombinant proteins constitutes a significant cost of biomanufacturing and various efforts have been directed at developing more efficient purification methods. We describe a protein purification scheme wherein Ralstonia eutropha is used to produce its own "affinity matrix," thereby eliminating the need for external chromatographic purification steps. This approach is b...

A novel system for stable, high-level expression from the T7 promoter

BACKGROUND The most widespread, efficient prokaryotic protein-producing system is one where the T7 phage polymerase recognizes the T7 phage promoter (T7 p/p system). Unfortunately, in this system, target protein expression gradually declines and is often undetectable following 3 to 5 subcultures. Although a number of studies have attempted to stabilize the expression levels of the T7 p/p system...

Development of a broad-host synthetic biology toolbox for ralstonia eutropha and its application to engineering hydrocarbon biofuel production

BACKGROUND The chemoautotrophic bacterium Ralstonia eutropha can utilize H2/CO2 for growth under aerobic conditions. While this microbial host has great potential to be engineered to produce desired compounds (beyond polyhydroxybutyrate) directly from CO2, little work has been done to develop genetic part libraries to enable such endeavors. RESULTS We report the development of a toolbox for t...
