Abstract:

Recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris is based on alcohol oxidase promoterswhich are regulated by methanol. However, the use of methanol has several disadvantages,which is why current trends in bioprocess development with Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) arefocusing on methanol mixed feeding strategies. This work aimed to develop a new experimentalmethod and compare the effect of various fractions of sorbitol in mixed feeding strategy withstepwise addition of methanol to maximize the productivity of human growth hormone.Accordingly, fed-batch culture performed with a mixed feed of sorbitol/methanol. Sorbitol atconcentrations of 30, 40, 50 and 60 gram per liter was added in batch-wise mode to the mediumat the beginning of induction phase and the rate of methanol addition was increased stepwiseduring the first 12 h of production and then kept constant. In order to understand the effects ofvarious co-substrate feeding strategies on P. pastoris and its production of hGH, cell mass, drycell weight, total protein, hGH expression level and hGH concentration were analyzed and theresults compared with the basic feeding protocol using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).According to the obtained results, sorbitol at a concentration of 50 g/L could significantlyincrease the production yield. Under such optimal conditions cell biomass was 108 g/L (DCW),total protein was 0.807 g/L, expression level was 83.1% and rhGH concentration was 0.667 g/Lfollowing 30 h induction.

Production of recombinant human epidermal growth factor in Pichia pastoris

This study was carried out to express human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) in Pichia pastoris GS115. For this aim, the hEGF gene was cloned into the pPIC9K expression vector, and then integrated into P. pastoris by electroporation. ELISA-based assay showed that the amount of hEGF secreted into the medium can be affected by the fermentation conditions especially by culture medium, pH and tempera...

P-205: Production of Recombinant Fish FSH Hormone in Pichia Pastoris

Background: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that composing alpha and beta subunits with non-covalently bonds. This hormone involve in regulation of the reproductive processes such as gamete generation and follicular growth. Injection of the hormone in most of fish species increases 17 beta-estradiol production by ovarian tissue and also stimulat...

Effect of Codon Optimisation on the Production of Recombinant Fish Growth Hormone in Pichia pastoris

This study was established to test the hypothesis of whether the codon optimization of fish growth hormone gene (FGH) based on P. pastoris preferred codon will improve the quantity of secreted rFGH in culture supernatant that can directly be used as fish feed supplements. The optimized FGH coding sequence (oFGH) and native sequence (nFGH) of giant grouper fish (Epinephelus lanceolatus) were clo...

A quantitative study of methanol/sorbitol co-feeding process of a Pichia pastoris Mut+/pAOX1-lacZ strain

BACKGROUND One of the main challenges for heterologous protein production by the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris at large-scale is related to its high oxygen demand. A promising solution is a co-feeding strategy based on a methanol/sorbitol mixture during the induction phase. Nonetheless, a deep understanding of the cellular physiology and the regulation of the AOX1 promoter, used to gover...
