研究用乳糖替代IPTG作为诱导剂进行重组蛋白的表达,观察乳糖对乳糖操纵子调控的基因工程菌发酵及重组血管内皮抑素表达的影响,从而选取最佳诱导表达条件。以重组人血管内皮抑素表达工程菌pETrhEN/BL21(DE3)作为研究对象,分别用IPTG和乳糖作为诱导剂,在摇瓶中进行表达实验。并对重组蛋白质表达量进行分析。然后在5 L发酵罐中进行验证。在摇瓶培养条件下,乳糖浓度大于0.5 g/L即可以诱导目的蛋白的表达。乳糖浓度1 g/L时诱导目的蛋白表达量与1 mmol/L的IPTG相当,当乳糖浓度为10 g/L,目的蛋白表达量达到最大。在发酵罐培养条件下,补料4 h后葡萄糖浓度基本耗尽,此时开始加入乳糖。诱导后1 h,即有重组蛋白表达,在诱导后4 h达到高峰(占菌体可溶性蛋白的56%),与此同时,诱导后5 h菌体浓度也达到最高值。在以乳糖操纵子为调控手段的工程菌表达系统中,可以使用乳糖作为诱导剂,诱导应在葡萄糖消耗完后进行。

Lactose Induction Increases Production of Recombinant Keratinocyte Growth Factor-2 in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis>

Recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rhKGF-2) has previously been expressed in Escherichia coli using isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), a non-metabolizable and expensive compound, as the inducer. In order to determine whether IPTG could be replaced with the cheap and natural lactose to induce rhKGF-2 expression, we examined the expression of rhKGF-2 in flask culture and 30-l fermentation using lactose as the inducer. The optimized fermentation induced with lactose resulted in 1,382 g of cell mass, corresponding to a 84% enhancement in cell mass compared with IPTG induction. While the expression level of rhKGF-2 induced with lactose was comparable to that induced with IPTG, the solubility of target protein was increased by lactose induction than by IPTG induction. The recombinant protein was further purified by cation exchange and heparin-affinity chromatography. 255 milligrams of pure rhKGF-2 was achieved per liter culture by lactose induction, 52% higher than that obtained by IPTG induction. A preliminary biochemical characterization of purified rhKGF-2 was performed by Western blotting and mitogenic activity analysis, and the results demonstrated that the purified lactose-induced rhKGF-2 could react with anti-human KGF-2 antibody and stimulate the proliferation of FGFR2-IIIb-transfected mouse BaF3 cells as IPTG-induced rhKGF-2 could do.     

Efficient use of lactose for the lac promotercontrolled overexpression of the main antigenic protein of the foot and mouth disease virus in Escherichia coli under fed-batch fermentation conditions

Abstract: Derivatives of the lac promoter (tac, pac, rac) belong to the strongest bacterial promoters which are frequently used for the induced overexpression of foreign genes in Escherichia coli . However, their use in fermentation processes is strongly restricted because of the high cost of the inducer iso-propyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The aim of this work was to investigate the possibility of using lac-derived promoters in high cell density processes resulting in a high yield of the induced recombinant protein if glucose is the main carbon and energy source. Lactose is tested as inducer of the main antigenic coat protein (VP1) of the foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus in a T7-RNA polymerase expression system. It was shown that lactose is able to induce the expression of the recombinant gene to an amount of the VP1 protein corresponding to 20% of the total cell protein.     

Maximizing the expression of a recombinant gene in Escherichia coli by manipulation of induction time using lactose as inducer

Summary The use of isopropyl--d-thiogalactoside (IPTG) for induction of the lac-promoter in small-scale cultivations is well established. However, for large-scale microbiological processes the cost of this inducer is a severe limitation. Here is described a method by which lactose is used as inducer of the lac promoter with the same efficiency as that of IPTG. It was found that after growth on glucose the time of the addition of lactose is important for the quality of induction. the resulting yield of the recombinant protein increased when lactose was added to the culture if the glucose concentration was rather low. By careful monitoring of the glucose level in the fermentation, using a biosensor, it was possible to add the inducer when the carbon source was nearly depleted. Using Escherichia coli BL21 (pET3), in which was cloned the main antigen coat protein of the foot and mouth disease virus, induction of the gene led to expression of the target protein at a level exceeding 20% of the total cell protein.Offprint requests to: P.

High cell density cultivation of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> with surface anchored transglucosidase for use as whole-cell biocatalyst for α-arbutin synthesis

A fed-batch culture strategy for the production of recombinant Escherichia coli cells anchoring surface-displayed transglucosidase for use as a whole-cell biocatalyst for α-arbutin synthesis was developed. Lactose was used as an inducer of the recombinant protein. In fed-batch cultures, dissolved oxygen was used as the feed indicator for glucose, thus accumulation of glucose and acetate that affected the cell growth and recombinant protein production was avoided. Fed-batch fermentation with lactose induction yielded a biomass of 18 g/L, and the cells possessed very high transglucosylation activity. In the synthesis of α-arbutin by hydroquinone glucosylation, the whole-cell biocatalysts showed a specific activity of 501 nkat/g cell and produced 21 g/L of arbutin, which corresponded to 76% molar conversion. A sixfold increased productivity of whole cell biocatalysts was obtained in the fed-batch culture with lactose induction, as compared to batch culture induced by IPTG.     

Large increase in Leuconostoc citreum KM20 dextransucrase activity achieved by changing the strain/inducer combination in an E. coli expression system

A recombinant putative dextransucrase (DexT) was produced from Leuconostoc citreum KM20 as a 160 kDa protein, but its productivity was very low (264 U/l). For optimization, we examined enzyme activity in 7 Escherichia coli strains with inducer molecules such as lactose or IPTG. E. coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RIL exhibited the highest enzyme activity with lactose. Finally, DexT activity was remarkably increased by 12-fold under the optimized culture conditions of a cell density to start induction (OD???) of 0.95, a lactose concentration of 7.5 mM, and an induction temperature of 17 degrees C. These results may effectively apply to the heterologous expression of other large DexT genes.
