Optimization of human interferon gamma production in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Escherichia coli</Emphasis> by response surface methodology

The production of human interferon gamma (hIFN-γ) using a synthetic gene in Escherichia coli BL21-SI was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) and a Box-Behnken design. The process variables studied were temperature, bio-mass concentration at induction time and the NaCl concentration as inducer. According to the Box-Behnken design, a second order response function was developed. The optimal expression conditions were a temperature of 32.6°C, induction biomass of 0.31 g/L and 0.3 M NaCl in minimal medium. The model prediction for the maximum hIFN-γ production was 77.3 mg/L, which corresponded satisfactorily with the experimental data. The hIFN-γ concentration attained under optimized conditions was 13-times higher than that obtained using the non-optimized conditions. We conclude that RSM is an effective method for the optimization of recombinant protein expression using synthetic genes in E. coli.     

提高重组原动蛋白2表达水平的优化策略

原动蛋白2(PK2)是近年发现的一个具有多种生物学功能的蛋白质因子。采用Design-Expert 7.0.0软件对重组PK2表达的最优诱导条件进行响应面分析。结果表明,诱导起始时机与诱导物浓度是影响重组PK2表达水平的显著性因子。同时,诱导时间-诱导时机、诱导时机-诱导物浓度之间的相互作用对PK2的表达水平具有显著性影响。试验数据拟合与极值分析表明最优诱导条件为:工程菌OD600为0.60时,采用终浓度为0.62 mmol/L的IPTG在37℃诱导培养2.82 h,此时重组PK2的表达水平为170.73 mg/L。优化后的诱导条件导致重组PK2的表达水平提高了51.1%,而所需IPTG减少38.0%,诱导时间缩短53.0%,有利于大量制备重组PK2进行后续功能研究及应用研究。     

Optimization of an extracellular zinc-metalloprotease (SVP2) expression in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) using response surface methodology

In this work, SVP2 from Salinivibrio proteolyticus strain AF-2004, a zinc metalloprotease with suitable biotechnological applications, was cloned for expression at high levels in Escherichia coli with the intention of changing culture conditions to generate a stable extracellular enzyme extract. The complete ORF of SVP2 gene was heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by using pQE-80L expression vector system. In initial step, the effect of seven factors include: incubation temperature, peptone and yeast extract concentration, cell density (OD600) before induction, inducer (IPTG) concentration, induction time, and Ca(2+) ion concentrations on extracellular recombinant SVP2 expression and stability were investigated. The primary results revealed that the IPTG concentration, Ca(2+) ion concentration and induction time are the most important effectors on protease secretion by recombinant E. coli BL21. Central composite design experiment in the following showed that the maximum protease activity (522 U/ml) was achieved in 0.0089 mM IPTG for 24h at 30 °C, an OD600 of 2, 0.5% of peptone and yeast extract, and a Ca(2+) ion concentration of 1.3 mM. The results exhibited that the minimum level of IPTG concentration along with high cell density and medium level of Ca(2+) with prolonged induction time provided the best culture condition for maximum extracellular production of heterologous protease SVP2 in E. coli expression system.     

Optimization of fusion proinsulin production by high cell-density fermentation of recombinantE. coli

The optimum conditions for mass production of fusion proinsulin were studied in recombinantEscherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) [pT7-PI] using fed-batch culture employing pH-stat method. Yeast extract was found to enhance both the growth rate of recombinantE. coli strain BL21 (DE3) [pT7-PI] and its cell mass yield. When the glucose concentration was 10 g/L in the initial medium, 10 g/L concentration of yeast extract was found to be optimal to control the acetate production and to augment both the cell mass yield and the growth rate. Optimum ratio of glucose to yeast extract to minimize the cost of the feeding medium in the fed-batch culture was calculated to be 1.225 and verified by the subsequent experiments. The appropriate inducer concentration and induction time were examined with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Irrespective of the induction time, IPTG induction resulted in the reduction of growth rate, but the expression level of the fusion protein was maintained at the level of about 20% of the total proteins. Since the volumetric productivity was well maintained in the range between 0.15 and 0.18 g/L.hr at the inducer concentration of above 0.025 mM, the appropriate inducer concentration, in relation to the inducer cost, is considered to be about 0.025 mM.     

Enhancement of extracellular bispecific anti‐MUC1 nanobody expression in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by optimization of temperature and carbon sources through an autoinduction condition

Escherichia coli is one of the most suitable hosts for production of antibodies and antibody fragments. Antibody fragment secretion to the culture medium improves product purity in cell culture and diminishes downstream costs. In this study, E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) harboring gene encoding bispecific anti‐MUC1 nanobody was selected, and the autoinduction methodology for expression of bispecific anti‐MUC1 nanobody was investigated. Due to the replacement of IPTG by lactose as inducer, less impurity and toxicity in the final product were observed. To increase both intracellular and extracellular nanobody production, initially, the experiments were performed for the key factors including temperature and duration of protein expression. The highest amount of nanobody was produced after 21 h at 33°C. The effect of different carbon sources, glycerol, glucose, lactose, and glycine as a medium additive at optimum temperature and time were also assessed by using response surface methodology. The optimized concentrations of carbon sources were obtained as 0.75% (w/v), 0.03% (w/v), 0.1% (w/v), and 0.75% (w/v) for glycerol, glucose, lactose, and glycine, respectively. Finally, the production of nanobody in 2 L fermenter under the optimized autoinduction conditions was evaluated. The results show that the total titer of 87.66 µg/mL anti‐MUC1 nanobody, which is approximately seven times more than the total titer of nanobody produced in LB culture medium, is 12.23 µg/L .     

Periplasmic expression and recovery of human interferon gamma in Escherichia coli

A synthetic human interferon gamma (hIFN-gamma) gene was fused to SP1 and SP3, two Sec-dependent artificial signal peptides to transport the hIFN-gamma to the periplasm of Escherichia coli BL21-SI. The processing efficiency of both SP1-hIFN-gamma and SP3-hIFN-gamma was dependent on the culture medium as well as the post-induction temperature. Both precursors were processed completely when cells were cultured using minimal medium and a post-induction temperature of 32.5 degrees C, and only the processed hIFN-gamma was detected. The SP3 signal peptide was more efficient than SP1 for the secretion of hIFN-gamma. Sixty percent of the total hIFN-gamma was secreted to the periplasm using the SP3 signal peptide and a post-induction temperature of 20 degrees C. Using Tris-sucrose-dithiothreitol (TSD) hypertonic buffer, the periplasmic soluble hINF-gamma was recovered with a purity of 85%.

Maximizing production of Penicillium cyclopium partial acylglycerol lipase

Penicillium cyclopium partial acylglycerol lipase production was maximized in shaken batch culture. The effect of inoculum size and substrate concentration on the lipase activity released in the culture medium was visualized using a surface response methodology based on a Doehlert experimental design. The main advantage of this approach is the low number of experiments required to construct a predictive model of the experimental domain. Substrate percentage (corn steep, w/v) ranged from 0.1% to 1.9% and inoculum from 100 spores/ml to 3,200 spores/ml. We determined that an optimal set of experimental conditions for high lipase production was 1.0% substrate and 3,200 spores/ml, with initial pH 5.0, temperature 25 degrees C and shaking speed 120 rpm. Between the conditions giving the minimum and the maximum lipase production, we observed a three-fold increase in both the predicted and the measured values.

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.
