In this study, the aim was to investigate the effects of pH on therapeutically important protein, recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH), production by Pichia pastoris considering the expression levels of regulatory genes. In this frame, firstly the host microorganism was selected between two different methanol utilization phenotypes of P. pastoris, Mut+ and MutS on media containing glycerol/methanol or sorbitol/methanol. The highest rhGH production, 120 g L-1, and hGH gene expression, 9.84x109 copies mg-1 CDW, were achieved in the medium containing 30 g L-1 sorbitol and 1% (v/v) methanol by P. pastoris hGH-Mut+ strain. Thereafter, effects of pH on rhGH production and stability were investigated in laboratory scale bioreactors. RhGH was more stable at pH 5.0. Throughout the production, it is seen that medium of pH decreased. Thereafter, effects of pH on rhGH were investigated in pH controlled pilot-scale bioreactor. In addition to rhGH concentration, AOX intracellular enzyme activity, extracellular proteases concentrations; expression levels of hGH, AOX, pep4, prb1 and prc1 genes were determined. The highest cell concentration was obtained as 53 g L-1 at pH 6.0 but hGH concentration was found as 24 mg L-1 at t=24 h. The highest rhGH concentration was obtained as 271 g L-1 with 42 g L-1 cell density at pH 5.0 in medium containing sorbitol at t=24 h. At this condition, the overall product and cell yield on total substrate were found as 2.08 mg g-1 and 0.15 g g-1. Furthermore, the highest expression levels of hGH and AOX were attained at pH 5.0. Moreover, by keeping pH at 5.0, expression levels of three types of vacuolar proteases were minimized.

Effect of pH on erythropoietin production by recombinant Pichia pastoris in fed-batch operation
Soyaslan, Elif Şükran; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
In this study, the effects of pH on therapeutically important protein, recombinant human erythropoietin (rhuEPO), production by Pichia pastoris was investigated at pH=4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0. rHuEPO production was started by methanol induction in fed-batch mode. The highest cell concentration was obtained at pH=4.5 as 81.4 g L-1. The co-substrate substrate sorbitol, which was added batch-wise, was consumed at t=15 h of the operations at pH=4.0, 4.5 and 5.0. However as the pH increases above pH=5.0 the so...
Recombinant human growth hormone production by pichia pastoris and determination of its interaction with peptide ligands
İnankur, Bahar; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2010)
In this study, the aim was to achieve high concentration of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by recombinant Pichia pastoris by investigating the effects of various operation parameters and to determine the suitable peptide ligand sequence that shows affinity and specificity to hGH. In this context, firstly the effect of temperature and Tween-20/80 addition on production and cell growth were investigated. While at T=30 and 32°C, there was no difference, at 27 and 25°C cell growth slowed dow...
Effects of carbon sources and feeding strategies on human growth hormone production by metabolically engineered pichia pastoris
Açık, Eda; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009)
In this study, effects of different carbon sources and their feeding strategies on recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris were investigated by means of cell growth, recombinant protein production and expression levels of hGH and alcohol oxidase (AOX) genes. In this content, firstly, the strain to be used for high level rhGH production was selected between the two phenotypes, i.e., P. pastoris hGH-Mut+ and P. pastoris hGH-MutS. In this selection both phenotypes were compared in...
