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 down and production decreased significantly. The addition of Tween-20/80 in existence of co-substrate sorbitol did not affect the bioprocess while in absence of sorbitol Tween alone did not show the same positive effect on product formation and cell growth. Thereafter at T=30°C, without addition of Tween, three sets of pilot scale bioreactor experiments were performed. In the first set, the effect of methanol feeding rate on bioprocess characteristics were investigated at the specific growth rates of μ=0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 h-1. While the highest cell concentration was achieved at μ=0.04 h-1, the highest rhGH concentration was achieved at μ=0.03 h-1. Secondly, conducting methanol feeding at μ=0.03 h-1, pH=5.5 experiment was conducted. The highest cell concentration, 45 g L-1 and maximum rhGH concentration 0.25 g L-1 were achieved at t=18 h of the process. Finally, the effect of batch sorbitol feeding on bioprocess was observed by the addition of 50 g L-1 sorbitol at t=0, 14 and 31 h of the production phase. It was shown that sorbitol addition to the medium increased process duration; hence cells enter stationary phase after a longer production phase. However, the protease concentration continued increasing with respect to time and at the end of the process reached twice the concentration it was obtained with single sorbitol addition case decreasing the rhGH concentration. In selection of the peptide sequence that shows affinity towards hGH, phage display method was conducted. Additionally the sequences from literature and computational design were used as alternatives. The interaction between these peptides and hGH was investigated by isothermal titration calorimetry and surface plasmon resonance.

Effects of ph on human growth hormone production by pichia pastoris considering the expression levels of regulatory genes
Bayraktar, Eda; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2009)
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...
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...
Extracellular recombinant human growth hormone production by pichia pastoris
Orman, Mehmet Ali; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2007)
In this study, the effects of bioprocess operation parameters on recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by P. pastoris were systematically investigated. In this frame, first, for the extracellular expression and purification of human growth hormone by recombinant P. pastoris the cDNA of hGH, fused with a polyhistidine tag and also fused with a target site for the Factor Xa protease in which cleavage produces a mature N- and C- termini of rhGH, was cloned into pPICZαA plasmid and the constructed ...
Dynamic and steady-state analysis of oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane
Karamullaoğlu, Gülsün; Doğu, Timur; Department of Chemical Engineering (2005)
In this research, oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane to ethylene was studied over Cr-O and Cr-V-O mixed oxide catalysts through steady-state and dynamic experiments. The catalysts were prepared by the complexation method. By XRD, presence of Cr2O3 phase in Cr-O; and the small Cr2O3 and V2O4 phases of Cr-V-O were revealed. In H2-TPR, both catalysts showed reduction behaviour. From XPS the likely presence of Cr+6 on fresh Cr-O was found. On Cr-V-O, the possible reduction of V+5 and Cr+6 forms of the fresh sa...
Bioreaction network flux analysis for human protein producing Bacillus subtilis based on genome-scale model
ÖZDAMAR, HASAN TUNÇER; Senturk, Birguel; YILMAZ, OĞUZ; KOCABAŞ, PINAR; Calik, Guezide; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2010-01-01)
To interpret the effect of human protein gene, e.g., human growth hormone gene hGH, on the intracellular bioreaction network of Bacillus subtilis, the intracellular reaction fluxes were calculated by solving the mass-balance-based genome-scale mathematical model, at pseudo-steady state by using bioreactor data. The bioreaction network consists of 1340 reactions including 990 metabolites. Reaction fluxes in B. subtilis carrying pMK4::pre(subC)::hGH (rBsHGH) and B. subtilis carrying merely pMK4 (rBsP) were ca...
