Cell cycle synchronization used as a common procedure for understanding various genomic and metabolic phenomena in a cell is also an essential tool to optimize the production of biomolecules. In this work, the effect of cell cycle synchronization on the recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris under glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) promoter was investigated. Starvation as a cost effective and readily applicable synchronization method was performed to investigate various cell cultures at age of OD600 = 4, 8, and 16 to determine the most productive strategy. Thus, two different experimental setups were used, one of which was in air-filtered shake bioreactor cultures to consider the impact of semi-defined and complex pre-cultivation media on the efficiency of starvation concerned with the cell morphology and budding index. The second setup, a 3.0 L-bioreactor, was used to compare the recombinant protein (r-protein) productions in both synchronous and asynchronous populations grown to OD600 = 4, 8, and 16 by using exponential glucose feeding with pre-determined specific growth rate of μ0 = 0.10 h-1. The highest rhGH concentration was obtained from synchronous cell population at age of OD600 = 16 as CrhGH = 570 mg L-1 at t = 15 h where the cell concentration was CX = 100 g L-1. The overall product and cell yield on total substrate were obtained as Y’P/S = 2.06 mg g-1 and Y’X/S = 0.13 g g-1, respectively. We conclude that, this work demonstrates the impact of using aged synchronous populations of P. pastoris in r-protein production and paves the way for the design of the starvation based fed-batch operations to increase r-protein production by P. pastoris.

Evaluating Oxygen Tensions Related to Bone Marrow and Matrix for MSC Differentiation in 2D and 3D Biomimetic Lamellar Scaffolds
Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Mudera, Vivek; Cheema, Umber; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2021-04-01)
The physiological O-2 microenvironment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts and the dimensionality of a substrate are known to be important in regulating cell phenotype and function. By providing the physiologically normoxic environments of bone marrow (5%) and matrix (12%), we assessed their potential to maintain stemness, induce osteogenic differentiation, and enhance the material properties in the micropatterned collagen/silk fibroin scaffolds that were produced in 2D or 3D. Expression of ost...
In-silico determination of Pichia pastoris signal peptides for extracellular recombinant protein production
Massahi, Aslan; Çalık, Pınar (2015-01-07)
In-silico identified novel secretory signal peptides (SPs) are required in vivo to achieve efficient transfer or to prevent other cellular proteins from interfering with the process in extracellular recombinant protein (r-protein) production. 56 endogenous and exogenous secretory SPs, have been used or having the potential to be used in Pichia pastoris for r-protein secretion, were analyzed in-silico using the softwares namely SignalP4.1, Phobius, WolfPsort0.2, ProP1.0, and NetNGlyc1.0. Among the predicted ...
Enhanced antimicrobial activity of volatile thymol molecules encapsulated in hierarchical titanosilicates
Binay, Melda Isler; KART, DİDEM; Akata Kurç, Burcu (2022-10-01)
Realizing higher loading and extended-release time of bulkier molecules for enhanced antibacterial activity can be a challenge, which is highly dependent on the pore characteristics of the network used for their encapsulation. This study highlights that the hierarchical microporous Engelhard titanosilicate ETS-10 crystals support a higher amount of thymol encapsulation to allow long-term thymol release and higher antimicrobial activity. In this study, post-synthesis treatment of ETS-10 was performed with H2...
The influence of elastin-like recombinant polymer on the self-renewing potential of a 3D tissue equivalent derived from human lamina propria fibroblasts and oral epithelial cells
Kinikoglu, Beste; Carlos Rodriguez-Cabello, Jose; Damour, Odile; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2011-09-01)
Three-dimensional epithelial tissue equivalents tend to lose their self-renewing potential progressively during culture as their epithelial cells lose their proliferative capacity with time. Even though the tissue engineered construct can mimic the native tissue well, it rapidly degrades after implantation due to the insufficient number of proliferating cells in the equivalent. In the present study we demonstrate for the first time that the use of an elastin-like recombinant polymer (ELR) engineered to cont...
Defined and complex medium based feeding strategy development for recombinant human growth hormone production by P. pastoris under GAP promoter
Hoxha, Bebeta; Çalık, Pınar; Özdamar, Tunçer H.; Department of Chemical Engineering (2016)
The objective of this study is to investigate different feeding strategies leading to higher recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production by Pichia pastoris, driven under constitutive promoter of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. rhGH production took place in a pilot bioreactor where glucose and molasses were examined as carbon sources. For batch phase, which is the first production phase of the reactor, all experiments share the same characteristics where glycerol was utilized as the...
