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 41 endogenous secretory SPs, five of them have been used in P. pastoris, and regarded as positive controls; whereas, 36 of them have not been used. Amongst, the predicted cleavage site for each of the 32 endogenous secretory SPs was found to be same by the three programs. The secretory SPs having the highest D-scores, the score quantifying the signal peptide-ness of a given sequence segment, were: MKILSALLLLFTLAFA (D=0.932), MRPVLSLLLLLASSVLA (D=0.932), MFKSLCMLIGSCLLSSVLA (D=0.918). As D-scores of these SPs are higher than that of Saccharomyces cerevisiae a-mating factor signal peptide which has been widely used for r-protein production, they can be considered as the promising candidates. Among the predicted 15 exogenous SPs, 11 have been used in P. pastoris: therefore, they were evaluated as positive controls. The three programs predicted a unique cleavage site for each of the 10 exogenous SPs; and D-scores of these SPs were within D=0.805-0.900; whereas, four exogenous secretory SPs, which have not been used in P. pastoris, have D-scores within D=0.494-0.702.

Endogenous signal peptides in recombinant protein production by Pichia pastoris: From in-silico analysis to fermentation Massahi, Aslan; Çalık, Pınar (2016-11-07) For extracellular recombinant protein production, the efficiency of five endogenous secretion signal peptides (SPs) of Pichia pastoris, SP13 (MLSTILNIFILLLFIQASLQ), SP23 (MKILSALLLLFTLAFA), SP24 (MKVSTTKFLAVFLLVRLVCA), SP26 (MWSLFISGLLIFYPLVLG), SP34 (MRPVLSLLLLLASSVLA), selected based on their D-score which quantifies the signal peptide-ness of a given sequence segment, was investigated using recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) as the model protein. The expression was conducted under glyceraldehyde-3-p...
Design and construction of double promoter systems and their use in pharmaceutical protein production in P. Pastoris Demir, İrem; Çalık, Pınar; Department of Chemical Engineering (2019) Intracellular phenomena such as promoter strength, mRNA secondary structure, translation efficiency and codon preference, 5′-untranslated region processing, and protein turnover, have impacts directly on the expression of heterologous genes. Design of multi-promoter expression systems with constituent strong promoters and engineered promoter variants is a novel metabolic engineering strategy for increasing the promoter strength further, and tuning the expression for recombinant protein (r-protein) productio...
Prediction of protein subcellular localization based on primary sequence data Özarar, Mert; Atalay, Mehmet Volkan; Department of Computer Engineering (2003) Subcellular localization is crucial for determining the functions of proteins. A system called prediction of protein subcellular localization (P2SL) that predicts the subcellular localization of proteins in eukaryotic organisms based on the amino acid content of primary sequences using amino acid order is designed. The approach for prediction is to nd the most frequent motifs for each protein in a given class based on clustering via self organizing maps and then to use these most frequent motifs as features...
Recombinant transglutaminase production by metabolically engineered Pichia pastoris Gündüz, Burcu; Çalık, Pınar; Yılmaz, Remziye; Department of Biotechnology (2012) Transglutaminases (EC 2.3.2.13) are enzymes that catalyze an acyl transfer reaction between a γ-carboxyamide group of a peptide bound glutaminyl residue (acyl donor) and a variety of primary amines (acyl acceptors), including the amino group lysine. Transglutaminase has a potential in obtaining proteins with novel properties, improving nutritional quality of foods with the addition of essential amino acids, preparing heat stable gels, developing rheological properties and mechanical strength of foods and re...
Enhanced recombinant human growth hormone production by synchronous populations of two different strains of pichia pastoris under GAP promoter Hüccetoğulları, Damla; Çalık, Pınar; İnan, Mehmet; Department of Biotechnology (2016) 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 va...
