The yeast Pichia (Komagataella) pastoris has become a potential host system for recombinant protein (r-protein) production. Several strong inducible and constitutive promoters have been identified in P. pastoris which make the host ideal in r-protein expressions. The constitutive promoter of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene. P-GAp, is promising as its use offers the advantage of associating product quantity to growth which can be optimized by a well-designed feeding strategy so long as the product itself is not toxic to the host. In this article, carbon source metabolism and the central carbon pathways of P. pastoris are reviewed. After comparing P-GAp with the available promoters of P. pastoris, the bioreactor operation parameters and bioreactor operation strategies are analyzed for r-protein production under P-GAp by focusing on response of the cells, final product concentration, yield, and productivity. The overview of the subject reveals the requirement for in-depth information on the overall regulation of P. pastoris metabolism that can enable fine-tuning bioreactor operation parameters in relation with the physiology of the microorganism in order to develop new strategies for the enhanced r-protein production.

Differential expression of genes possibly involved in incompatible interaction between barley and powdery mildew
ERSOY, FİGEN; Ridout, Christopher J.; Akkaya, Mahinur (2011-09-01)
The various domains of a plant disease resistance protein from wheat were found to be interacting with yeast proteins when screened via yeast two hybrid analyses. These genes are considered to play roles in disease resistance response. Thus, the expression levels in Mla3 mediated Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis f.sp. hordei, Bgh) disease resistance in barley were determined. The barley homologs of ARD1, CPR7, CSE1, GCN2 and SRP72, were partially cloned and sequenced. Their differential expression was conf...
Analyses of extracellular protein production in Bacillus subtilis - II: Responses of reaction network to oxygen transfer at transcriptional level
KOCABAŞ, PINAR; ÇALIK GARCİA, GÜZİDE; Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, Tuncer H. (Elsevier BV, 2017-11-15)
Oxygen transfer influences intracellular fluxes which are orchestrated by genome and its transcription in Bacillus subtilis throughout fermentation in recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) production. Responses of B. subtilis reaction network to oxygen transfer were analysed at transcriptional level with determined transcriptome and calculated intracellular fluxes by the reconstructed genome scale model iBsu1144(rhGH) based on updated gene-enzyme-reaction data. iBsu1144(rhGH) employing 1067 reactions link...
Enhanced recombinant human erythropoietin production by Pichia pastoris in methanol fed-batch/sorbitol batch fermentation through pH optimization
Soyaslan, Elif Sukran; Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-15)
The effects of pH on recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris was investigated at pH = 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0, where sorbitol and methanol were supplied to the bioreactor in batch and fed-batch mode, respectively, in the recombinant protein production phase (PP). For the first three phases, glycerol batch (GB), glycerol fed-batch (GFB) and methanol transition (MT), the growth profiles were almost the same for pH >= 5.0; however, at pH < 5.0 the growth rate was lower. The h...
QCM-based DNA biosensor for detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
Karamollaoglu, Irem; Oektem, Hueseyin Avni; Mutlu, Mehmet Kayhan (Elsevier BV, 2009-05-15)
Development of a mass sensitive quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based DNA biosensor for the detection of the hybridization of CaMV 35S promoter sequence (P35S) was investigated for the screening of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Attention was focused on the choice of the coating chemistry that could be used for the immobilization of probe sequences on the gold surface of the quartz crystal. Two immobilization procedures were tested and compared considering the amount of the immobilized P35S probe ...
Carbon sources affect metabolic capacities of Bacillus species for the production of industrial enzymes: theoretical analyses for serine and neutral proteases and alpha-amylase
Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2001-07-01)
The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways were calculated for the genus Bacillus separately for the enzymes serine alkaline protease (SAP), neutral protease (NP) and alpha -amylase (AMY) on five carbon sources that have different reduction degrees (gamma), to determine the theoretical ultimate limits of the production capacities of Bacillus species and to predict the selective substrate for the media design. Glucose (gamma = 4.0), acetate (gamma = 4.0), and the TCA cycle organic-acids succina...
