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) production with enhanced production and productivity in the yeast P. pastoris. Double-promoter expression systems (DPESs) carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) and red fluorescent protein (mApple) genes were designed and constructed for the synthesis of the heterologous model proteins mApple and eGFP in order to determine and justify the expression period of each promoter that can be either simultaneously, or by consecutively stimulating the changeover from one to another in a biphasic process or via successive-iterations in methanol-free v vi media, on glucose, glycerol or ethanol. A library of expression cassettes was designed with single naturally occurring promoters (NOPs) and novel-engineered promoter variants (NEPVs) having distinct regulatory properties: i) a NEPV of alcohol dehydrogenase1 gene (ADH1), ii) a NEPV of alcohol oxidase 1 gene (AOX1), and iii) PGAP; and P. pastoris DPESs have been constructed as separate expression cassettes. Novel P. pastoris strains were constructed with the DPESs and tested in the fed-batch phase of the fermentation of the carbon sources 2% (v/v) ethanol, excess glucose, and excess glycerol. P. pastoris DPESs having double expression cassettes each having a different antibiotic resistance gene were constructed, denoted by; i) pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pGAP::eGFP, ii) pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pmAOX1::eGFP, iii)pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple, iv) pGAP::eGFP andpGAP::eGFP v) pmAOX1::eGFP and pmAOX1::eGFP. The proteins mApple and eGFP were expressed in the novel P. pastoris strains constructed with: i) pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pGAP::eGFP consecutively and also simultaneously; ii) pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pmAOX1::eGFP bifunctionally and simultaneously; iii)pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple and pADH2-Cat8-L2::mApple; iv) GAP::eGFP andpGAP::eGFP; v) pmAOX1::eGFP and pmAOX1::eGFP simultaneously as identical-twin promoters. PADH2-Cat8-L2+mAOX1DPES increased the production capacity on ethanol 2.1-fold compared to that with the single NEPVs PADH2-Cat8-L2 and PmAOX1, respectively. With PADH2-Cat8-L2+mAOX1, the expression increased to 1.3-fold on ethanol compared to that with identical-twin promoters. With simultaneously-operating PADH2-Cat8-L2+mAOX1 the expression was 1.6-fold higher than the consecutively-operating PADH2-Cat8-L2+GAP vii on ethanol. Strength of the DPESs were tested in fermentations for extracellular human growth hormone (rhGH) production. Secreted rhGH yields (YP/X, mg/gDW) by novel P. pastoris strains constructed with PADH2-Cat8-L2, PmAOX1, PGAP, PADH2-Cat8-L2+mAOX1, PADH2-Cat8-L2+GAP, and PADH2-Cat8-L2+ADH2-Cat8-L2 were as 2.95, 3.00, 0.13, 4.86, 3.73 and 4.21 mg/g at t = 48 h of the fermentations on ethanol, respectively.

Engineering of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 hybrid-promoter architectures in Pichia pastoris to enhance recombinant protein expression on ethanol
Ergun, Burcu Gunduz; Gasser, Brigitte; Mattanovich, Diethard; Çalık, Pınar (2019-07-09)
The aim of this work is to increase recombinant protein expression in Pichia pastoris over the ethanol utilization pathway under novel-engineered promoter variants (NEPVs) of alcohol dehydrogenase 2 promoter (P-ADH2) through the generation of novel regulatory circuits. The NEPVs were designed by engineering of transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) determined by in silico analyses and manual curation systematically, by (a) single-handedly replacement of specified TFBSs with synthetic motifs for Mxr1, Ca...
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...
Exploring encapsulation mechanism of DNA and mononucleotides in sol-gel derived silica
KAPUSUZ, DERYA; Durucan, Caner (2017-07-01)
The encapsulation mechanism of DNA in sol-gel derived silica has been explored in order to elucidate the effect of DNA conformation on encapsulation and to identify the nature of chemical/physical interaction of DNA with silica during and after sol-gel transition. In this respect, double stranded DNA and dAMP (2-deoxyadenosine 5-monophosphate) were encapsulated in silica using an alkoxide-based sol-gel route. Biomolecule-encapsulating gels have been characterized using UV-Vis, Si-29 NMR, FTIR spectroscopy a...
Hybrid-architectured double-promoter expression systems enhance and upregulate-deregulated gene expressions in Pichia pastoris in methanol-free media
Demir, Irem; Çalık, Pınar (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-10-01)
Double-promoter expression system (DPES) design as de novo metabolic engineering strategy enables fine-tuned and enhanced gene expression. We constructed a collection of monodirectional hybrid-architectured DPESs with engineered promoter variants P(ADH2-Cat8-L2)and P(mAOX1)and with the naturally occurring promoter P(GAP)to enhance and upregulate-deregulated gene expressions inPichia pastorisin methanol-free media. Reporter red fluorescent protein (mApple) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) were e...
Design of a sequence based miRNA clustering method; analysis of fungal miRNAs and host organism target genes
Narcı, Kübra; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Oğul, Hasan; Department of Bioinformatics (2014)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules which contain 21-25 nucleotides, and function in post transcriptional regulation by inhibiting the translation of mRNA targets. miRNAs typically affect gene regulation by forming composite feed forward circuits (cFFCs) which also comprise a transcription factor (TF) and a target gene. By analyzing these cFFCs, the contribution of miRNAs in altering TF networks can be revealed. These contributions could either be the de-escalation of the target gene repertoire or ...
