Fusion partners to the recombinant protein Maltose binding protein (MBP) Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) Small ubiquitin-modifier (SUMO) N-utilization substrate (NusA) Thioredoxin
Pichia pastoris vs Saccharomyces cerevisiae Advantages P. pastoris and S. cerevisiae Short doubling time Readily manipulated genome Improved folding and post-translational modification Expression of similar genes and compatible vectors Better yield of recombinant protein (higher cell density) Methylotrophic yeast (methanol as its only carbon source) Strongly methanol induced promoters (alcohol oxidase genes: AOX1 and AOX2) Optimal growth pH 3.0-7.0 Extremely low levels of endogenous protein secretion Expression vectors integrated in the genome Disulfide bond formation and glycosylation modifications P. pastoris S. cerevisiae
Expression on mammalian cells All posttranslational modifications Highest folding capacity (antibodies…) Secreted recombinant proteins for an easier purification rather than intracellular production Lowest yield Transfection more complex than plasmid transformation Stable or transient transfection (takes longer to obtain stable transformants)
Protein expression systems summary Advantages Disadvantages Fastest expression method (days) Inexpensive bioproduction media and high density biomass Simple process scale-up Well characterized genetics Limited posttranslational modifications Unsoluble proteins and not correctly folded Bacteria Rapid expression method (weeks) Inexpensive bioproduction media and high density biomass Most posttranslational modifications High folding capacity N-linked glycan structures different from mammalian forms Yeast Transient-transfection Moderate rapid expression method (weeks) All posttranslational modifications and high folding capacity Low density biomass and expensive bioproduction media Difficult process scale-up Mammalian Stable-transfection All posttranslational modifications and high folding capacity Low density biomass and expensive bioproduction media Difficult process scale-up Longest expression method (months) Mammalian
