Expression of recombinant protein encoded by LOC387715 in Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: LOC387715 is a hypothetical gene located on human chromosome 10q26.13 that is associated with the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The native open reading frame (ORF) of LOC387715 cDNA - LOC387715(ORF), contains a large number of Escherichia coli (E. coli) rare codons (RC) including 5.6% and 15.0% Group-I and IIa translational problem causative (TPC) RCs, respectively, which forms 3 and 4 simple E. coli rare codon clusters (RCC) where RCs are spaced by 1 and 2 respective non-TPC codons and one complex E. coli RCC where RCs and RCCs are spaced by <5 non-TPC codons. We modified the entire 35 E. coli RCs (6, 16 and 13 Group I, IIa and IIb RCs, respectively) present in LOC387715(ORF) with their optimal or sub-optimal synonymous degenerate codons, and the resulted LOC387715(ORF)m was free from Shine-Dalgarno-like sequence (SDLS) and ribosome binding site complementary sequence (RBSCS). SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis demonstrated that LOC387715(ORF)m was capable of highly expressing the recombinant protein rLOC387715 in E. coli. Mass spectrometry analysis indicated that the bacterial expressed rLOC387715 contained the correct and expected amino acid (aa) sequence without aa misincorporation, aa missing or frame-shift. The results suggest that high and authentic expression of LOC387715 recombinant protein in E. coli was achieved by the synonymous modification of its native ORF cDNA sequence for all the 3 groups of bacterial RCs and the simultaneous elimination of SDLS and RBSCS sequences.

Project description:The goal of bacterial engineering is to rewire metabolic pathways to generate high-value molecules for various applications. However, the production of recombinant proteins is constrained by the complexity of the connections between cellular physiology and recombinant protein synthesis. Here, we used a rational and highly efficient approach to improve bacterial engineering. Based on the complete genome and annotation information of the Escherichia coli ER2566 strain, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of the strain under leaky expression and low temperature-induced stress. Combining the gene ontology (GO) enrichment terms and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with higher expression, we selected and knocked out 36 genes to determine the potential impact of these genes on protein production. Deletion of bluF, cydA, mngR, and udp led to a significant decrease in soluble recombinant protein production. Moreover, at low-temperature induction, 4 DEGs (gntK, flgH, flgK, flgL) were associated with enhanced expression of the recombinant protein. Knocking out several motility-related DEGs (ER2666-ΔflgH-ΔflgL-ΔflgK) simultaneously improved the protein yield by 1.5-fold at 24 °C induction, and the recombinant strain had the potential to be applied in the expression studies of different exogenous proteins, aiming to improve the yields of soluble form to varying degrees in comparison to the ER2566 strain. Totally, this study focused on the anabolic and stress-responsive hub genes of the adaptation of E. coli to recombinant protein overexpression on the transcriptome level and constructs a series of engineering strains increasing the soluble protein yield of recombinant proteins which lays a solid foundation for the engineering of bacterial strains for recombinant technological advances. KEY POINTS: • Comparative transcriptome analysis shows host responses with altered induction stress. • Deletion of bluF, cydA, mngR, and udp genes was identified to significantly decrease the soluble recombinant protein productions. • Synchronal knockout of flagellar genes in E. coli can enhance recombinant protein yield up to ~ 1.5-fold at 24 °C induction. • Non-model bacterial strains can be re-engineered for recombinant protein expression.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Anaerobic-inducible promoters are alternatives of chemical-inducible promoters for expression of recombinant proteins especially in conditions where chemical induction is not possible or anaerobic conditions are preferable. The nirB promoter is the promoter of the first gene of nir operon in Escherichia coli, which encodes NADH-dependent nitrite reductase. This promoter is naturally induced under anaerobic conditions and upregulated by nitrite and nitrate. OBJECTIVES:The current study was carried out to construct a synthetic nirB promoter that does not respond to chemical inducers (nitrite or nitrate), but instead responds to anaerobic induction. For this purpose, a new plasmid was constructed (pFSnirB78-23LTB), which contains a synthetic nirB promoter. The activity of this plasmid was evaluated in E. coli under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and in response to chemical inducers, nitrite and nitrate. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A synthetic nirB promoter was firstly cloned into a pKK223 derivative plasmid and then the heat labile toxin B subunit gene (LTB) of entrotoxigenic E. coli was cloned under the control of this promoter. The inducibility of this plasmid in E. coli was measured under anaerobic conditions in the presence or absence of nitrite or nitrate by ganglioside GM1 ELISA. RESULTS:Our data showed that this promoter is strongly induced under anaerobic conditions while it showed much lower activity (11%) under aerobic conditions. In contrast to the native promoter, this promoter was not induced by chemical inducers, nitrite or nitrate. CONCLUSIONS:This study showed that the recombinant protein produced under the control of synthetic nirB promoter has critical characteristics such as pentamer formation, receptor recognition ability and conservation of antigenic epitopes. In addition, the data showed anaerobiosis and chemical inducers had no adverse effects on recombinant proteins. Based on the results, this synthetic promoter is suitable for use in live delivery vaccines or drug systems and for production of recombinant proteins especially oxygen sensitive proteins.
