Gene Expression
15 Transcriptional start Translational start
-
16 Gene copy number: 1. Plasmid copy number: The copy-number of a plasmid in the cell is determined by regulating the initiation of plasmid replication. The initiation of plasmid replication may be controlled by: the amount of available primer (RNA) the amount of essential replication proteins the function of essential replication proteins. 2. Gene dosage -> number of genes integrated into chromosome - prokaryotic systems -> i.e. Transposons, phages, recombinantion - mainly eukaryotic systems
-
17 Incompatibility of plasmids: Not all plasmids are able to coexist in the same cell. Plasmids which have the same replication control functions are incompatible, and are assigned to the same incompatibility group (inc group). Plasmids of one incompatibility group are related to each other, but cannot survive together in the same bacterial cell, as only different kinds of plasmids are compatible. Ensures that we can make libraries -> just one plasmid taken up by one cell

Protein expression in prokaryotic systems
19 www.qiagen.com So, this new story would be about vectors again. Bacterial expression vectors have some distinct features: Inducible promoter systems; Protein fusions including fused tags;
-
General advices for one who wants to produce gene expression in prokaryotes
20 1. Do not forget to cut out the intron 2. Check orientation of insert 3. Do fusions with something In-frame Most obvious and common mistakes: 4. No Post-translation modification = no product activity
-
Introns
21 www.wzw.tum.de/gene-quantification/ mrna.html Not an issue when you clone a cDNA
-
Orientation of insert (could go backward, if cloned with same-type sticky ends) – use incompatible sticky ends

Fusion proteins.
23 When expressing a fusion proteins, ensure that both of them are in the same reading frame www.bch.bris.ac.uk/staff/ pfdg/ teaching/genes.htm

PostTranslational modification
24 Eukaryotic cells have Golgi system Prokaryotic cells do not have it nucleus Golgi

Efficiency of expression in E.coli
25 Dependent of: 1. Type of transcription promoter and terminator 2. Affinity of mRNA and prokaryotic ribosome 3. Amount of copies of transgene and its localization (chromosome or plasmid) 4. Cellular localisation of the protein end-product 5. Efficiency of translation in the host organism 6. Stability of protein product in the host organism Systems could be optimized on gene to gene basis. No universal strategy possible

Factors affecting transcription
26 Promoters (including regulated ones) PROKARYOTIC!!!! 2. Terminators PROKARYOTIC!!!!
-
Variations between prokaryotic promoters are minimal

Factors affecting translation
28 1. Ribosome binding site (RBS) 2. Codon bias 3. Stability of the transcript

Codon Usage in E. coli & humans
30
-
Codon Optimization Strategies
31 Chemically synthesize new gene Alter sequence of the gene of interest to match donor codons to the codons most frequently used in host organism Express in different host choose host with better matching codon usage Use an engineered host cell that overexpresses low abundance tRNAs
-
Commercial E. coli strains encode for a number of the rare codon genes
32 AGG/AGA (arginine), CGG (arginine), AUA (isoleucine) CUA (leucine)CCC (proline), and GGA (glycine) (AT-rich compatible) Rosetta or Rosetta (DE3) arginine (AGG, AGA) and proline (CCC) BL21 (DE3) CodonPlus-RP (GC-rich compatible) arginine (AGG, AGA), isoleucine (AUA) and leucine (CUA) BL21 (DE3) CodonPlus-RIL (AT-rich compatible)

Factors affecting protein stability
34 Overall level of protease activity in bacterial cells 2. N-terminal amino acid affects protein half-life 3. Internal regions containing clusters of certain amino acids can increase proteolysis P prolineE glutamic acidS serineT threonine …. Mutate PEST aminoacids….
-
Protease-deficient host strains
35 BL21, the work horse of E. coli expression, is deficient in two proteases encoded by the lon (cytoplasmic) and ompT (periplasmic) genes. It is dangerous to kill proteases, it makes E.coli grow much slowly as proteases needed for proper metabolism
-
Inducible bacterial promoters
36 Why not to use constitutive, always strong promoter? Induction Because recombinant (alien) protein is often toxic for bacterial cell. Bacteria tend to expel harmful plasmids Bacterial grow takes time….
-
BL(DE3) inducible system and pET vectors (invented in 1984 by Bill Studier, on sale by Novagen)
37 1) T7 RNA polymerase gene is integrated in chromosome under the control of a lac promoter and operator 2) lactose analogue, IPTG, causes the host to produce T7 RNA polymerase 3) The E. coli host genome also carries the lacI (repressor) gene pET23 Gene of interest is expressed from strong T7 promoter
-
Why repressor gene and gene of interest are expressed from different DNA molecules?
38 Repressor gene expressed from chromosome; Gene of Interest expressed from plasmid If too high repressor no transcription (you need to increase expensive IPTG) If too low repressor promoter is leaky (active without IPTG) Repressor is in chromosome, because there it is best kept controlled there (no plasmid loss, not too high expression)
-
Where your expressed protein will be located?
39 Inclusion bodies (insoluble) Cytoplasm (soluble) Periplasmatic space (soluble or insoluble) Secreted (!!) E.Coli can not do that
-
1. Inclusion bodies (most common case)
40 -- Inclusion bodies are formed through the accumulation of folding intermediates rather than from the native or unfolded proteins. -- It is not possible to predict which proteins will be produced as inclusion bodies. -- Production of inclusion bodies not dependent on the origin of protein, the used promoters, the hydrophobicity of target proteins...

-
Good side of inclusion bodies
42 inclusion bodies can be accumulated in the cytoplasm to much higher level (greater than 25%) than production as soluble form; 2) inclusion bodies is initially isolated in a highly purified, solid, and concentrated state by simple physical operation (centrifugation). 3) inclusion bodies have no biological activity. For toxic proteins it may be the only one available; 4) inclusion bodies areresistant to proteolysis That results in the high yield of protein production.

-
Recovery of proteins from inclusion bodies
44 Is not a straightforward process, but road of trials and errors Solubilization Refolding Choice of solubilizing agents, e.g., urea, guanidine HCl, or detergents, plays a key role in solubilization efficiency -- Refolding is initiated by reducing concentration of denaturant used to solubilize IBs. Guandinium -- Refolding competes with other reactions, such as misfolding and aggregation (both are leading to bad results) -- Chaperones are helpful in refolding (including chemical chaperones)

Question of questions – how to purify your protein?
45
-
Diversity of proteins could be exploited
46 Columnchromatography Matrix particles usually packed in the column in the form of small beads. A protein purification strategy might employ in turn each of the three kinds of matrix described below, with a final protein purification Of up to 10,000-fold. Essential Cell Biology: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of the Cell
-
Column chromatography
47 Different proteins are retarded to different extents by their interaction with the matrix, they can be collected separately as they flow out from the bottom. According to the choice of matrix, proteins can be separated according to -- their charge, -- their hydrophobicity, -- their size, -- their ability to bind to particular chemical groups (!!) Essential Cell Biology: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of the Cell
-
(A) ION-EXCHANGE CHROMATOGRAPHY
48 Ion-exchange columns are packed with small beads that carry positive or negative charges retarding proteins of the opposite charge. The association between a protein and the matrix depends on the pH and ionic strength of the solution passing down the column. These can be varied in a controlled way to achieve an effective separation. Essential Cell Biology: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of the Cell
-
(B) GEL-FILTRATION CHROMATOGRAPHY
49 Gel-filtration columns separate proteins according to their size on tiny porous beads. Protein molecules that are small enough to enter the holes in the beads are delayed and travel more slowly through the column. Proteins that cannot enter the beads are washed out of the column first. Such columns also allow an estimate of protein size. Essential Cell Biology: An Introduction to the Molecular Biology of the Cell
-
(C) AFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY
50 Affinity columns contain a matrix covalently coupled to a molecule that interacts specifically with the protein of interest (e.g., an antibody, or an enzyme substrate). Proteins that bind specifically to such a column can finally be released by a pH change or by concentrated salt solutions, and they emerge highly purified.

Fusion proteins
53 increase production level facilitate purification (taq) detection of expression (GFP fusion) Redirection of proteins (secretion -> signal peptidases) Surface display (for screening of libraries) Tandem arrays (for small peptides, toxic proteins,..)
-
Most widely used purification strategy – to produce your protein as a fusionwith something easily purifyable
54 (Invitrogen, Life Technologies, Novagen, QIAGEN): 6xHIS Tag 1. This small addition rarely affects protein structure to a significant degree 2. Interaction so strong, it tolerates denaturing conditions (could be used for inclusion bodies purification)
-
Histidine: a charged aminoacid
55 The affinity of this interaction is very high which allows protein purification to 95% in a single step. Stretch of six histidine residues interacts with nickel ion that is tightly bound to a NTA matrix Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) matrix Histidine
-
GST – fusion. Principle is the same. Binds to glutation
56
-
57 Require strong binding to glutathione GSTs function catalytically to conjugate glutathione (GSH) with a wide variety of electrophilic substrates
-
Glutathione
58 GST from Schistosoma japonicum 1) Keeps fusion proteins soluble 2) Used for fusion purification 3) Used for protein detection with GST antibody 26 kDa tag

Bacillus
72 In 1872, Ferdinand Cohn, a student of Robert Koch, recognized and named the bacterium Bacillus subtilis. The organism was made to represent a large and diverse genus of Bacteria, Bacillus, and was placed in the family Bacillaceae. The family's distinguishing feature is the production of endospores, which are highly refractile resting structures formed within the bacterial cells. Since this time, members of the genus Bacillus are characterized as Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic or facultative, endospore-forming bacteria. Flagellar stains of various species of Bacillus from CDC

73 Antibiotic Producers: B. brevis (e.g. gramicidin, tyrothricin), B. cereus (e.g. cerexin, zwittermicin), B. circulans (e.g. circulin), B. laterosporus (e.g. laterosporin), B. licheniformis (e.g. bacitracin), B. polymyxa (e.g. polymyxin, colistin), B. pumilus (e.g. pumulin) B. subtilis (e.g. polymyxin, difficidin, subtilin, mycobacillin). Pathogens of Insects: B. larvae, B. lentimorbis, and B. popilliae are invasive pathogens. B. thuringiensis forms a parasporal crystal that is toxic to beetles. Pathogens of Animals: B. anthracis, and B. cereus. B. alvei, B. megaterium, B. coagulans, B. laterosporus, B. subtilis, B. sphaericus, B. circulans, B. brevis, B. licheniformis, B. macerans, B. pumilus, and B. thuringiensis have been isolated from human infections. The Genus Bacillus includes two bacteria of significant medical importance, B. anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, and B. cereus, which causes food poisoning. Nonanthrax Bacillus species can also cause a wide variety of other infections, and they are being recognized with increasing frequency as pathogens in humans.
-
74 Bacillus strains used as production organisms: - B. subtilis - B. brevis - B. licheniformis Transformation systems: - via competent cells (during transition from vegetative cells -> sporulation, cell can take up DNA (ss) when population reaches a metabolic state called competence) - protoplast - bacteriophage-mediated transduction Vectors: - replicating plasmids (pUB110, pE194, pC194, pHP13, shuttle vectors) -> replicating plasmids with temperature-sensitive origin of replication (replication stops above certain temp. -> pE194 stops above 45ºC) - integrative vectors (normally shuttle vectors) Promoters: - aprE promoter -> induction with onset of sporulation - amylase promoter -> growth-phase and nutrition regulated promoter (induction at end of exponential growth + repression by glucose) - sacB promoter (levansurase) -> not regulated - spac promoter -> hybrid promoter (subtilis phage + lac operator) -> induction with IPTG

Expression in S. cerevisiae – Pichia pastoris
85 Problems with production in S. cerevisiae: For some proteins production level low Hyperglycosylation (more than 100 mannose residues in N-glycosylation) Sometimes secretion not good -> protein stack in cells (periplasma) S. cerevisiae produces high amount of EtOH -> toxic for the cells -> effects level of production Advantages of production in Pichia pastoris: Highly efficient promoter, tightly regulated (alcohol oxidase -> AOX, induced by MeOH) Produces no EtOH -> very high cell density -> secretion very efficient Secretes very few proteins -> simplification of purification of secreted proteins

Expression in Insect cells
89 Baculovirus: -> infects invertebrates (insects) -> in infection cycle 2 forms of baculovirus are formed: -> single virus particle -> in protein matrix (polyhedron) trapped clusters of viruses -> during late stage of infection massive amount of polyhedron produced -> strong promoter -> polyhedron not required for virus production -> polyhedron promoter optimal for heterologous protein production in insect cells
-
90 Baculovirus: -> Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) many used as expression vector -> Production of recombinant baculovirus: 1. create a transfer vector (E. coli based plasmid with AcMNPV DNA – polyhedrin promoter/terminator + flanking sequences) -> gene of interest cloned downstream of promoter 2. Insect cells are cotransfected with virus (AcMNPV) + transfer vector -> in some double infected cells -> double crossover event (recombination) -> produce recombinant virus (bacmid -> E. coli - insect cell baculovirus shuttle vector) -> cells infected with recombinant virus -> produce plaques (lack of polyhedrin) 3. DNA hydridisation + PCR used to identify recombinant virus 4. Infection of insect cells with concentrated stock of verified recombinant virus -> 4-5 days later protein harvested

92 Why this system? Insect cells have almost the same posttranslational modifications as mammalian cells Higher expression level than mammalian cells

Mammalian cell expression system
93 1. Why do we use that system? -> to get full complement of posttranslational modifications on proteins 2. Developed cell lines: -> short term (transient) expression -> autonomous replicating systems -> viral origins (SV40) - African green monkey kidney (COS) - baby hamster kidney (BHK) - human embryonic kidney (HEK-239) -> long term (stable) expression -> integration into chromosome -> viral origins - chinese hamster ovary (CHO)
