Abstract
This work demonstrates the potential of calcium- and nickel-crosslinked Gellan Gum (GG) microspheres to capture the Six-Transmembrane Epithelial Antigen of the Prostate 1 (STEAP1) directly from complex Komagataella pastoris mini-bioreactor lysates in a batch method. Calcium-crosslinked microspheres were applied in an ionic exchange strategy, by manipulation of pH and ionic strength, whereas nickel-crosslinked microspheres were applied in an affinity strategy, mirroring a standard immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Both formulations presented small diameters, with appreciable crosslinker content, but calcium-crosslinked microspheres were far smoother. The most promising results were obtained for the ionic strategy, wherein calcium-crosslinked GG microspheres were able to completely bind 0.1% (v/v) DM solubilized STEAP1 in lysate samples (~7 mg/mL). The target protein was eluted in a complexed state at pH 11 with 500 mM NaCl in 10 mM Tris buffer, in a single step with minimal losses. Coupling the batch clarified sample with a co-immunoprecipitation polishing step yields a sample of monomeric STEAP1 with a high degree of purity. For the first time, we demonstrate the potential of a gellan batch method to function as a clarification and primary capture method towards STEAP1, a membrane protein, simplifying and reducing the costs of standard purification workflows.

Abstract
Membrane proteins (MPs) play vital roles across various cellular functions, biological processes, physiological signaling pathways, and human-related disorders. Considering the clinical relevance of MPs and their application as therapeutic targets, it is crucial to explore highly effective production platforms and purification approaches to ultimately obtain a high-resolution structure of the target. Therefore, it would be possible to gather detailed knowledge on their mechanism of action which will be the basis for the rational design of novel and stronger drugs. Unfortunately, when compared to their soluble counterparts, 3D structures of MPs are really scarce (<2%), mainly due to poorly natural abundance, challenges associated with protein solubility and stability, and difficulties in producing bioactive and properly structural folded targets. These drawbacks could significantly impair the use of MPs as therapeutic targeting and demand efforts to develop tailor-made strategies for their appropriate handling. Therefore, this chapter is focused on describing a detailed and high-throughput procedure for the biosynthesis of MPs using Komagataella pastoris cell cultures as expression system in a mini-bioreactor platform. Additionally, insights on a purification strategy that combines immobilized-metal affinity and ion-exchange chromatography are described to further obtain the target protein with a significant degree of purity.

Abstract
Complex cellular targets such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and other multi-transmembrane proteins represent a significant challenge for therapeutic antibody discovery, primarily because of poor stability of the target protein upon extraction from cell membranes. To assess whether a limited set of membrane-bound antigen formats could be exploited to identify functional antibodies directed against such targets, we selected a GPCR of therapeutic relevance (CCR1) and identified target binders using an in vitro yeast-based antibody discovery platform (AdimabTM) to expedite hit identification. Initially, we compared two different biotinylated antigen formats overexpressing human CCR1 in a ‘scouting’ approach using a subset of the antibody library. Binders were isolated using streptavidin-coated beads, expressed as yeast supernatants, and screened using a high-throughput binding assay and flow cytometry on appropriate cell lines. The most suitable antigen was then selected to isolate target binders using the full library diversity. This approach identified a combined total of 183 mAbs with diverse heavy chain sequences. A subset of clones exhibited high potencies in primary cell chemotaxis assays, with IC50 values in the low nM/high pM range. To assess the feasibility of any further affinity enhancement, full-length hCCR1 protein was purified, complementary-determining region diversified libraries were constructed from a high and lower affinity mAb, and improved binders were isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting selections. A significant affinity enhancement was observed for the lower affinity parental mAb, but not the high affinity mAb. These data exemplify a methodology to generate potent human mAbs for challenging targets rapidly using whole cells as antigen and define a route to the identification of affinity-matured variants if required.

Abstract
Membrane proteins evolved to reside in the hydrophobic lipid bilayers of cellular membranes. Therefore, membrane proteins bridge the different aqueous compartments separated by the membrane, and furthermore, dynamically interact with their surrounding lipid environment. The latter not only stabilizes membrane proteins, but directly impacts their folding, structure and function. In order to be characterized with biophysical and structural biological methods, membrane proteins are typically extracted and subsequently purified from their native lipid environment. This approach requires that lipid membranes are replaced by suitable surrogates, which ideally closely mimic the native bilayer, in order to maintain the membrane proteins structural and functional integrity. In this review, we survey the currently available membrane mimetic environments ranging from detergent micelles to bicelles, nanodiscs, lipidic-cubic phase (LCP), liposomes, and polymersomes. We discuss their respective advantages and disadvantages as well as their suitability for downstream biophysical and structural characterization. Finally, we take a look at ongoing methodological developments, which aim for direct in-situ characterization of membrane proteins within native membranes instead of relying on membrane mimetics.

Abstract
Membrane proteins constitute an important class of proteins for medical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological reasons. Understanding the structure and function of membrane proteins and their complexes is of key importance, but the progress in this area is slow because of the difficulties to produce them in sufficient quality and quantity. Overexpression of membrane proteins is often restricted by the limited capability of translocation systems to integrate proteins into the membrane and to fold them properly. Purification of membrane proteins requires their isolation from the membrane, which is a further challenge. The choice of expression system, detergents, and purification tags is therefore an important decision. Here, we present a protocol for expression in bacteria and isolation of a seven-subunit membrane protein complex, the bacterial holo-translocon, which can serve as a starting point for the production of other membrane protein complexes for structural and functional studies.

Abstract
Membrane proteins (MP) constitute 20–30% of all proteins encoded by the genome of various organisms and perform a wide range of essential biological functions. However, despite they represent the largest class of protein drug targets, a relatively small number high-resolution 3D structures have been obtained yet. Membrane protein biogenesis is more complex than that of the soluble proteins and its recombinant biosynthesis has been a major drawback, thus delaying their further structural characterization. Indeed, the major limitation in structure determination of MP is the low yield achieved in recombinant expression, usually coupled to low functionality, pinpointing the optimization target in recombinant MP research. Recently, the growing attention that have been dedicated to the upstream stage of MP bioprocesses allowed great advances, permitting the evolution of the number of MP solved structures. In this review, we analyse and discuss effective solutions and technical advances at the level of the upstream stage using prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms foreseeing an increase in expression yields of correctly folded MP and that may facilitate the determination of their three-dimensional structure. A section on techniques used to protein quality control and further structure determination of MP is also included. Lastly, a critical assessment of major factors contributing for a good decision-making process related to the upstream stage of MP is presented.

Abstract
Membrane proteins (MPs), despite being critically important drug targets for the pharmaceutical industry, are difficult to study due to challenges in obtaining high yields of functional protein. Most current extraction efforts use specialized non-ionic detergents to solubilize and stabilize MPs, with MPs being concentrated by ultrafiltration (UF). However, many detergents are retained during the UF step, which can destabilize MPs and/or interfere with their characterization. Here, we studied the influence of detergent selection on the extraction and UF-based concentration of biomedically-relevant MPs, the light-driven sodium and chloride transporters, KR2 and halorhodopsin (pHR) which are also model proteins for more complex mammalian rhodopsins. We also designed a flat-bottomed centrifugal filter that can concentrate MPs with enhanced removal of free detergents by promoting concentration polarization (CP). We tested the performance of this new filter using four commonly employed MP detergents, octyl-β-D maltoside (OM), decyl-β-D maltoside (DM), dodecyl-β-D maltoside (DDM) and octyl-β-D glucoside (OG), over a range of detergent and salt concentrations. Detergent passage is significantly higher for the flat-bottomed filter achieving up to 2-fold greater sieving of detergent in DM-solubilized pHR system due to the high degree of CP. We observe more efficient, up to 5-fold higher extraction of KR2 in the presence of a longer 12-carbon alkyl chain detergent, DDM compared to a shorter 8-carbon detergent, OM. Assuming complete binding and elution of the extracted protein, DDM-based extraction of KR2 could lead to a potential 7-fold improvement in purification yields compared to conventional methods which yield ∼1 mg MP per liter of cell culture. However, the longer chain detergents like DDM form larger micelles that are difficult to remove by UF. Thus, there exists a trade-off between choosing a detergent that will enable efficient extraction of MP while showing easier removal during subsequent UF. The extraction efficiency and UF-based separation of detergent micelles provide insights for other applications involving detergent-mediated separation/extraction.

Abstract
To study integral membrane proteins, one has to extract them from the membrane—the step that is typically achieved by the application of detergents. In this mini-review, we summarize the top 10 detergents used for the structural analysis of membrane proteins based on the published results. The aim of this study is to provide the reader with an overview of the main properties of available detergents (critical micelle concentration (CMC) value, micelle size, etc.) and provide an idea of what detergents to may merit further study. Furthermore, we briefly discuss alternative solubilization and stabilization agents, such as polymers.

Abstract
Membrane proteins play crucial role in many cellular processes including cell adhesion, cell-cell communication, signal transduction and transport. To better understand the molecular basis of such central biological machines and in order to specifically study their biological and medical role, it is necessary to extract them from their membrane environment. To do so, it is challenging to find the best solubilization condition. Here we describe, a systematic screening method called BMSS (Biotinylated Membranes Solubilization & Separation) that allow screening 96 conditions at once. Streptavidine magnetic beads are used to separate solubilized proteins from remaining biotinylated membranes after solubilization. Relative quantification of dot blots help to select the best conditions to be confirmed by classical ultra-centrifugation and western blot. Classical detergents with different physical-chemical characteristics, novel calixarene based detergents and combination of both, were used for solubilization trials to obtain broad spectrum of conditions. Here, we show the application of BMSS to discover solubilization conditions of a GPCR target (MP-A) and a transporter (MP-B). The selected conditions allowed the solubilization and purification of non-aggregated and homogenous native membrane proteins A and B. Taken together, BMSS represent a rapid, reproducible and high throughput assessment of solubilization toward biochemical/functional characterization, biophysical screening and structural investigations of membrane proteins of high biological and medical relevance.

Abstract
The biopharmaceutical industry is at a turning point moving toward a more customized and patient-oriented medicine (precision medicine). Straightforward routines such as the antibody platform process are extended to production processes for a new portfolio of molecules. As a consequence, individual and tailored productions require generic approaches for a fast and dedicated purification process development. In this article, different effective strategies in biopharmaceutical purification process development are reviewed that can analogously be used for the new generation of antibodies. Conventional approaches based on heuristics and high-throughput process development are discussed and compared to modern technologies such as multivariate calibration and mechanistic modeling tools. Such approaches constitute a good foundation for fast and effective process development for new products and processes, but their full potential becomes obvious in a correlated combination. Thus, different combinatorial approaches are presented, which might become future directions in the biopharmaceutical industry.
