Abstract
Design of experiment (DOE) is a statistical approach for designing, performing, and interpreting a large set of data with the minimum number of tests. In our previous study, we developed a novel Hsp27 SILEX system for production of recombinant proteins. In the present study, we optimized indirectly the most effective factors including inoculation load, self-induction temperature, and culture media on autoinduction of staphylokinase (SAK) expression using RSM methodology and fluorometry. The expression level of SAK was assayed at different runs after 6 h incubation at 90 rpm. The results indicated all parameters significantly affect the SAK expression level (p < 0.05). The optimum expression condition was obtained with an inoculation load of 0.05, a temperature of 25 °C, and TB culture medium. The analysis of variance with a R2 value of 0.91 showed that a quadratic model well described this prediction (p < 0.05). Applying the optimized condition led to an approximately fourfold increase in the SAK expression level (from 1.3 to 5.2 µg/ml). Moreover, the recombinant protein was purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography and the activity was also confirmed by semi-quantitative caseinolytic method.

Use of plasmids for expression of proteins from the genus Leishmania in Escherichia coli: current state and perspectives. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:4273-4280.

Abstract
Leishmaniosis is caused by the protozoa of the genus Leishmania with a wide spectrum of clinical and epidemiological manifestations which are characterized into four clinical groups: cutaneous, mucocutaneous, diffuse cutaneous, and visceral. American visceral leishmaniosis (AVL) or visceral leishmaniosis (VL) has been known as the most severe form of the disease. However, despite the growing number of people exposed to the infection risk and the great effort done by the scientific community worldwide to significantly increase the knowledge about these diseases, there is no vaccine capable of preventing VL in humans. In this short review, we present some of the plasmids used for the expression of recombinant protein by Escherichia coli strains used mainly for the second generation of vaccines for leishmaniosis. It can be emphasized that currently, these vectors and hosts play an important role in developing vaccine strategies against the disease. Indeed, use of the E. coli BL21 (DE) strain is remarkable mainly due to its characteristics for being a stable protein producer as well as the use of histidine tags for antigen purification. KEY POINTS: • Plasmid vectors and E. coli will continue being important for studies about leishmaniosis. • Protein purification exploiting histidine tags is a key technique.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of induction conditions (IPTG concentration, temperature, and induction time) on the plasmid pQE-30 stability and 503 antigen expression of Leishmania i. chagasi in Escherichia coli M15. Batch cultures were performed at 37 °C and induced by the addition of different IPTG concentrations (0.01 to 1.5 mM). Subsequently, experiments were carried out at different temperatures (27 to 42 °C), evaluating the influence of induction time (0.5 to 6 h after the start of the culture). The results showed that IPTG toxicity caused a metabolic stress in the cells and, consequently, the microorganism growth reduced. The induction with IPTG may also be associated with the plasmid pQE-30 instability, due to metabolic burden imposed by the recombinant protein expression. The optimal conditions for 503 antigen expression of Leishmania i. chagasi in Escherichia coli M15 were an IPTG concentration of 1.0 mM, temperature of 37 °C, and induction time of 2 h. The maximum antigen concentration obtained was 0.119 ± 0.009 g/L, about seven times higher than the lowest concentration. Therefore, the results showed that 503 antigen can be produced in laboratory; however, it requires more studies to minimize the plasmid instability and improve to industrial scale.

Abstract
Leishmaniosis is a complex of diseases that can be fatal, if not given proper attention. Despite its relevance in the public health system, there is no vaccine capable of preventing the disease in humans so far and its treatment is expensive and aggressive to human health. The present study aims to optimize the induction parameters of the 503 Leishmania i. chagasi antigen expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli M15. The induction at different cell densities was evaluated in order to analyze the influence of the induction time on the yield of the protein of interest. In this segment, lactose and isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) were used as inducer molecules, using various concentrations: 0.1 g/L, 1.0 g/L, and 10 g/L for lactose and 20 μM, 100 μM, 500 μM, and 1000 μM for IPTG. The results presented that the concentration of IPTG that obtained the higher antigen levels was that of 100 μM (0.087 g/L), a 10-fold lower concentration than was being previously used in this type of system and for lactose, it was 1 g/L (0.016 g/L). Thus, the induction with 100 μM allowed obtaining the antigen with a concentration 5.6 times higher than the lactose induction maximum concentration.

Abstract
Cold-adapted superoxide dismutase (SOD) with higher catalytic activity at lower temperature has great amount of applications in many aspects as an industrial enzyme. The application of recombinant enzyme in gene engineering and microbial fermentation technology is an effective way to obtain high-yield product. In this study, to obtain the recombinant SOD in E. coli (rPsSOD) with the highest activity, the Box-Behnken design was first applied to optimize the important parameters (lactose, tryptone and Tween-80) affecting the activity of rPsSOD. The results showed that the optimal fermentation conditions were Tween-80 (0.047%), tryptone (6.16 g/L), lactose (11.38 g/L). The activity of rPsSOD was 71.86 U/mg (1.54 times) as compared with non-optimized conditions. Such an improved production will facilitate the application of the cold-adapted rPsSOD.
