Abstract
The methylotrophic yeast Komagataella phaffii is a popular host system for the pharmaceutical and biotechnological production of recombinant proteins. CRISPR-Cas9 and its derivative CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) offer a promising avenue to further enhance and exploit the full capabilities of this host. MAD7 and its catalytically inactive variant "dead" MAD7 (dMAD7) represent an interesting alternative to established CRISPR-Cas9 systems and are free to use for industrial and academic research. CRISPRi utilizing dMAD7 does not introduce double-strand breaks but only binds to the DNA to regulate gene expression. Here, we report the first use of dMAD7 in K. phaffii to regulate the expression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP). A reduction of eGFP fluorescence level (up to 88%) was achieved in random integration experiments using dMAD7 plasmids. Integration loci/events of investigated strains were assessed through whole genome sequencing. Additionally, RNA-sequencing experiments corroborated the whole genome sequencing results and showed a significantly reduced expression of eGFP in strains containing a dMAD7 plasmid, among others. Our findings conclusively demonstrate the utility of dMAD7 in K. phaffii through successfully regulating eGFP expression.

Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:116. [PMID: 38643119 PMCID: PMC11031860 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02368-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most recombinant Komagataella phaffii (Pichia pastoris) strains for protein production are generated by genomic integration of expression cassettes. The clonal variability in gene copy numbers, integration loci and consequently product titers limit the aptitude for high throughput applications in drug discovery, enzyme engineering or most comparative analyses of genetic elements such as promoters or secretion signals. Circular episomal plasmids with an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS), an alternative which would alleviate some of these limitations, are inherently unstable in K. phaffii. Permanent selection pressure, mostly enabled by antibiotic resistance or auxotrophy markers, is crucial for plasmid maintenance and hardly scalable for production. The establishment and use of extrachromosomal ARS plasmids with key genes of the glycerol metabolism (glycerol kinase 1, GUT1, and triosephosphate isomerase 1, TPI1) as selection markers was investigated to obtain a system with high transformation rates that can be directly used for scalable production processes in lab scale bioreactors. RESULTS In micro-scale deep-well plate experiments, ARS plasmids employing the Ashbya gossypii TEF1 (transcription elongation factor 1) promoter to regulate transcription of the marker gene were found to deliver high transformation efficiencies and the best performances with the reporter protein (CalB, lipase B of Candida antarctica) for both, the GUT1- and TPI1-based, marker systems. The GUT1 marker-bearing strain surpassed the reference strain with integrated expression cassette by 46% upon re-evaluation in shake flask cultures regarding CalB production, while the TPI1 system was slightly less productive compared to the control. In 5 L bioreactor methanol-free fed-batch cultivations, the episomal production system employing the GUT1 marker led to 100% increased CalB activity in the culture supernatant compared to integration construct. CONCLUSIONS For the first time, a scalable and methanol-independent expression system for recombinant protein production for K. phaffii using episomal expression vectors was demonstrated. Expression of the GUT1 selection marker gene of the new ARS plasmids was refined by employing the TEF1 promoter of A. gossypii. Additionally, the antibiotic-free marker toolbox for K. phaffii was expanded by the TPI1 marker system, which proved to be similarly suited for the use in episomal plasmids as well as integrative expression constructs for the purpose of recombinant protein production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The yeast Komagataella phaffii has become a very popular host for heterologous protein expression, very often based on the use of the AOX1 promoter, which becomes activated when cells are grown with methanol as a carbon source. However, the use of methanol in industrial settings is not devoid of problems, and therefore, the search for alternative expression methods has become a priority in the last few years. RESULTS We recently reported that moderate alkalinization of the medium triggers a fast and wide transcriptional response in K. phaffii. Here, we present the utilization of three alkaline pH-responsive promoters (pTSA1, pHSP12 and pPHO89) to drive the expression of a secreted phytase enzyme by simply shifting the pH of the medium to 8.0. These promoters offer a wide range of strengths, and the production of phytase could be modulated by adjusting the pH to specific values. The TSA1 and PHO89 promoters offered exquisite regulation, with virtually no enzyme production at acidic pH, while limitation of Pi in the medium further potentiated alkaline pH-driven phytase expression from the PHO89 promoter. An evolved strain based on this promoter was able to produce twice as much phytase as the reference pAOX1-based strain. Functional mapping of the TSA1 and HSP12 promoters suggests that both contain at least two alkaline pH-sensitive regulatory regions. CONCLUSIONS Our work shows that the use of alkaline pH-regulatable promoters could be a useful alternative to methanol-based expression systems, offering advantages in terms of simplicity, safety and economy.

Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:66. [PMID: 38402195 PMCID: PMC10893637 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-024-02340-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Komagataella phaffii (a.k.a. Pichia pastoris) harbors a glutamate utilization pathway in which synthesis of glutamate dehydrogenase 2 and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is induced by glutamate. Glutamate-inducible synthesis of these enzymes is regulated by Rtg1p, a cytosolic, basic helix-loop-helix protein. Here, we report food-grade monosodium glutamate (MSG)-inducible recombinant protein production from K. phaffii PEPCK promoter (PPEPCK) using green fluorescent protein (GFP) and receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 virus (RBD) as model proteins. RESULTS PPEPCK-RBD/GFP expression cassette was integrated at two different sites in the genome to improve recombinant protein yield from PPEPCK. The traditional, methanol-inducible alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1) was used as the benchmark. Initial studies carried out with MSG as the inducer resulted in low recombinant protein yield. A new strategy employing MSG/ethanol mixed feeding improved biomass generation as well as recombinant protein yield. Cell density of 100-120 A600 units/ml was achieved after 72 h of induction in shake flask cultivations, resulting in recombinant protein yield from PPEPCK that is comparable or even higher than that from PAOX1. CONCLUSIONS We have designed an induction medium for recombinant protein production from K. phaffii PPEPCK in shake flask cultivations. It consists of 1.0% yeast extract, 2.0% peptone, 0.17% yeast nitrogen base with ammonium sulfate, 100 mM potassium phosphate (pH 6.0), 0.4 mg/L biotin, 2.0% MSG, and 2% ethanol. Substitution of ammonium sulphate with 0.5% urea is optional. Carbon source was replenished every 24 h during 72 h induction period. Under these conditions, GFP and RBD yields from PPEPCK equaled and even surpassed those from PAOX1. Compared to the traditional methanol-inducible expression system, the inducers of glutamate-inducible expression system are non-toxic and their metabolism does not generate toxic metabolites such as formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide. This study sets the stage for MSG-inducible, industrial scale recombinant protein production from K. phaffii PPEPCK in bioreactors.

Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0174023. [PMID: 38193674 PMCID: PMC10880622 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01740-23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 12/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Pichia pastoris (P. pastoris) is one of the most popular cell factories for expressing exogenous proteins and producing useful chemicals. The alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1) is the most commonly used strong promoter in P. pastoris and has the characteristic of biphasic expression. However, the inducer for PAOX1, methanol, has toxicity and poses risks in industrial settings. In the present study, analyzing transcriptomic data of cells collected at different stages of growth found that the formate dehydrogenase (FDH) gene ranked 4960th in relative expression among 5032 genes during the early logarithmic growth phase but rose to the 10th and 1st during the middle and late logarithmic growth phases, respectively, displaying a strict biphasic expression characteristic. The unique transcriptional regulatory profile of the FDH gene prompted us to investigate the properties of its promoter (PFDH800). Under single-copy conditions, when a green fluorescent protein variant was used as the expression target, the PFDH800 achieved 119% and 69% of the activity of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase promoter and PAOX1, respectively. After increasing the copy number of the expression cassette in the strain to approximately four copies, the expression level of GFPuv driven by PFDH800 increased to approximately 2.5 times that of the strain containing GFPuv driven by a single copy of PAOX1. Our PFDH800-based expression system exhibited precise biphasic expression, ease of construction, minimal impact on normal cellular metabolism, and high strength. Therefore, it has the potential to serve as a new expression system to replace the PAOX1 promoter.IMPORTANCEThe alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (PAOX1) expression system has the characteristics of biphasic expression and high expression levels, making it the most widely used promoter in the yeast Pichia pastoris. However, PAOX1 requires methanol induction, which can be toxic and poses a fire hazard in large quantities. Our research has found that the activity of PFDH800 is closely related to the growth state of cells and can achieve biphasic expression without the need for an inducer. Compared to other reported non-methanol-induced biphasic expression systems, the system based on the PFDH800 offers several advantages, including high expression levels, simple construction, minimal impact on cellular metabolism, no need for an inducer, and the ability to fine-tune expression.

Komagataella phaffii as a Platform for Heterologous Expression of Enzymes Used for Industry. Microorganisms 2024; 12:346. [PMID: 38399750 PMCID: PMC10892927 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
In the 1980s, Escherichia coli was the preferred host for heterologous protein expression owing to its capacity for rapid growth in complex media; well-studied genetics; rapid and direct transformation with foreign DNA; and easily scalable fermentation. Despite the relative ease of use of E. coli for achieving the high expression of many recombinant proteins, for some proteins, e.g., membrane proteins or proteins of eukaryotic origin, this approach can be rather ineffective. Another microorganism long-used and popular as an expression system is baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In spite of a number of obvious advantages of these yeasts as host cells, there are some limitations on their use as expression systems, for example, inefficient secretion, misfolding, hyperglycosylation, and aberrant proteolytic processing of proteins. Over the past decade, nontraditional yeast species have been adapted to the role of alternative hosts for the production of recombinant proteins, e.g., Komagataella phaffii, Yarrowia lipolytica, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These yeast species' several physiological characteristics (that are different from those of S. cerevisiae), such as faster growth on cheap carbon sources and higher secretion capacity, make them practical alternative hosts for biotechnological purposes. Currently, the K. phaffii-based expression system is one of the most popular for the production of heterologous proteins. Along with the low secretion of endogenous proteins, K. phaffii efficiently produces and secretes heterologous proteins in high yields, thereby reducing the cost of purifying the latter. This review will discuss practical approaches and technological solutions for the efficient expression of recombinant proteins in K. phaffii, mainly based on the example of enzymes used for the feed industry.
