Heterologous Protein ProductionIn Eukaryotic Cells

• Prokaryotic systems are generally cheaper, but…

• Eukaryotic proteins produced in bacteria may be Unstable or lack biological activity due to lack

of posttranslational modifications or correct assembly Possess unacceptable contaminants after

purification

Posttranslational Modifications• Conformation

• Cleavage

• Correct disulfide bond formation

• Protein disulfide isomerase

• Amino acid removal from initial polypeptide

• O-linked or N-linked glycosylation About 30% of eukaryotic proteins are

glycosylated

Examples of N-Glycosylations

• Initial groups can be trimmed and then expanded to create different final modifications

Examples of N-Glycosylations

• Another Variation

Dificultades suplementarias

• El tiempo de división aumenta con la talla:

– Las células animales necesitan condiciones de asepsia muy estrictas

• Adhesión obligatoria:

– Ciertas líneas de células de mamíferos necesitan un soporte para ser viables. Esto:

– presenta un problema de escalado

– las vuelve particularmente susceptibles a la disrupción

Figure 1. Construction of recombinant adenoviral vectors. cDNA of interest is cloned into a shuttle vector which provides cDNAexpression cassette (adenovirusITR, E1 enhancer, adenovirus encapsidation signal, CMV promoter, and SV40 a polyadenylation signal). Homologous recombination sequences arealso cloned in this vector. Adenovirus genome (e.g., pJM17 shown in the figure) and the shuttle vector containing the cDNA are cotransfected in 293 cells.Intracellular homologous recombination between the two DNAs results in a E1- recombinant genome; the numbers 0, 20, 100 represent the approximatemap units. This recombinant genome is replication defective. However, in the presence of E1 proteins (provided in trans by 293 cells), the recombinantgenome will replicate and form adenoviral particles.

Cytopathic Effect

Liposomes

Why naked DNA?

Lets’ wrap it in something safe to increase transfection rate

Therapeutic drugs

Lipids – is an obvious idea !

Liposomes are formed by the self-assembly of phospholipid

molecules in an aqueous environment.

Cationic liposomes

positively charged lipid dropletscan interact with negatively charged DNA

Protein-mediated plasmid nuclear import. Transcription factors and other nuclear proteins normally enter the nucleus through interactions between their NLSs and importin family members. However, if plasmids containing certain sequences that act as scaffolds for transcription factors and other DNA binding proteins (termed ‘DTS’, or DNA nuclear targeting sequences) are deposited into the cytoplasm during transfection, they can form complexes with these proteins, thereby attaching NLSs to the DNA. Some, but not all, of these NLSs may be in a conformation able to interact with importins for transport of the DNA–protein complex into the nucleus through the nuclear pore complex.

Methods to enhance plasmid nuclear import. A number of different approaches have been developed to promote recognition of plasmids by importin family members to increase nuclear import. These include peptide-nucleic acid clamp-conjugated NLS peptides bound to DNA, sequence-specific DNA binding proteins bound to DNA, NLS peptides covalently attached to DNA and NLS peptides electrostatically bound to DNA.

How to make the gene expressed in the target cell?

Four basic types of expression vectors :

1. Minimal promoters used to study gene regulatory elements such as enhancer elements (in the lab studies).

2. Constitutive promoters used to direct expression of gene productsto produce enough target protein.

3. Cell-specific promoters used to specify expression to target cells(tissue-specific promoters in case of GT)

4. Regulated promoters used to control the on/off expressionof cloned genes.

Generalized Eukaryotic CloningVector

• Prokaryotic origin of replication, selectable marker

• Eukaryotic origin, selectable marker

• MCS with eukaryotic promoter and transcriptional terminator/polyadenylation signal

Mammalian Systems

• Sometimes insect cells simply don’t carry out proper/necessary glycosylations

• Other processing may also not occur

• Mammalian cell systems are more expensive by may be required for active product

Mammalian Expression Vector

• “I” is an intron that enhances expression

• Other signals similar to insect and prokaryotic vectors

Translation Control Elements

• K - Kozak Sequence (equiv. To rbs)

• S - for secretion signal peptide

• T – tag peptide for purification

• P – proteolytic cleavage sequence

• SC – stop codon for translation

• 3’UTR – proper sequences for efficient translation and mRNA stability (e.g. polyadenylation sequence)

•Useful for proteins of two different polypeptides
