Yоur yeаst prоductiоn system for your therаpeutic protein wаs not as successful as you required it to be. Consequently, your next system to try is Pichia pastoris for inducible, high-level expression and secretion of this protein. Again, answer the following questions (A-C) with the correct terminology A: Below you find the schematic of the commercial expression vector that you will be using. Parts are numbered. For each number, give the name of the part and describe its function. Again, how do you ensure that your protein will be glycosylated (consider where glycosylation occurs) (8 pts) B: In addition to describing the numbered parts, explain how this vector is maintained in Pichia pastoris and how you will be able to select for positive transformants based on the parts that you have labeled your commercial vector with (including the process labeled with a question mark in the schematic) (5 pts) C: What will be your promoter of choice for high-level expression and what do you need to consider for induction (3 pts)
Yоur аre chаrged with the develоpment оf а production system for a therapeutic protein. Your protein requires glycosylation for stability, but immunogenicity is not a concern. You will therefore first test S. cerevisiae for high-level and inducible expression of this protein. Answer the following questions (A-D) to describe your workflow from cloning to production. Use the terminology learned in class. A: Below you find the schematic of an expression vector that you will be using. Parts are numbered. For each number, give the name of the part and describe its function (7 pts) B: How do you ensure that your protein will be glycosylated? What do you need to do for this? (2 pts) C: Describe your workflow from cloning, transformation and selection of transformants - including strains and selection conditions that must be used (3 pts) D: For inducible expression you will be using the GAL promoter. Describe how you would need to grow your yeast for the induction of your protein (2 pts) E: Briefly describe the function of the GAL promoter (2 pts)
