Biopharmaceutical production is booming, driven by improved eukaryotic expression systems. However, cell-specific productivity has plateaued, necessitating engineering of protein folding and signal pathways for further biomanufacturing advancements.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology and Bioprocessing
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cellular Engineering

Background:

  • The biopharmaceutical market is experiencing significant growth, valued at US$48 billion with a 19% annual increase.
  • Eukaryotic expression systems have seen a 100-fold productivity increase, fueling market expansion.
  • Despite overall gains, cell-specific productivity in these systems has stagnated for over a decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore strategies for enhancing cell-specific productivity in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
  • To investigate the role of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein folding machinery.
  • To review signal transduction pathways activated by heterologous protein overexpression.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of engineering approaches for ER-resident protein folding systems.
