This study presents a novel plasmid-free Escherichia coli expression system, enhancing recombinant protein production stability and yield by integrating genes into the host genome. This method overcomes limitations of traditional plasmid-based systems for improved bioprocessing.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Plasmid-based expression systems in E. coli face challenges including metabolic load, genetic instability (plasmid loss), and system leakiness.
  • High gene dosage from plasmids can negatively impact host cell metabolism and overall process efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a stable, plasmid-free T7-based E. coli expression system for enhanced recombinant gene expression.
  • To eliminate plasmid loss and minimize system leakiness inherent in conventional systems.

Main Methods:

  • Site-specific integration of the target gene into the host E. coli genome.
  • Utilizing a T7-based expression strategy for efficient transcription.
  • Stability assessment through chemostat cultivation under induced and non-induced states.

Main Results:

  • Eliminated plasmid loss, enhancing system stability.
  • Minimized system leakiness, improving control over gene expression.
  • Achieved high recombinant gene expression rates without detrimental effects on host metabolism.
  • Demonstrated stability over 40 generations (non-induced) and 10 generations (induced) in chemostat cultures.
  • Resulted in higher product yields compared to conventional pET systems.

Conclusions:

  • The plasmid-free system offers improved process stability and increased host cell capacity for recombinant protein production.
  • This system is advantageous for developing continuous bioprocessing with E. coli.
  • The benefits of this system should be weighed against the more complex cloning procedures required during upstream processing.
