The effect of AcNPV infection conditions such as serum concentration, pH, CaCl2, lysosomotropic agent, cell density at infection, agitation, aeration and nutritional supplementattion on recombinant protein production in Spodoptera frugiperda 21 cells was investigated using tissue culture flask, bottle and spinner flask. It was shown that serum, CaCl2, pH and cell density at infection affected recombinant production. The lysosomotropic agent did not significantly influence recombinant protein production.

The optimization of the production of a fusion protein containing the antigenic domain 1 (AD-1) is of a great importance, considering its use in diagnostic tests. The fusion protein is produced by the fermentation of a recombinant strain of Escherichia coli containing the plasmid Mbg58, which expresses the AD-1 (aa 484-650) of human cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B as a fusion protein together with aa 1-375 of ${\beta}-galactosidase$. An important characteristic of promoters (lac and derivatives) used in recombinant protein production in E. coli is their inducibility. Induction by IPTG is widely used for basic research; however, its use in large-scale production is undesirable because of its high cost and toxicity. In this work, studies using different inducers and carbon sources for the production of a fusion protein containing the AD-l were performed. The results showed that lactose could be used as an inducer in the fermentation process for the production of this protein, and that expression levels could exceed those achieved with IPTG. The use of lactose for protein expression in E. coli should be extremely useful for the inexpensive, large-scale production of heterologous proteins in E. coli. Addition of sucrose to the fermentation medium improved the yield of recombinant protein, whereas addition of fructose or trehalose decreased the yield.

Seeds are an ideal repository for recombinant proteins in molecular farming applications. However, in order to use plant seeds efficiently for the production of such proteins, it is necessary to understand a number of fundamental biological properties of seeds. This includes a full understanding of promoters which function in a seed-specific manner, the subcellular targeting of the desired polypeptide and the final form in which a protein is stored. Once a biologically active protein has been deposited in a seed, it is also critical that the protein can be extracted and purified efficiently. In this review, these issues are examined critically to provide a number of approaches which may be adopted for production of recombinant proteins in plants. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between subcellular localization and protein extraction and purification. The robustness and flexibility of seed-based production is illustrated by examples close to or already in commercial production.

Silk proteins from Nephila clavipes are fibrous proteins containing repetitive sequences with both crystalline and amorphous domains. In order to obtain high-level production of silk protein, the synthetic genes had 16 contiguous units of the consensus repeat sequence of the silk protein were expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) under the strong inducible T7 promoter. For production of recombinant silk protein in large amounts, pH-stat fed-batch cultures were carried out. The recombinant silk protein was produced as soluble forms in E. coli, and the recombinant silk protein content was as high as 11% of the total protein. When cells were induced at $OD_{600}$ of 60, the amount of silk protein produced was 6.49 g/L. After simple purification steps, 9.2 mg of silk protein that was more than 80% pure was obtained from a 50 mL culture, and the recovery yield was 26.3%.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important infectious swine virus causing postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2 capsid protein, encoded by ORF2 has type-specific epitopes, is very immunogenic, and is associated with the induction of neutralizing antibodies. For the efficient production of capsid protein, recombinant Autographa californica nucleopolyhedroviruses were generated to express ORF2 fused with two forms of a partial polyhedrin. Recombinant capsid protein was produced successfully with the partial polyhedrin fusion form and the yield was high, as was shown by SDS-PAGE. Production of recombinant capsid proteins in insect cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis using anti-His monoclonal antibody, anti-ORF2 monoclonal antibody, and anti-PCV2 porcine serum. Fusion expression with amino acids 19 to 110 of the polyhedrin increased the production of recombinant capsid protein, but fusion with amino acids 32 to 85 did not. Additionally, PCV2 capsid protein is a glycoprotein; however, the glycosylation of recombinant protein was not observed. The results of an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that recombinant capsid proteins could be utilized as antigens for fast, large-scale diagnosis of PCV2-infected pigs. Our results suggest that the fusion expression of partial polyhedrin is able to increase the production of recombinant PCV2 capsid protein in insect cells.

Optimizing protein production in recombinant E. coli strains involves manipulation of genetic and environmental factors. In designing a production system, attention must be paid to gene expression efficiency, culture conditions and bioreactor configuration. Although not much emphasis was given to the physiology of host strains in this review, an understanding of the relationship between the physiology of host cell growth and the overproduction of a cloned gene protein is of primary importance to the improvement of the recombinant fermentation processes. Sometimes it is desirable to make use of gene fusion systems, e.g. protein A, polypeptide, gutathione-S-transferase, or pneumococcal murein hydrolase fusion, to facilitate protein purification.

Physiological studies on the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis (Btt) gene coding for insecticidal protein in recombinant Escherichia coli 537 were carried out to identify optimal culture condition. It was necessary to shift culture temperature from 30 to $42^{\circ}C$ to express the gene. Expression of the Btt toxin gene by recombinant E. coli 537 began within one hour after induction. Complex nitrogen sources increased production of the insecticidal protein. The total insecticidal protein was 0.5 g/I when using yeast extract as a complex nitrogen source. Soybean hydrolysate showed apparently the highest induction efficiency. After induction, the cellular content of the insecticidal protein was 5.4 times higher than it had been before induction. The optimal cultivation strategy was found to grow cells for 7hours at $30^{\circ}C$ and then 5-8 hours at $42^{\circ}C$. The optimal cultivation pH for the production of insecticidal protein was 6.5. The Btt toxin produced by the recombinant E. coli 537 was found to have the same level of potency against Colorado potato beetle as the original toxin.

The development of a high-throughput functional genomic screening provides a novel and expeditious approach in identifying critical genes involved in specific biological processes. Here we describe a cell-based cDNA screening system to identify the transcription activators of BiP, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone protein. BiP promoter contains the ER stress element which is commonly present in the genes involved in unfolded protein response (UPR) that regulates protein secretion in cells. Therefore, the positive regulators of BiP may also be utilized to improve the recombinant protein production through modulation of UPR. Four BiP activators, including human UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (HUGT1), are identified by the cDNA screening. Overexpression of HUGT1 leads to a significant increase in the production of recombinant erythropoietin, interferon ${\gamma}$, and monoclonal antibody in HEK293 cells. Our results demonstrate that the cDNA screening for BiP activators may be effective to identify the novel BiP regulators and HUGT1 may serve as an ideal target gene for improving the recombinant protein production in mammalian cells.

형질 전환된 담배 seed에서 담배 식물체를 유도하여 White 액체 배지에서 기관 배양하였다. 암조건, sucrose 2%의 조건에서 좋은 growth pattern을 나타내었고, 계대 배양은 외마디법을 이용하여 2주마다 하였다. 기관 배양에서 hGM-CSF production pattern을 보면, intracellular에서는 큰 변화 없이 약 30 ng/g의 일정한 농도를 나타내었다. Extracellular에서 hGM-CSF 농도는 배양 6일 이후부터 급속하게 증가하기 시작하여 배양 12일째에 약 0.2ng/$m\ell$의 농도를 나타낸다. 기관배양은 다른 식물세포 배양 시스템에 비해 생산되어진 단백질의 안정성이 크다는 장점에 비해 세포 내에서 배지 내로의 단백질 분비가 적다는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 다양한 permeabilizing agents를 투여하여 담배 세포의 permeability를 증가시키고자 하였다. 그 결과, Pluronic F-68과 PEG8000을 첨가한 경우 담배 세포에서 배지 내로의 단백질 분비가 원활해졌음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 저온에서의 재조합 단백질 생산성 향상을 위하여 저온에서 RNA 샤페론 활성을 지닌다고 알려진 CspA 단백질의 발현이 서로 다른 온도에서 대장균의 성장 및 GFP의 발현 속도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$에서는 세포 성장 및 GFP의 생산이 CspA의 발현에 영향을 받지 않았으나, $15^{\circ}C$에서는 GFP의 총 생산성이 CspA의 동시 발현에 의해 향상되었으며 이는 세포 성장 속도의 향상에 기인함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 CspA의 발현은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 세포 당 재조합 단백질 생산량의 증가에는 영향을 미치지 않으나, 즉 재조합 단백질의 번역 효율에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않으나, 대장균 성장 속도에 영향을 미치며, 이를 통해 재조합 단백질의 총 생산량 향상을 유도 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
