The Effect of Recombinant Protein Production in Lactococcus lactis Transcriptome and Proteome
2022
Monteiro, Gabriel A. | Duarte, Sofia O. D.
Lactococcus lactis is a food-grade, and generally recognized as safe, bacterium, which making it ideal for producing plasmid DNA (pDNA) or recombinant proteins for industrial or pharmaceutical applications. The present paper reviews the major findings from L. lactis transcriptome and proteome studies, with an overexpression of native or recombinant proteins. These studies should provide important insights on how to engineer the plasmid vectors and/or the strains in order to achieve high pDNA or recombinant proteins yields, with high quality standards. L. lactis harboring high copy numbers of plasmids for DNA vaccines production showed altered proteome profiles, when compared with a smaller copy number plasmid. For live mucosal vaccination applications, the cell-wall anchored antigens had shown more promising results, when compared with intracellular or secreted antigens. However, previous transcriptome and proteome studies demonstrated that engineering L. lactis to express membrane proteins, mainly with a eukaryotic background, increases the overall cellular burden. Genome engineering strategies could be used to knockout or overexpress the pinpointed genes, so as to increase the profitability of the process. Studies about the effect of protein overexpression on Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtillis transcriptome and proteome are also included.
