Improving recombinant protein production by yeast through genome-scale modeling using proteome constraints.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic cells are used as cell factories to produce and secrete multitudes of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins, including several of the current top-selling drugs. Due to the essential role and complexity of the secretory pathway, improvement for recombinant protein production through metabolic engineering has traditionally been relatively ad-hoc; and a more systematic approach is required to generate novel design principles. Here, we present the proteome-constrained genome-scale protein secretory model of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (pcSecYeast), which enables us to simulate and explain phenotypes caused by limited secretory capacity. We further apply the pcSecYeast model to predict overexpression targets for the production of several recombinant proteins. We experimentally valid
