Global transcriptional analysis of an Escherichia coli recombinant protein process during hypoxia and hyperoxia

(cont.) The effects of recombinant protein production were observed through expression analysis of induced, uninduced, and Empty-Vector cultures. As expected, recombinant α₁AT production led to increased expression of heat-shock genes, including proteases and chaperones that are known to be involved in α₁AT degradation. Based on expression analysis data, production of recombinant α₁AT also resulted in catabolite repression and decreased amino acid biosynthesis. This work demonstrates the utility of DNA microarrays in analyzing and improving microbial fermentations. Global expression studies have suggested several strategies for increasing the resistance of bioprocesses to the damaging effects of oxygen and recombinant protein production.
