Abstract:Unfolded-protein response (UPR) denotes the upregulation of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident chaperone and foldase genes and numerous other genes involved in secretory functions during the accumulation of unfolded proteins into the ER. Overexpression of individual foldases and chaperones has been used in attempts to improve protein production in different production systems. We describe here a novel strategy to improve foreign-protein production. We show that the constitutive induction of the UPR pathway in… Show more
“…[13][14][15][16] The HacA protein translocates to the nucleus, where it increases the transcription of genes that encode proteins with functions in protein folding and secretion, The entire derA open reading frame was replaced with the hygromycin resistance cassette (hYG) as shown. southern blot analysis of NsiIdigested genomic DNa using a probe located in the 5' flanking region (p1) revealed the predicted truncation of a 9 kb wt NsiI fragment by the replacement of derA with hYG.…”

“…Laccase heterologous expression systems have also been employed as model to measure the effectiveness of different promoters, 29 besides other more specific aims, such as (i) to study the effect of constitutive activation of the Unfolded-protein response (UPR) pathway on the production of heterologous protein in A. niger; 153 (ii) to examine the protein quality control mechanism; 83 (iii) to select strains with higher production levels of heterologous proteins; 156 (iv) to evaluate the physiological state of an organism in biotechnical processes; 124,125 (v) to establish the effects of reduced protease activity on the stabilities of secreted recombinant proteins. 154 Development of applications of recombinant laccases from filamentous fungi is discussed in a next section.…”
“…This UPR is a well studied mechanism [13][14][15][16][17] which is also applied to increase folding capacity. By upregulating the transcription factors needed, or the resulting chaperones and folding enzymes, the folding capacity of the cell is enhanced [18][19][20][21] .…”
