Exclusive AOX1 promoter libraries for fine-tuned methanol-inducible or methanol-free protein production
Maximization of protein production -
1st generation methanol-inducible AOX1 promotor variants
Key benefits
- Productivity records of 35 g/L of secreted protein in supernatant for methanol-induced protein expression
- Large number of exclusive AOX1 promoter variants for proper fine-tuning of gene expression
- Robust processes with low cost of goods
- Selection of perfect match of the respective promoter variant and your target gene
VALIDOGEN's highly proven 1st generation promoter variants form the core of VALIDOGEN´s cutting-edge Pichia pastoris toolbox known as UNLOCK PICHIA enabling fine-tuned high level protein expression of your protein.
These methanol-inducible promoter variants enable the fine tuning of gene expression by selecting the perfect match of promoter/target gene combinations. The technology can further be used to enable cells to provide expression enhancing factors in a well dosed manner and just in time during expression of a target protein. Both yield and quality of the target protein are thus maximized.
VALIDOGEN's unique methanol-free Pichia protein production system -
2nd generation AOX1 promoter variants
Key benefits
- Productivity records of 20 g/l of secreted protein in supernatant for methanol-free protein expression in Pichia
- Improved process safety by abolishing toxic and explosive methanol
- Robust processes with low cost of goods
- Decreased demand for cooling and aeration
- Glycerol or glucose as the sole carbon source
- Potential to significantly reduce process times
VALIDOGEN's new 2nd generation AOX1 promoter variants allow for safe and economically viable protein production in glycerol- or glucose-fed processes fully devoid of methanol.
Apart from improving safety by abolishing toxic and explosive methanol as a substrate, major advantages of this technology are a reduced oxygen consumption and therefore a significantly reduced heat production and cooling effort in bioreactor cultivations. Additionally, there is a high potential to reduce process time and cost of goods.
