In eukaryotes, the localization of small ribosomal subunits to mRNA transcripts requires the translation of Kozak elements at the starting site. The sequence of Kozak elements affects the translation efficiency of protein synthesis. However, whether the upstream nucleotide of Kozak sequence affects the expression of recombinant proteins in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells remains unclear. In order to find the optimal sequence to enhance recombinant proteins expression in CHO cells, -10 to +4 sequences around ATG in 100 CHO genes were compared, and the extended Kozak elements with different translation intensities were constructed. Using the classic Kozak element as control, the effects of optimized extended Kozak elements on the secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) and human serum albumin (HSA) gene were studied. The results showed that the optimized extended Kozak sequence can enhance the stable expression level of recombinant proteins in CHO cells. Furthermore, it was found that the increased expression level of the recombinant protein was not related with higher transcription level. In summary, optimizing extended Kozak elements can enhance the expression of recombinant proteins in CHO cells, which contributes to the construction of an efficient expression system for CHO cells.

The cis-regulatory elements encoded in an mRNA determine its stability and translational output. While there has been a considerable effort to understand the factors driving mRNA stability, the regulatory frameworks governing translational control remain more elusive. We have developed a novel massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to measure mRNA translation, named Nascent Peptide Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification (NaP-TRAP).

The mechanical behavior of the metallic components fabricated by additive manufacturing (AM) technologies can be influenced by adjustments in their microstructure or by using specially engineered geometries. Manipulating the topological features of the component, such as incorporating unit cells, enables the production of lighter metamaterials, such as lattice structures. This study investigates the mechanical behavior of lattice structures created from AlSi10Mg, which were produced using the laser beam powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) process.

Article Synopsis
  • Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are commonly used for producing recombinant proteins, but their expression levels can be low.
  • This study demonstrates that optimizing the expression vector by incorporating regulatory elements like Kozak and Leader enhances protein expression significantly.
  • Additionally, modifying the CHO cell line by knocking out the Apaf1 gene using CRISPR/Cas9 technology further boosts protein production, paving the way for large-scale recombinant protein production.
