Increased recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli strains with overexpressed water-forming NADH oxidase and a deleted ArcA regulatory protein.

Glycolytic flux is increased and acetate production is reduced in Escherichia coli by the expression of heterologous NADH oxidase ( NOX) from Streptococcus pneumoniae coupled with the deletion of the arcA gene, which encodes the ArcA regulatory protein. In this study, we examined the overproduction of a model recombinant protein in strains of E. coli expressing NOX with or without an arcA mutation. The presence of NOX or the absence of ArcA reduced acetate by about 50% and increased beta-galactosidase production by 10-20%. The presence of NOX in the arcA strain eliminated acetate production entirely in batch fermentations and resulted in a 120% increase in beta-galactosidase production.[1]
