Overview

Codon optimization for yeast is a crucial step in maximizing protein expression levels. Yeast, such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris, is widely used for protein production due to its ability to perform post-translational modifications and its ease of genetic manipulation. However, the efficiency of protein expression can be limited if the codon usage of the target gene does not match the preferences of yeast. This is where codon optimization comes in. By modifying the gene sequence to use codons that are more frequently utilized by yeast, we can significantly improve protein yield and functionality.

Why Choose Codon Optimization for Yeast:

Increased Protein Yield: Optimizing the codon usage to match yeast preferences results in higher protein production.
Improved Translation Efficiency: Enhanced translation efficiency leads to faster and more reliable protein synthesis.

Case Study

In addition to wild-type eGFP, eight variants were generated. The high expression variants were made from a codon usage table (HT) and matrix (H1-H3) constructed using the 100 most highly expressed genes in yeast grown in rich media. Control variants were constructed from the standard usage table (CT) and control matrix (C1-C3). eGFP protein expression was measured using flow cytometry for yeast grown in YPD. Biological triplicates were used to calculate standard deviations, indicated by error bars and p-values were calculated using a t-test to determine statistical significance.

Optimization for a high expression condition results in eGFP expression exceeding the wild-type(AM Lanza, et al.,2014)
