Targeted Mass Spectrometry-Based Proteomics Tools for Strain Optimization

Methods in Molecular Biology
Hsien-Chung Tseng, Christine Nicole S Santos

Abstract

The goal of strain optimization is to create high-performance strains producing compounds of interest at a high titer, yield, and volumetric productivity. The effectiveness of strain optimization relies on methodologies used to aid optimization of native or novel pathways within cells. Many different factors, including mRNA abundance, protein abundance, and enzyme activity/stability, will contribute to the strain performance, which is not often evident by simply monitoring product titers. To this end, targeted proteomics tools utilizing LC-MS-MS (liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) have recently been developed and can monitor protein levels at great sensitivities. Here, we describe all relevant aspects when developing proteomics tools for strain optimization.
