  • Publication number: 20230047838
    Abstract: The present disclosure features methods and compositions for modulating lipid metabolism to achieve improved production and quality of recombinant products, such as next generation biologics. Modulation of lipid metabolism as described herein includes, for example, introducing a lipid metabolism modulator described herein to a cell or a cell-free system. Also encompassed by the present disclosure are engineered cells with improved production capacity and improved product quality, methods for engineering such cells, and preparations and mixtures comprising the products from such cells.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 11320422
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and compositions useful for evaluating, selecting, identifying, or making a cell or cell line that has improved production capacity for generating higher yields of products and/or improved capacity to produce higher quality products. Products, as described herein, can include a polypeptide that is endogenously expressed by the cell, a recombinant polypeptide that is not endogenously expressed, or a non-naturally occurring recombinant polypeptide. The methods described herein include modulating, e.g., inhibiting, the protein degradation pathway by using a proteasome inhibitor, an ER-associated degradation (ERAD) inhibitor, or a ubiquitin pathway inhibitor.
