Biological target:
Polysorbate 40 is a class of emulsifiers used in some pharmaceuticals and food preparation.
In vitro activity:
This study demonstrates that tween 40, a surfactant promoter of the production of glutamate and arginine, improves L-ornithine production titers in engineered C. glutamicum S9114. The intracellular metabolism under tween 40 triggered fermentation conditions was explored using a quantitative proteomic approach, identifying 48 up-regulated and 132 down-regulated proteins when compared with the control. These results clearly demonstrate the positive effect of tween 40 addition on L-ornithine accumulation. Proteome analysis was performed to examine the impact of tween 40 addition on the physiological changes in C. glutamicum Orn8 and the results showed several promising modulation targets for developing L-ornithine-producing strains.

In vivo activity:
Mouse liver homogenization by Potter-Elvehjem homogenizer in combination with sucrose-cushion ultracentrifugation and PM enrichment with Tween 40 resulted in two times higher transporter protein quantity (Breast cancer resistance protein (Bcrp) 18.0 fmol/μg protein) in comparison with the PM samples isolated by extraction kit (Bcrp 9.8 fmol/μg protein). The evaluation of protein digestion protocols revealed that the most optimal protocol for PM protein digestion is with Lys-C and trypsin, in combination with trypsin enhancer and heat denaturation. Overall, quantities of Bcrp and Na+/K + ATPase proteins evaluated in mouse liver and kidney cortex by using our optimized PM isolation method, as well as, established digestion protocol were two to three times higher than previously reported and coefficient of variation (CV) for technical replicates was below 10%.
