Abstract
ABSTRACT Komagataella phaffii (syn. Pichia pastoris) is an important host for the production of recombinant proteins and small molecules, often exhibiting superior performance compared to other heterologous hosts. With advancements in synthetic biology and computational biology, metabolic engineering has become a key strategy for achieving high-level heterologous proteins and small molecules in K. phaffii for industrial and commercial applications. In this review, we provide an overview of advances in K. phaffii metabolic engineering. We first discuss the development of the K. phaffii expression system. Subsequently, we analyze core optimization strategies, including metabolic flux control, metabolic dynamic control, application of system modeling, chassis cell optimization, and recombinant protein and small-molecule production, before finally summarizing the current challenges and future development directions.
This review summarizes recent advances in engineering key expression elements underlying heterologous protein production in K. phaffii, with particular emphasis on promoter architecture redesign, signal peptide replacement and sequence engineering, molecular chaperone co-expression, and quantitative regulation of the u...

This review systematically summarize recent progress in the metabolic engineering of Candida species as microbial cell factories, with particular emphasis on expanding genetic toolkits, utilizting renewable and non-conventional carbon sources, and biosynthesizing high-value compounds.
The heterologous production of terpene in microbial hosts is often limited by inefficient and unstable pathway expression, creating a major bottleneck for industrial-scale synthesis. While E. coli as a chassis offers significant advantages, such as rapid growth, ease of cultivation, and genetic tractability. Its endoge...
