Recombinant protein expression in Escherichia coli: advances and challenges.
TLDR
The different approaches for the synthesis of recombinant proteins in E. coli are reviewed and recent progress in this ever-growing field is discussed.Abstract:
Escherichia coli is the organism of choice for the production of recombinant proteins. Its use as a cell factory is well-established and it has become the most popular expression platform. For this reason, there are many molecular tools and protocols at hand for the high-level production of recombinant proteins, such as a vast catalog of expression plasmids, a great number of engineered strains and many cultivation strategies. We review the different approaches for the synthesis of recombinant proteins in E. coli and discuss recent progress in this ever-growing field.read more

TL;DR: Analyses of the genome sequences of a large number of E. coli strains and of strains from > 100 other bacterial genera indicate a value of 79-80% dDDH as the most promising threshold for delineating subspecies, which in turn suggests the presence of five subspecies withinE.

Use of bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase to direct selective high-level expression of cloned genes
F W Studier,B A Moffatt +1 more
TL;DR: A gene expression system based on bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase has been developed and high levels of accumulation suggest that the RNAs are relatively stable, perhaps in part because their great length and/or stem-and-loop structures at their 3' ends help to protect them against exonucleolytic degradation.

Single-step purification of polypeptides expressed in Escherichia coli as fusions with glutathione S-transferase.
D B Smith,Kevin S. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Plasmid expression vectors have been constructed that direct the synthesis of foreign polypeptides in Escherichia coli as fusions with the C terminus of Sj26, a 26-kDa glutathione S-transferase (GST; EC 2.5.1.18) encoded by the parasitic helminth Schistosoma japonicum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein production by auto-induction in high-density shaking cultures
TL;DR: Investigation of factors that affect stability, growth, and induction of T7 expression strains in shaking vessels led to the recognition that sporadic, unintended induction of expression in complex media, previously reported by others, is almost certainly caused by small amounts of lactose.

TL;DR: In vitro recombination techniques were used to construct a new cloning vehicle, pBR322, which is a relaxed replicating plasmid, does not produce and is sensitive to colicin E1, and carries resistance genes to the antibiotics ampicillin (Ap) and tetracycline (Tc).

Tight regulation, modulation, and high-level expression by vectors containing the arabinose PBAD promoter.
TL;DR: The tight regulation of the PBAD promoter is exploited to study the phenotypes of null mutations of essential genes and the use of pBAD vectors as an expression system is explored.
