[0073] Secretion efficiency of different combinations of signal sequence and carrier peptide
[0074] A. Luciferase Assay:
[0075] E. coli strains NEB 5-alpha and BL21(DE3) were used for transformation and luciferase assays.
[0076] Different combinations of secretion signals were constructed as follows:
[0077] a) the signal sequence of Seq.ID 1 and the carrier protein represented by Seq.ID 5,
[0078] b) the signal sequence of Seq.ID 2 and the carrier protein represented by Seq.ID 5,
[0079] c) the signal sequence of Seq.ID 3 and the carrier protein represented by Seq.ID 5,
[0080] d) Signal sequence of Seq.ID 4 and carrier protein represented by Seq.ID 5.
[0081] Gaussian luciferase was used as a reporter system to detect secretory activity of E. coli. Gaussian luciferase assays were performed using the Pierce Gaussian luciferase flash assay kit. Medium was collected from the cultures at the indicated time intervals after induction and luciferase activity was me...

[0093] Secretion efficiency of Seq.ID 6 compared to Seq.ID 5
[0094] The DNA sequence of the recombinant protein was cloned into the pBacSec-LC vector with a secretion signal sequence comprising the following combination: Seq.ID 4 and Seq.ID 5, or Seq.ID 4 and Seq.ID 6.
[0095] Seq.ID 6 was synthesized by mutating Seq.ID 5, wherein the TGC codon at position 40 of Seq.ID 5 was mutated into the GCG codon of Seq.ID 6, making the 14th position of Seq.ID 7 Cys is mutated to Ala at position 14 of Seq.ID 8. The Cys residue at position 14 of the peptide enables dimerization and increases the chance of inclusion body formation. Mutation of Cys to Ala abolishes the dimerizing properties of the peptide, thereby reducing the chance of inclusion body formation, which in turn enhances the secretion of the peptide and the recombinant peptide.
[0096] E. coli cells were transformed with the respective vectors, and two sets of cultures were prepared under reducing and non-reducing conditi...
