AI Technical Summary
Current methods for producing recombinant proteins in bacteria often result in improperly folded, aggregated, or inactive proteins due to the formation of inclusion bodies and the bacterial cytoplasm's resistance to disulfide bond formation.
The use of novel secretion signals, such as the AnsB secretion signal, to direct recombinant proteins to the periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria, where proper folding and disulfide bond formation can occur, and the proteins can be efficiently secreted into the extracellular environment.
This approach increases the yield of properly folded, soluble, and active recombinant proteins, reduces the formation of inclusion bodies, and facilitates more efficient purification and recovery of the proteins.
