Expression of biologically active proteins in a bacterial cell-free synthesis system using bacterial cells transformed to exhibit elevated levels of chaperone expression

The present disclosure describes methods and systems for improving the expression of a properly folded, biologically active protein of interest in a cell free synthesis system. The methods and systems use a bacterial cell free extract having an active oxidative phosphorylation system, and include an exogenous protein chaperone. The exogenous protein chaperone can be expressed by the bacteria used to prepare the cell free extract. The exogenous protein chaperone can be a protein disulfide isomerase and / or a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase. The inventors discovered that the combination of a protein disulfide isomerase and a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase produces a synergistic increase in the amount of properly folded, biologically active protein of interest.

Cell-free extract and glycoprotein synthesis system

Insect cells are stored in a small gas cylinder, and the small gas cylinder is charged with nitrogen gas to pressurize the cylinder. The charged gas is exhausted at once to crush the cells to provide the objective cell extract with translation activity and glycosylation activity. As this method is gentler than the conventional cell-crushing method employing a homogenizer, in addition to translation factors, factors carrying glycosylation activity can also be recovered. As a result, an in-vitro glycoprotein synthesis system capable of performing translation to post-translation glycosylation can be produced.
