This invention discloses a method for improving the soluble expression of the large subunit of [NiFe] hydrogenase in *Escherichia coli*, belonging to the fields of protein engineering and industrial microbiology. This method involves fusing a short-chain solubilizing peptide XXA to the C-terminus of the target [NiFe] hydrogenase large subunit to form a fusion protein. This design significantly promotes the soluble expression of the target protein while preserving the accessibility of the C-terminal hydrolysis site, enabling it to transform from an inclusion body form to a soluble form under anaerobic high-density fermentation conditions. This invention overcomes the long-standing technical bias in the field that C-terminal fusion hinders the maturation and processing of [NiFe] hydrogenase, achieving a balance between solubilizing effect and processing compatibility. It provides a new technical pathway for the recombinant production of complex metalloenzymes and has significant application value in the industrial preparation of hydrogenase, basic enzymology research, and bioenergy.
