A combinatorial library of artificial transcription factors (ATFs) was introduced into the bacterial cells that expressed the Akt1-GFP fusion protein. By measuring the level of fluorescence generated by the transformed E. coli cells, we were able to obtain clones in which ATFs increased the solubility of the Akt1. Our results show that ATF library is a useful tool for increasing the solubility of selected recombinant proteins in E. coli.

A 6.9-kb DNA fragment including the minimal Bacillus pasteurii urease gene cluster was subcloned into a high-copy-number plasmid vector, pUC19, and the recombinant B. pasteurii urease was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant urease was purified 25.9-fold by using combinations of anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography followed by Mono-Q chromatography on a FPLC. N-terminal peptide sequencing analyses revealed that two distinct smaller peptide bands resolved on a 10-18％ gradient SDS-PAGE corresponded to UreA and UreB peptides, respectively. It was also shown that the ureB gene was translated from a GUG codon and the first methionine residue was post-translationally cleaved off. The native molecular weight of the recombinant urease was 176,000 and 2 nickel atoms were present per catalytic unit. pH stability studies of the purified enzyme showed that the recombinant Bacillus pasteurii urease is stable in alkaline pH range, which is similar to the enzyme of the evolutionarily related bacterium, Sporosarcina ureae.

Transcriptome analysis was performed for the production of recombinant protein in E. coli using DNA microarray containing 2,850 genes including all functionally known and putative ones. Changes in transcriptome were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to provide their physiological and metabolic meanings.

The production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli often leads to the formation of an intracellular inclusion body. Key process steps that can determine the economics of large-scale protein production from inclusion bodies are fermentation, inclusion body recovery, and protein refolding. Compared with protein refolding and fermentation, inclusion body recovery has received scant research attention. Nevertheless, it can control the final product yield and hence process cost for some products. Optimal separation of inclusion bodies and cell debris can also aid subsequent operations by removing contaminant particulates that foul chromatographic resins and contain antigenic pyrogens. In this review, the properties of inclusion bodies and cellular debris are therefore examined. Attempts to optimise the centrifugal separation of inclusion bodies and debris are also discussed.

This report describes a high-level expression of human alpha-2a interferon ($IFN{\alpha}-2a$) in Escherichia coli and its pilot scale purification by using a monoclonal antibody-independent chromatographic procedure that is based on anion-exchange, cation-exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and gel filtration. The recombinant E. coli produced much more $IFN{\alpha}-2a$ in a soluble form, when cultivated at low temperatures than at high-temperature fermentation. However, if the bacterial growth was taken into consideration, fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$ seemed optimal for the interferon production. By using our new protocol, we recovered approximately 160 mg of $IFN{\alpha}-2a$ with a specific activity of $3.59{\times}10^8$ IU/mg from 201 of the broth. The gel permeation chromatographic and SDS-PAGE indicated that the interferon preparation was purified to homogeneity and was of the correctly folded fast-migrating monomer.

The aim of the present study was to optimize culture condition for the expression of lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ in a recombinant of Escherichia coli using batch system. Plasmid (pHT22) carrying lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ gene was well maintained in the recombinant with the addition of amplicillin as a selection pressures. Optimum temperature was 28$^{\circ}C$ for seed culture and 4$0^{\circ}C$ for main culture and the optimum pH was 7.0. The production of Lipocortin-1$_{1-185}$ was closely associated with cell growth and related to plasmid amplification.

The lectin gene from rice was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. The amplified DNA was inserted into the expression vector pET26b and expressed it as a fusion protein with polyhistidine sequences in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein was produced by induction with 0.4 mM isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside at 37$^{\circ}C$ and purified by an immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The recombinant protein was found to have lectin activity by the hemagglutination inhibition assay. The hemagglutination activity of the recombinant protein was optimal at pH 4.0-7.0 and was dependent on $Ca^{2+}$ and Mn$^{2+}$.2+/.
