Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An expression vector is disclosed, which comprises: a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a bacteriorhodopsin or a mutant bacteriorhodopsin; b) a multiple cloning site; c) a T7 promoter, d) a polyhistidine tag; e) a first protease cleavage site; f) optionally a second protease cleavage site; and g) optionally a linker; wherein the mutant bacteriorhodopsin comprises the residue corresponding to Asn94 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Also disclosed is a fusion membrane protein expression system, which comprises: a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a mutant Haloarcula marismortui bacteriorhodopsin/D94N (HmBRI/D94N) or a Haloquadratum walsbyi bacteriorhodopsin (HwBR); b) a target membrane protein; and c) a T7 promoter, operably linked to the mutant HmBRI/D94N or HwBR and the target membrane protein. Host cells comprising the expression vector or the fusion membrane protein expression system and methods of using the same are also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An expression vector comprising: a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a mutant bacteriorhodopsin having at least 80% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 1; b) a multiple cloning site, located downstream from the polynucleotide encoding the mutant bacteriorhodopsin; c) a T7 promoter, operably linked to the polynucleotide sequence encoding the mutant bacteriorhodopsin, d) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polyhistidine tag, located downstream from the poly…
