Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method of increasing extracellular secretion of secretory proteins by co-expressing the secretory proteins with a mature cutinase. Cutinase can improve the permeability of E. coli cell membrane without destroying the membrane, and thus facilitate cross-membrane transfer of the secretory proteins co-expressed in E. coli . Increased extracellular secretion of target proteins can shorten cell culture time, reduce the formation of inclusion bodies and increase production of target proteins.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for secretory expression of T. fusca cutinase in E. coli without mediation of a signal peptide, comprising cloning a mature cutinase gene from T. fusca into an expression vector that does not comprise a signal peptide, expressing said mature cutinase in an E. coli host strain and obtaining said T. fusca cutinase from the culture supernatant. 2. The method of claim 1 , comprising the steps of: 1) Amplify a gene encoding…
