Photosynthetic Cyanobacteria can be used as a chassis for different synthetic biology approaches. However, quantitative comparison of tools engineering, such those heterologous gene expression, is often not available. Here, we report the comparative quantification protein production in Synechococcussp.PCC 7002 regarding expression cassettes and locations foreign integration using sf-GFP reporte...

Over the past two decades, prokaryotic expression systems have been widely exploited for the bioproduction of many therapeutic proteins. Much of the success can be attributed to the implementation of basic principles of prokaryotic protein translation and protein folding to the problems of heterologous expression (e.g. codon usage substitutions, tRNA isoacceptor co-expression, chaperone co-expr...

Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...

BACKGROUND Heterologous expression of bacterial biosynthetic gene clusters is currently an indispensable tool for characterizing biosynthetic pathways. Development of an effective, general heterologous expression system that can be applied to bioprospecting from metagenomic DNA will enable the discovery of a wealth of new natural products. METHODOLOGY We have developed a new Escherichia coli-...
