Effects of recombinant protein expression on green fluorescent protein diffusion in Escherichia coli.

ABSTRACT: Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching was used to measure the diffusion coefficient of green fluorescent protein (GFP, 27 kDa) in Escherichia coli in the presence or absence of four coexpressed proteins: cytoplasmic maltose binding protein (42 kDa), tau-40 (45 kDa), alpha-synuclein (14 kDa), or calmodulin (17 kDa). The GFP diffusion coefficient remains constant regardless of the type of coexpresseed protein and whether or not the coexpressed protein was induced. We conclude that expression of these soluble proteins has little to no effect on the diffusion of GFP. These results have implications for the utility of in-cell nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Project description:The goal of bacterial engineering is to rewire metabolic pathways to generate high-value molecules for various applications. However, the production of recombinant proteins is constrained by the complexity of the connections between cellular physiology and recombinant protein synthesis. Here, we used a rational and highly efficient approach to improve bacterial engineering. Based on the complete genome and annotation information of the Escherichia coli ER2566 strain, we compared the transcriptomic profiles of the strain under leaky expression and low temperature-induced stress. Combining the gene ontology (GO) enrichment terms and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with higher expression, we selected and knocked out 36 genes to determine the potential impact of these genes on protein production. Deletion of bluF, cydA, mngR, and udp led to a significant decrease in soluble recombinant protein production. Moreover, at low-temperature induction, 4 DEGs (gntK, flgH, flgK, flgL) were associated with enhanced expression of the recombinant protein. Knocking out several motility-related DEGs (ER2666-ΔflgH-ΔflgL-ΔflgK) simultaneously improved the protein yield by 1.5-fold at 24 °C induction, and the recombinant strain had the potential to be applied in the expression studies of different exogenous proteins, aiming to improve the yields of soluble form to varying degrees in comparison to the ER2566 strain. Totally, this study focused on the anabolic and stress-responsive hub genes of the adaptation of E. coli to recombinant protein overexpression on the transcriptome level and constructs a series of engineering strains increasing the soluble protein yield of recombinant proteins which lays a solid foundation for the engineering of bacterial strains for recombinant technological advances. KEY POINTS: • Comparative transcriptome analysis shows host responses with altered induction stress. • Deletion of bluF, cydA, mngR, and udp genes was identified to significantly decrease the soluble recombinant protein productions. • Synchronal knockout of flagellar genes in E. coli can enhance recombinant protein yield up to ~ 1.5-fold at 24 °C induction. • Non-model bacterial strains can be re-engineered for recombinant protein expression.
