Abstract
ABSTRACT
We describe the development of a novel protein expression system based on the industrial fermentation organism
Ralstonia eutropha
(formerly known as
Alcaligenes eutrophus
) NCIMB 40124. This new system overcomes some of the shortcomings of traditional
Escherichia coli
-based protein expression systems, particularly the propensity of such systems to form inclusion bodies during high-level expression. Using a proteomics approach, we identified promoters that can be induced by simple process parameters or medium compositions in high-density cell culture or shake flasks, respectively. By combining newly developed molecular biological tools with a high-cell-density fermentation process, we were able to produce high levels (>1 g/liter) of soluble, active organophosphohydrolase, a model enzyme prone to inclusion body formation in
E. coli
.
