Abstract

Eukaryotic proteins are frequently produced in Escherichia coli as insoluble aggregates. This is one of the barriers to studies of macromolecular structure. We have examined the effect of coproduction of the E. coli thioredoxin (Trx) or E. coli chaperones GroESL on the solubility of various foreign proteins. The solubilities of all eight vertebrate proteins examined including transcription factors and kinases were increased dramatically by coproduction of Trx. Overproduction of E. coli chaperones GroESL increased the solubilities of four out of eight proteins examined. Although the tyrosine kinase Lck that was produced as an insoluble form and solubilized by urea treatment had a very low autophosphorylating activity, Lck produced in soluble form by coproduction of Trx had an efficient activity. These results suggest that the proteins produced in soluble form by coproduction of Trx have the native protein conformation. The mechanism by which coproduction of Trx increases the solubility of the foreign proteins is discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
