This study introduces cold-inducible expression vectors for recombinant protein production. These vectors facilitate efficient protein synthesis at low temperatures, avoiding costly inducers and aggregate formation.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Biology
  • Biotechnology
  • Microbial Genetics

Background:

  • Recombinant protein production often faces challenges like protein aggregation and the high cost of chemical inducers such as isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG).
  • Low-temperature expression is a known strategy to mitigate these issues, improving protein folding and reducing degradation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel expression vectors utilizing a cold-inducible promoter from Bacillus subtilis.
  • To enable both intracellular and extracellular synthesis of recombinant proteins under low-temperature conditions.
  • To assess the efficiency and kinetics of recombinant protein production using these vectors.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of two distinct expression vectors, each incorporating the des promoter from Bacillus subtilis.

  • One vector designed for intracellular recombinant protein synthesis, the other for extracellular secretion.
  • Implementation of a temperature downshift to 25°C to induce gene expression.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful construction and characterization of both intracellular and extracellular expression vectors.
    • Recombinant protein production initiated rapidly within 30 minutes of the temperature downshift to 25°C.
    • Sustained protein synthesis for approximately 5 hours post-induction, demonstrating a viable cold-inducible system.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Bacillus subtilis des promoter-based vectors provide an effective cold-inducible system for recombinant protein production.
    • This approach offers a cost-effective alternative by avoiding expensive inducers like IPTG and minimizing protein aggregate formation.
    • The system allows for controlled, timely synthesis of recombinant proteins, suitable for both intracellular and extracellular applications.
