Abstract:
Gene expression technology has made great progress with the continuous developments and researches of molecular biology. Though many systems to produce recombinant proteins have been studied, none of them is available so far to satisfy the needs completely. With the increasing demands of bioactive peptides and protein drugs, expression quantity and correct posttranslational folding and modifications are also needed under the circumstance which can make proteins more close to native conformation and higher activity and stability. Based on our previous work, we summarized the factors affecting the folding and modifications of recombinant proteins correctly from five aspects, including expression system and hosts, secretory expression, coexpression, fusion expression, and the culture conditions, as well as improvement strategies.
