Background:

Wheat germ extract (WGE)-based cell-free systems are valuable for eukaryotic protein production.
Traditional WGE systems require separate transcription and translation steps, limiting workflow efficiency.
Optimized cap-independent translation vectors and bilayer formats exist but still involve sequential processes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a streamlined, coupled in vitro transcription-translation (cIVTT) protocol using WGE.
To integrate transcription and translation into a single reaction for improved efficiency.
To assess the cIVTT protocol's effectiveness for high-throughput eukaryotic protein production.

Main Methods:

Development of a bilayer, coupled in vitro transcription-translation (cIVTT) protocol.
Optimization of reaction mixture composition and conditions for the cIVTT system.
Comparison of protein yields with conventional two-step bilayer in vitro translation methods.

Main Results:

Achieved protein yields comparable to the conventional two-step bilayer method.
Demonstrated cIVTT protocol effectiveness at reduced temperatures.
Successfully enhanced production of human cardiac muscle Troponin I (cTnI), a protein with complex folding requirements.

Conclusions:

The cIVTT protocol offers a simplified and time-efficient approach to WGE cell-free protein synthesis.
This method enables microgram-scale protein production suitable for high-throughput applications.
No plasmid linearization is required, further streamlining the workflow.
