Overexpression of cloned or synthetic genes in Escherichia coli often results in the formation of insoluble protein inclusion bodies. Within the last decade, specific methods and strategies have been developed for preparing active recombinant proteins from these inclusion bodies. Usually, the inclus

β¦ Synopsis
Escherichia coli offers a means for the rapid and economical production of recombinant proteins. These advantages, coupled with a wealth of biochemical and genetic knowledge, have enabled the production of such economically sensitive products as insulin and bovine growth hormone. Although significant progress has been made in transcription, translation and secretion, one of the major challenges is obtaining the product in a soluble and bioactive form. Recent progress in oxidative cytoplasmic folding and cell-free protein synthesis offers attractive alternatives to standard expression methods.

## Abstract A new expression system containing the __Salmonella enterica prpBCDE__ promoter (P~__prpB__~) responsible for expression of the propionate catabolic genes (__prp BCDE__) and __prpR__ encoding the positive regulator of this promoter has been developed and tested. The main features of the
Absstract: Maintaining a metabolically productive state for recombinant Escherichia coli remains a central problem for a wide variety of growth-dependent biosynthesis. This problem becomes particularly acute under conditions of minimal cell growth such as fed-batch fermentations. In this, we investi
The export of protein from Escherichia coli has been studied by genetic, biochemical and biophysical techniques. These studies have defined a number of steps in the export pathway and have identified the cellular components required for the translocation process. New information is presented on the
A genetic strategy to enhance recombinant protein production is discussed. A small DNA bending protein, Fis, which has been shown to activate rRNA synthesis upon a nutrient upshift, was overexpressed in E. coli strain W3110 carrying vector pUCR1. Overexpres- sion of Fis during exponential growth was
