## Abstract The overexpression of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) and of many other heterologous membrane proteins in simple microbial hosts, such as the bacterium __Escherichia coli__, often results in protein mistargeting, aggregation into inclusion bodies or cytoplasmic degradation. Furtherm
