Molecular chaperones, folding catalysts, and the recovery of active recombinant proteins fromE. coli
Jeffrey G. Thomas Amanda Ayling François Baneyx 《Applied biochemistry and biotechnology》1997,66(3):197-238
The high-level expression of recombinant gene products in the gramnegative bacteriumEscherichia coli often results in the misfolding of the protein of interest and its subsequent degradation by cellular proteases or its deposition
into biologically inactive aggregates known as inclusion bodies. It has recently become clear that in vivo protein folding
is an energy-dependent process mediated by two classes of folding modulators. Molecular chaperones, such as the DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE
and GroEL-GroES systems, suppress off-pathway aggregation reactions and facilitate proper folding through ATP-coordinated
cycles of binding and release of folding intermediates. On the other hand, folding catalysts (foldases) accelerate rate-limiting
steps along the protein folding pathway such as thecis/trans isomerization of peptidyl-prolyl bonds and the formation and reshuffling of disulfide bridges. Manipulating the cytoplasmic
folding environment by increasing the intracellular concentration of all or specific folding modulators, or by inactivating
genes encoding these proteins, holds great promise in facilitating the production and purification of heterologous proteins.
Purified folding modulators and artificial systems that mimic their mode of action have also proven useful in improving the
in vitro refolding yields of chemically denatured polypeptides. This review examines the usefulness and limitations of molecular
chaperones and folding catalysts in both in vivo and in vitro folding processes. 相似文献
