To elucidate the effects of codon optimization and chaperone coexpression on the heterologous expression of mammalian cytochrome P450s (P450) in Escherichia coli, the expression of P450s 2B1, 2S1, 2U1, 2W1, and 27C1 were investigated. With codon optimization for N-terminus or the entire gene, the expression levels of P450 27C1, 2U1 and 2W1 increased 22-fold, 3.6-fold and 2.1-fold, respectively, while those for P450s 2B1 and 2S1 remained unchanged. With coexpression of E. coli molecular chaperones GroEL/ES, the expression level increased up to 14-fold for P450 27C1, and 3- to 5-fold for P450s 2B1, 2S1, and 2W1. Simultaneous application of these two techniques resulted in synergetic effects.
为阐明密码子优化和伴侣共表达对哺乳动物细胞色素P450(P450)在大肠杆菌中异源表达的影响,研究了P450 2B1、2S1、2U1、2W1和27C1的表达情况。对N端或整个基因进行密码子优化后,P450 27C1、2U1和2W1的表达水平分别提高了22倍、3.6倍和2.1倍,而P450 2B1和2S1的表达水平保持不变。与大肠杆菌分子伴侣GroEL/ES共表达时,P450 27C1的表达水平提高了14倍,P450 2B1、2S1和2W1的表达水平提高了3至5倍。同时应用这两种技术产生了协同效应。
