Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a useful eukaryotic expression system for mitochondrial membrane proteins due to its ease of growth and ability to provide a native membrane environment. The development of the pBEVY vector system has further increased the potential of S. cerevisiae as an expression system by creating a method for expressing multiple proteins simultaneously. This vector system is amenable to the expression and purification of multi-subunit protein complexes. Here we describe the cloning, yeast transformation, and co-expression of multi-subunit outer mitochondrial membrane complexes using the pBEVY vector system.
酿酒酵母是一种有用的真核表达系统,可用于线粒体膜蛋白,因为其易于生长并且能够提供天然的膜环境。pBEVY 载体系统的开发通过创建一种同时表达多种蛋白质的方法,进一步增加了酿酒酵母作为表达系统的潜力。该载体系统适用于多亚基蛋白复合物的表达和纯化。本文描述了使用 pBEVY 载体系统克隆、酵母转化和多亚基外线粒体膜复合物的共表达。
