With the rapid development of cell-free biotechnology, more and more cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) systems have been established and optimized for protein expression in vitro. Here, we aim to improve the productivity of a newly developed Streptomyces-based CFPS system. Protein translation in CFPS systems depends on the entire endogenous translation system from cell lysates. However, lysates might lack such translation-related elements, limiting the efficiency of protein translation and therefore the productivity of CFPS systems. To address this limitation, we sought to add protein translation related factors to CFPS reactions. By doing this, the protein yield of EGFP was significantly improved up to approximately 400 μg/mL. In this chapter, we mainly describe the preparation of Streptomyces cell extracts, expression and purification of nine translation related factors, and optimization of the Streptomyces-based CFPS system for enhanced protein expression.
随着无细胞生物技术的迅速发展,越来越多的无细胞蛋白质合成(CFPS)系统已被建立并优化用于体外蛋白质表达。在此,我们旨在提高新开发的基于链霉菌的CFPS系统的生产力。CFPS系统中的蛋白质翻译依赖于细胞裂解物中的整个内源性翻译系统。然而,裂解物可能缺乏此类与翻译相关的元件,这限制了蛋白质翻译的效率,进而限制了CFPS系统的生产力。为了解决这一限制,我们试图向CFPS反应中添加与蛋白质翻译相关的因子。通过这样做,增强绿色荧光蛋白(EGFP)的蛋白质产量显著提高,高达约400μg/mL。在本章中,我们主要描述链霉菌细胞提取物的制备、9种与翻译相关因子的表达和纯化,以及基于链霉菌的CFPS系统用于增强蛋白质表达的优化。
