Overproduction of β-glucosidase in active form by an Escherichia coli system coexpressing the chaperonin GroEL/ES. of special interest FEMS Microbiol Lett. 159:1998;41-46 The expression of recombinant β-glucosidase with coexpression of the GroE system in E. coli was analysed. In the absence of GroE, the recombinant protein was expressed in the insoluble fraction and constituted 80% of the total cellular protein. The coexpression of GroEL/ES leads to a significant fraction of soluble active β-glucosidase, which is even more increased at low induction temperatures.

Differential in vivo roles played by DsbA and DsbC in the formation of protein disulfide bonds. of special interest J Biol Chem. 272:1997;10349-10352 Using a mutant form of alkaline phosphatase, disulfide bond formation in the periplasm of E. coli was investigated. It was observed that in wild-type cells an incorrect disulfide was formed first, which was subsequently converted to the native one. This conversion did not occur in DsbC-disrupted cells. In DsbA-disrupted cells, the disulfide formation was less efficient, but the disulfides formed were predominantly native ones.

Effect of inclusion body contaminants on the oxidative renaturation of hen egg white lysozyme. of special interest Biotechnol Prog. 13:1997;144-150 Non-proteinaceous and protein contaminants were analyzed with respect to their effect on the renaturation of lysozyme. Whereas DNA lipopolysaccharides and phospholipids showed only marginal influence protien, contaminants can cause coaggregation of lysozyme, thus decreasing the yield of renaturation. A kinetic analysis of aggregation and folding is given.
