The simplicity, speed, and low cost of bacterial culture make E. coli the system of choice for most initial trials of recombinant protein expression. However, many heterologous proteins are either poorly expressed in bacteria, or are produced as incorrectly folded, insoluble aggregates that lack the activity of the native protein. In many cases, fusion to a partner protein can allow for improved expression and/or solubility of a difficult target protein. Although several different fusion partners have gained favor, none is universally effective, and identifying the one that best improves soluble expression of a given target protein is an empirical process. This unit presents a strategy for parallel screening of fusion partners for enhanced expression or solubility. The Expresso Solubility and Expression Screening System includes a panel of 7 distinct fusion partners, and utilizes an extremely simple cloning strategy to enable rapid screening and identification of the most effective fusion partner.
