We have created a bacterial expression-export system and have used it to express (14 mg l−1) the variable region fragment (Fv) of an anti-digoxin antibody (26-10) inEscherichia coli. The expression-export plasmid contains a T7 promoter and theE. colisignal sequencesompA[Movvaet al., J. biol. Chem.255, 27–29 (1980)] andphoA[Inouyeet al., J. Bacterial.149, 434–439 (1982)] fused to heavy chain (VH) and light chain (VL) variable region sequences to generate an artificial cistron. The 26-10 Fv protein made using this system was soluble, unlike many other expression systems which produce insoluble proteins in the form of inclusion bodies. The 26-10 VHand VLproteins were cleaved at their mature N-termini and exported into the bacterial periplasm where they could be easily extracted and affinity purified on ouabain-Sepharose. 26-10 Fv bound to digoxin with similar affinity and specificity as the whole 26-10 antibody (Ka, for Fv, 1.3 × 109M−1,Kafor IgG, 7 × 109M−1). 26-10 Fv appears to be remarkably stable in comparison with other Fv fragments. The half-life for chain dissociation of 26-10 Fv was 48 hr compared to the reported 1.5 hr half-life of McPC603 Fv. We present the proton NMR spectra of the 26-10 Fv as preliminary evidence that this expression-export system can be used to facilitate the analysis of the solution structure of 26-10 Fv by NMR.
