TLDR
The concept that expression levels of 'Misticated' membrane proteins are related to the independent chaperoning character of Mistic via direct membrane association, rather than related to specific sequence-dependent interaction with the E. coli translocon machinery is supported.

Recombinant protein expression and purification: A comprehensive review of affinity tags and microbial applications

TL;DR: This review serves as an excellent literature reference for those working on protein fusion tags and provides summaries of well‐characterized purification strategies that have been used to increase product yields and have widespread application in many areas of biotechnology including drug discovery, therapeutics, and pharmacology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Strategies to optimize protein expression in E. coli.

TL;DR: This overview describes variables at each stage of a protein expression experiment that can influence solubility and offers a summary of strategies used to optimize soluble expression in E. coli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacterial-based membrane protein production

TL;DR: This work has shown that E. coli strains with strongly improved membrane protein production characteristics can be engineered or selected for, and many membrane proteins can be efficiently produced in E. Escherichia coli-based cell-free systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revolutionizing membrane protein overexpression in bacteria

TL;DR: The bacterium Escherichia coli is the most widely used expression host for overexpression trials of membrane proteins, and recent studies have shown that it is feasible to engineer or select for E. coli strains with strongly improved membrane protein overextression characteristics.

Genome-wide analysis of integral membrane proteins from eubacterial, archaean, and eukaryotic organisms

TL;DR: Detailed statistical analyses of integral membrane proteins of the helix‐bundle class from eubacterial, archaean, and eukaryotic organisms for which genome‐wide sequence data are available suggest that uni‐cellular organisms appear to prefer proteins with 6 and 12 transmembrane segments, whereas Caenorhabditis elegans and Homo sapiens have a slight preference for proteins with seven transmemBRane segments.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-ray structure of a protein-conducting channel

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the Sec61 or SecY complex from Methanococcus jannaschii suggests mechanisms for signal-sequence recognition and for the lateral exit of transmembrane segments of nascent membrane proteins into lipid, and indicates binding sites for partners that provide the driving force for translocation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protein translocation across the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum and bacterial plasma membranes

TL;DR: Structural, genetic and biochemical data show how the channel opens across the membrane, releases hydrophobic segments of membrane proteins laterally into lipid, and maintains the membrane barrier for small molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of a complex of the ATPase SecA and the protein-translocation channel.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of SecA bound to the SecY complex, with a maximum resolution of 4.5 ångström (Å), obtained for components from Thermotoga maritima, shows that one copy ofSecA in an intermediate state of ATP hydrolysis is bound to one molecule of theSecY complex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of the tetramerization domain of the Shaker potassium channel

TL;DR: Most highly conserved amino acids in the T1 domain of all known potassium channels are found in the core of the protein, indicating a common structural framework for the tetramer assembly.
