Physicochemical Characteristics of a Variant of Chaperon GroEL Apical Domain Designed to Enhance the Expression and Stability of Target Proteins

Abstract: This work describes the properties of a new protein, a modification of GroEL apical domain designed to be a leader in fusion systems. This polypeptide leader demonstrates a high level of expression in a bacterial system; it is soluble and retains its solubility during standard biochemical manipulations. The secondary structure of the protein and its thermostability, as well as the protein solubility, were studied in a wide temperature range. To simplify the subsequent purification of the target protein, the possibility of its chemical cleavage from the fused protein by methionine residues with cyanogen bromide is provided. © 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
