  • Publication number: 20120190064
    Abstract: Compositions, methods and kits for in vitro systems for synthesis of biomolecules such as polypeptides, are provided herein. Cell extracts that provide enhanced yields of soluble proteins using in vitro protein synthesis methods are provided. The invention also includes methods for producing high yields of proteins by the addition of a feeding solution that includes amino acids and an energy source to an ongoing in vitro synthesis system. The invention also includes methods of using a high-yield in vitro synthesis system to produce large quantities of proteins with incorporated labeled amino acids for analysis by methods such as by NMR. The invention further includes vectors for enhanced production of proteins from nucleic acid templates using in vitro synthesis systems.

  • Publication number: 20110195450
    Abstract: In vitro protein synthesis systems and methods are provided that produce membrane proteins in soluble form. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of synthesizing proteins using in vitro protein synthesis systems that include an apolipoprotein, in which higher yields of soluble protein are produced than in the absence of the apolipoprotein. Apolipoproteins useful in the present invention include naturally occurring apolipoproteins, as well as sequence variants of wild-type apolipoproteins, and engineered apolipoproteins. The apolipoproteins can be provided in an in vitro protein synthesis system associated with lipid or not associated with lipid. The invention also provides compositions and kits for synthesis of proteins in soluble form, in which the compositions and kits include cell extracts for protein translation and at least one apolipoprotein biomolecule.

  • Publication number: 20110104781
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for producing a protein of interest that is typically not amenable to expression in soluble form in in vitro expression systems. In some aspects, the invention provides methods of synthesizing proteins using in vitro protein synthesis systems that include a scaffold protein such as apolipoprotein or an amphipathic alpha helix containing (“AAHC”) protein, in which higher yields of soluble protein are produced than in the absence of the scaffold protein. The scaffold proteins may be provided in an in vitro protein synthesis system associated with lipid or not associated with lipid. The scaffold protein may be provided as a protein per se or may be encoded by a nucleic acid template and co-expressed with the protein of interest. The invention also provides compositions and kits for synthesis of proteins in soluble form, in which the compositions and kits include cell extracts for protein expression and isolation.
