  • Fluorescent Fusion Based Heterologous Peptide Production
    Publication number: 20230392177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a heterologous polypeptide of interest in a host cell, wherein the method comprises expressing a fusion protein comprising the heterologous polypeptide of interest and a fluorescent fusion partner in a host cell modified to include a nucleic acid encoding a lytic protein operably linked to a promoter, wherein translation of the lytic protein is under control of an RNA thermometer. Also provided are E. coli cells which express the fusion protein and include a nucleic acid encoding a lytic protein operably linked to a promoter, wherein translation of the lytic protein regulated by an RNA thermometer.
