  • METHOD FOR ENHANCING WATER SOLUBILITY OF TARGET PROTEIN BY WHEP DOMAIN FUSION
    Publication number: 20230041904
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein for enhancing expression efficiency of a target protein. More specifically, the present invention relates to a glutamyl-prolyl-tRNA synthetase from human (hEPRS) WHEP domain (including WHEP domains TRS-1, TRS-2, and TRS-3 which locate at middle sites of the EPRS protein, and linkers connecting the three domains therethrough). When used as a fusion protein for expressing a target protein in E. coli, the hEPRS WHEP domain according to the present invention enhanced water solubility of the target protein.
