Development of a generic β-lactamase screening system for improved signal peptides for periplasmic targeting of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli

Abstract Targeting of recombinant proteins to the Escherichia coli periplasm is a desirable industrial processing tool to allow formation of disulphide bonds, aid folding and simplify recovery. Proteins are targeted across the inner membrane to the periplasm by an N-terminal signal peptide. The sequ...
