High-yield production of secreted active proteins by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type III secretion system

Abstract

The Escherichia coli system is the system of choice for recombinant protein production because it is possible to obtain a high protein yield in inexpensive media. The accumulation of protein in an insoluble form in inclusion bodies remains a major disadvantage. Use of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa type III secretion system can avoid this problem, allowing the production of soluble secreted proteins.
