Improvement of Heterologous Soluble Expression of L-amino Acid Oxidase Using Logistic Regression.

Successful implementation of enzymes in practical application hinges on the development of efficient mass production techniques. However, in a heterologous expression system, the protein is often unable to fold correctly and, thus, forms inclusion bodies, resulting in the loss of its original activity. In this study, we present a new and more accurate model for predicting amino acids associated with an increased L-amino acid oxidase (LAO) solubility. Expressing LAO from Rhizoctonia solani in Escherichia coli and combining random mutagenesis and statistical logistic regression, we modified 108 amino acid residues by substituting hydrophobic amino acids with serine and hydrophilic amino acids with alanine. Our results indicated that specific mutations in Euclidean distance, glycine, methionine, and secondary structure increased LAO expression. Furthermore, repeated mutations were performed for LAO based on logistic regression models. The mutated LAO displayed a significantly increased solubility, with the 6-point and 58-point mutants showing a 2.64- and 4.22-fold increase, respectively, compared with WT-LAO. Ultimately, using recombinant LAO in the biotransformation of α-keto acids indicates its great potential as a biocatalyst in industrial production.

Semiautomated design and soluble expression of a chimeric antigen TbpAB01 from Glaesserella parasuis.

Pathogenic bacterial membrane proteins (MPs) are a class of vaccine and antibiotic development targets with widespread clinical application. However, the inherent hydrophobicity of MPs poses a challenge to fold correctly in living cells. Herein, we present a comprehensive method to improve the soluble form of MP antigen by rationally designing multi-epitope chimeric antigen (ChA) and screening two classes of protein-assisting folding element. The study uses a homologous protein antigen as a functional scaffold to generate a ChA possessing four epitopes from transferrin-binding protein A of Glaesserella parasuis. Our engineered strain, which co-expresses P17 tagged-ChA and endogenous chaperones groEL-ES, yields a 0.346 g/L highly soluble ChA with the property of HPS-positive serum reaction. Moreover, the protein titer of ChA reaches 4.27 g/L with >90% soluble proportion in 5-L bioreactor, which is the highest titer reported so far. The results highlight a timely approach to design and improve the soluble expression of MP antigen in industrially viable applications.

Soluble expression of recombinant human interleukin-2 in Escherichia coli and its facile production.

Recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) represents one of the most difficult-to-produce cytokines in E. coli due to its extreme hydrophobicity and high tendency to formation of inclusion bodies. Refolding of rhIL-2 inclusion bodies always represents cumbersome downstream processes and low production efficiency. Herein, we disclosed a fusion strategy for efficiently soluble expression and facile production of rhIL-2 in E. coli Origami B (DE3) host. A two-tandem SUMO fusion partner (His-2SUMO) with a unique SUMO protease cleavage site at C-terminus was devised to fuse with the N-terminus of rhIL-2 and the fusion protein (His-2SUMO-rhIL-2) was almost completely expressed in a soluble from. The fusion partner could be efficiently removed by Ulp1 cleavage and the rhIL-2 was simply produced by a two-step Ni-NTA affinity chromatography with a considerable purity and whole recovery. The eventually obtained rhIL-2 was well-characterized and the results showed that the purified rhIL-2 exhibits a compact and ordered structure. Although the finally obtained rhIL-2 exists in a soluble aggregates form and the aggregation probably has been occurred during expression stage, the soluble rhIL-2 aggregates remain exhibit comparable bioactivity with the commercially available rhIL-2 drug formulation.

A "Pro-Asp-Thr" Amino Acid Repeat from Vibrio sp. QY108 Alginate Lyase Exhibits Alginate-Binding Capacity and Enhanced Soluble Expression and Thermostability.

Alginate lyases cleave the 1,4-glycosidic bond of alginate by eliminating sugar molecules from its bond. While earlier reported alginate lyases were primarily single catalytic domains, research on multi-module alginate lyases has been lfiguimited. This study identified VsAly7A, a multi-module alginate lyase present in Vibrio sp. QY108, comprising a "Pro-Asp-Thr(PDT)" fragment and two PL-7 catalytic domains (CD I and CD II). The "PDT" fragment enhances the soluble expression level and increases the thermostability and binding affinity to the substrate. Moreover, CD I exhibited greater catalytic efficiency than CD II. The incorporation of PDT-CD I resulted in an increase in the optimal temperature of VsAly7A, whereas CD II displayed a preference for polyG degradation. The multi-domain structure of VsAly7A provides a new idea for the rational design of alginate lyase, whilst the "PDT" fragment may serve as a fusion tag in the soluble expression of recombinant proteins.

Prokaryotic Expression, Purification, and Antibacterial Activity of the Hepcidin Peptide of Crescent Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus cinctus).

The hepcidin peptide of crescent sweetlips (Plectorhinchus cinctus) is a cysteine-rich, cationic antimicrobial peptide that plays a crucial role in the innate immune system's defense against invading microbes. The aim of this study was to identify the optimal parameters for prokaryotic expression and purification of this hepcidin peptide and characterize its antibacterial activity. The recombinant hepcidin peptides were expressed in Escherichia coli strain Arctic Express (DE3), with culture and induction conditions optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The obtained hepcidin peptides were then purified before tag cleavage, and their antibacterial activity was determined. The obtained results revealed that induction temperature had the most significant impact on the production of soluble recombinant peptides. The optimum induction conditions were determined to be an isopropylthio-ß-galactoside (IPTG) concentration of 0.21 mmol/L, induction temperature of 18.81 °C, and an induction time of 16.01 h. Subsequently, the recombinant hepcidin peptide was successfully purified using Ni-IDA affinity chromatography followed by SUMO protease cleavage. The obtained hepcidin peptide (without His-SUMO tag) demonstrated strong antimicrobial activity in vitro against V. parahaemolyticus, E. coli, and S. aureus. The results showed prokaryotic (E. coli) expression is a feasible way to produce the hepcidin peptide of crescent sweetlips in a cost-effective way, which has great potential to be used as an antimicrobial agent in aquaculture.

Improving the soluble expression of difficult-to-express proteins in prokaryotic expression system via protein engineering and synthetic biology strategies.

Solubility and folding stability are key concerns for difficult-to-express proteins (DEPs) restricted by amino acid sequences and superarchitecture, resolved by the precise distribution of amino acids and molecular interactions as well as the assistance of the expression system. Therefore, an increasing number of tools are available to achieve efficient expression of DEPs, including directed evolution, solubilization partners, chaperones, and affluent expression hosts, among others. Furthermore, genome editing tools, such as transposons and CRISPR Cas9/dCas9, have been developed and expanded to construct engineered expression hosts capable of efficient expression ability of soluble proteins. Accounting for the accumulated knowledge of the pivotal factors in the solubility and folding stability of proteins, this review focuses on advanced technologies and tools of protein engineering, protein quality control systems, and the redesign of expression platforms in prokaryotic expression systems, as well as advances of the cell-free expression technologies for membrane proteins production.

Detection of concentration-dependent conformational changes in SARS-CoV-2 nucleoprotein by agarose native gel electrophoresis.

The nucleoprotein (NP) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is abundantly expressed during infection, making it a diagnostic target protein. We analyzed the structure of the NP in solution using a recombinant protein produced in E. coli. A codon-optimized Profinity eXact™-tagged NP cDNA was cloned into pET-3d vector and transformed into E. coli T7 Express. The recombinant protein was first purified via chromatographic step using an affinity tag-based system that was followed by tag cleavage with sodium fluoride, resulting in proteolytic removal of the N-terminal tag sequence. The digested sample was then loaded directly onto a size exclusion chromatography run in the presence of L-Arg-HCl, resulting in removal of host nucleic acids and endotoxin. The molecular mass of the main NP fraction was determined by mass photometry as a dimeric form of NP, consistent with the blue native PAGE results. Interestingly, analysis of the purified NP by our newly developed agarose native gel electrophoresis revealed that it behaved like an acidic protein at low concentration despite its alkaline isoelectric point (theoretical pI = 10) and displayed a unique character of concentration-dependent charge and shape changes. This study should shed light into the behavior of NP in the viral life cycle.

Chaperone-mediated production of active homodimer human bone morphogenetic protein - 2 in E. coli.

Human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP-2) plays a leading role in the process of osteogenesis and is one of the key components of osteoplastic materials, ensuring their high osteoinduction. In order to obtain a homodimeric form hBMP-2 using the E. coli expression system, a number of problems associated with refolding in vitro and purification from monomer and oligomeric forms must be solved. The developed method for co-expression of the target protein with chaperone proteins makes it possible to obtain the biologically active homodimeric form of hBMP-2 in vivo. Purification with simple ion-exchange sorbents without the use of denaturing reagents affecting the structure of the protein molecule provides a chromatographic purity of the product of at least 97%. The expressed hBMP-2 was identified by Western blotting and the LC-ESI-TOF mass spectrometry confirmed its molecular weight of 26052.72 Da. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that recombinant hBMP-2 has a native secondary structure.

The screening and expression of polysaccharide deacetylase from Caulobacter crescentus and its function analysis.

The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus secretes an adhesive polysaccharide called holdfast, which is the known strongest underwater adhesive in nature. The deacetylase encoded by hfs (holdfast synthesis) H gene is a key factor affecting the adhesion of holdfast. Its structure and function are not yet clear, and whether other polysaccharide deacetylases exist in C. crescentus is still unknown. The screening of both HfsH and its structural analogue as well as their purification from the artificial expression products of Escherichia coli is the first step to clarify these questions. Here, we determined the conserved domains of HfsH via sequence alignment among carbohydrate esterase family 4 enzymes and screened out its structural analogue (CC_2574) in C. crescentus. The recombinant HfsH and CC_2574 were effectively expressed in E. coli. Both of them were purified by chromatography from their corresponding productions in E. coli and were then functionally analyzed. The results indicated that a high deacetylase activity (61.8 U/mg) was observed in recombinant HfsH but not in CC_2574, which suggesting that HfsH might be the irreplaceable gene mediating adhesion of holdfast in C. crescentus. Moreover, the divalent metal ions Zn2+ , Mg2+ , and Mn2+ could promote the activity of recombinant HfsH at the concentration from 0.05 to 1 mM, but inhibit its activity when the concentration exceeds 1 mM. In sum, our study first realized the artificial production of polysaccharide deacetylase HfsH and its structural analogue, and further explored their functions, both of which laid the foundation for the development of new adhesive materials.

Development of oxidoreductases for amino acid quantification and mutagenesis techniques for heterologous soluble expression: screening and selection strategies.

The high stereo- and substrate specificities of enzymes have been utilized for microdetermination of amino acids. Here, I review the discovery of l-Arg oxidase from Pseudomonas sp. TPU 7192, l-Lys oxidase/decarboxylase from Burkholderia sp. AIU 395, and enzymes showing apparent l-His oxidase activity from Achromobacter sp. TPU 5009. I also discuss screening and uses of the selective enzymes for microdetermination of amino acids. In addition, functional modifications of l-amino acid oxidase/monooxygenase from Pseudomonas sp. AIU 813, l-Trp dehydrogenase from Nostoc punctiforme ATCC 29133, and l-Lys ε-oxidase from Marinomonas mediterranea NBRC 103028 by directed evolution are reviewed. Finally, I review the rational identification of aggregation hotspots based on secondary structure and amino acid hydrophobicity-this process enables the wider use of natural enzymes.

Improvement of solubility of phospholipase D from Streptomyces antibioticus in recombinant Escherichia coli and its application for the enzymatic synthesis of a non-natural plasmalogen.

Plasmalogens are a subclass of glycerophospholipids that have a vinyl-ether bond at the sn-1 position and are thought to have several physiological functions. The creation of non-natural plasmalogens with functional groups is desired for the establishment of the prevention of diseases caused by the depletion of plasmalogens. Phospholipase D (PLD) has both hydrolysis and transphosphatidylation activities. In particular, PLD from Streptomyces antibioticus has been investigated extensively due to its high transphosphatidylation activity. However, it has been difficult to stably express recombinant PLD in Escherichia coli and to express it as a soluble protein. In this study, we used the E. coli strain, SoluBL21™, and achieved stable PLD expression from the T7 promoter and increased soluble fraction in the cell. We also improved the purification method of PLD using His-tag at the C terminus. We obtained PLD with ∼730 mU mg-1 protein of specific activity, and the yield was ∼420 mU l-1 culture, corresponding to 76 mU per gram of wet cells. Finally, we synthesized a non-natural plasmalogen with 1,4-cyclohexanediol bound to the phosphate group at the sn-3 position by transphosphatidylation of the purified PLD. This method will contribute to the expansion of the chemical structure library of non-natural plasmalogens.

Heterologous expression of a deacetylase and its application in L-glufosinate preparation.

With potent herbicidal activity, biocatalysis synthesis of L-glufosinate has drawn attention. In present research, NAP-Das2.3, a deacetylase capable of stereoselectively resolving N-acetyl-L-glufosinate to L-glufosinate mined from Arenimonas malthae, was heterologously expressed and characterized. In Escherichia coli, NAP-Das2.3 activity only reached 0.25 U/L due to the formation of inclusive bodies. Efficient soluble expression of NAP-Das2.3 was achieved in Pichia pastoris. In shake flask and 5 L bioreactor fermentation, NAP-Das2.3 activity by recombinant P. pastoris reached 107.39 U/L and 1287.52 U/L, respectively. The optimum temperature and pH for N-acetyl-glufosinate hydrolysis by NAP-Das2.3 were 45 °C and pH 8.0, respectively. The Km and Vmax of NAP-Das2.3 towards N-acetyl-glufosinate were 25.32 mM and 19.23 µmol mg-1 min-1, respectively. Within 90 min, 92.71% of L-enantiomer in 100 mM racemic N-acetyl-glufosinate was converted by NAP-Das2.3. L-glufosinate with high optical purity (e.e.P above 99.9%) was obtained. Therefore, the recombinant NAP-Das2.3 might be an alternative for L-glufosinate biosynthesis.

The Functional Characteristics and Soluble Expression of Saffron CsCCD2.

Crocins are important natural products predominantly obtained from the stigma of saffron, and that can be utilized as a medicinal compound, spice, and colorant with significant promise in the pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 2 (CsCCD2) is a crucial limiting enzyme that has been reported to be responsible for the cleavage of zeaxanthin in the crocin biosynthetic pathway. However, the catalytic activity of CsCCD2 on ß-carotene/lycopene remains elusive, and the soluble expression of CsCCD2 remains a big challenge. In this study, we reported the functional characteristics of CsCCD2, that can catalyze not only zeaxanthin cleavage but also ß-carotene and lycopene cleavage. The molecular basis of the divergent functionality of CsCCD2 was elucidated using bioinformatic analysis and truncation studies. The protein expression optimization results demonstrated that the use of a maltose-binding protein (MBP) tag and the optimization of the induction conditions resulted in the production of more soluble protein. Correspondingly, the catalytic efficiency of soluble CsCCD2 was higher than that of the insoluble one, and the results further validated its functional verification. This study not only broadened the substrate profile of CsCCD2, but also achieved the soluble expression of CsCCD2. It provides a firm platform for CsCCD2 crystal structure resolution and facilitates the synthesis of crocetin and crocins.

GFP fusion promotes the soluble and active expression of a pea actin isoform (PEAc1) in Escherichia coli.

In the present study, we report that a GFP fusion tag facilitated the soluble expression of a pea actin isoform (PEAc1) in E. coli. To investigate the influence of a GFP fusion tag on PEAc1 structure and activity, PEAc1, His-tagged PEAc1 (His-PEAc1), His-tagged GFP (His-GFP), and His-tagged PEAc1 fusion with GFP (His-PEAc1-GFP) were expressed in E. coli. SDS-PAGE and western blot analyses reveal that the solubility of His-PEAc1-GFP was higher than that of PEAc1 and His-PEAc1. The His-PEAc1-GFP and His-GFP fusion proteins were purified from the supernatant of cell homogenate on a Ni-affinity column, and PEAc1 and His-PEAc1 were purified from inclusion bodies. CD spectrum analysis of the four purified proteins indicated that the proportion of α-helix and ß-sheet in PEAc1 was closest to the predicted data in His-PEAc1-GFP (compared with His-PEAc1 or PEAc1). In addition, the actin-associated activities of His-PEAc1-GFP, including polymerization to microfilaments under specific ionic conditions and DNase I inhibition by monomers, were more similar to those of muscle actin (compared with PEAc1 and His-PEAc1). These improvements in PEAc1 solubility and activity are likely the result of correct PEAc1 folding mediated by GFP fusion.

Preparation and self-cleavage of fusion soluble farnesyl diphosphate synthase in E. coli.

Farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) is a crucial protein in terpenoid production. However, its industrial application is limited owing to its low solubility in Escherichia coli. In this study, we focused on ispA encoding FPPS and designed a fusion expression system to reduce inclusion body (IB) formation. Among the chosen fusion tags, the GB1-domain (GB1) exhibited the highest ability to solubilize the recombinant protein. Increased rare tRNA abundance not only improved the GB1-FPPS yield but also increased its soluble level. A "one-step" method for the acquisition of soluble FPPS was also considered. By combining GB1-FPPS expression and Tobacco Etch Virus protease (TEVp) cleavage in vivo, a controllable GB1-FPPS "self-cleavage" system was constructed. Overall, this study provides an efficient approach for obtaining soluble forms of FPPS, which show great potential for use in the soluble expression of other homologous diphosphate synthase.

Production of bioactive recombinant monoclonal antibody fragment in periplasm of Escherichia coli expression system.

The microbial expression system (Escherichia coli) is the most widely studied host for the production of biotherapeutic products, such as antibody fragments, single chain variable fragments and nanobodies. However, recombinant biotherapeutic proteins are often expressed as insoluble proteins, thereby limiting the utility of E. coli as expression system. To overcome this limitation, various strategies have been developed, such as changes at DNA level (codon optimization), fusion with soluble tags and variations in process parameters (temperature), and inducer concentration. However, there is no "one size fits all" strategy. The most commonly used approach involves induction at low temperature, as reducing the temperature during cultivation has been reported to increase bioactive protein production in E. coli. In this study, we examine the impact of various process parameters, such as temperature and inducer concentration, as well as, high plasmid copy number vector for achieving enhanced soluble expression of TNFα inhibitor Fab. An interaction amongst these parameters has been observed and their optimization has been demonstrated to result in expression of 30 ± 3 mg/L antibody fragment using E. coli. This case study illustrates how process optimization can contribute toward making biotherapeutics affordable.

Controlling selectivity of modular microbial biosynthesis of butyryl-CoA-derived designer esters.

Short-chain esters have broad utility as flavors, fragrances, solvents, and biofuels. Controlling selectivity of ester microbial biosynthesis has been an outstanding metabolic engineering problem. In this study, we enabled the de novo fermentative microbial biosynthesis of butyryl-CoA-derived designer esters (e.g., butyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, butyl butyrate) in Escherichia coli with controllable selectivity. Using the modular design principles, we generated the butyryl-CoA-derived ester pathways as exchangeable production modules compatible with an engineered chassis cell for anaerobic production of designer esters. We designed these modules derived from an acyl-CoA submodule (e.g., acetyl-CoA, butyryl-CoA), an alcohol submodule (e.g., ethanol, butanol), a cofactor regeneration submodule (e.g., NADH), and an alcohol acetyltransferase (AAT) submodule (e.g., ATF1, SAAT) for rapid module construction and optimization by manipulating replication (e.g., plasmid copy number), transcription (e.g., promoters), translation (e.g., codon optimization), pathway enzymes, and pathway induction conditions. To further enhance production of designer esters with high selectivity, we systematically screened various strategies of protein solubilization using protein fusion tags and chaperones to improve the soluble expression of multiple pathway enzymes. Finally, our engineered ester-producing strains could achieve 19-fold increase in butyl acetate production (0.64 g/L, 96% selectivity), 6-fold increase in ethyl butyrate production (0.41 g/L, 86% selectivity), and 13-fold increase in butyl butyrate production (0.45 g/L, 54% selectivity) as compared to the initial strains. Overall, this study presented a generalizable framework to engineer modular microbial platforms for anaerobic production of butyryl-CoA-derived designer esters from renewable feedstocks.

An Intrinsically Disordered Peptide Tag that Confers an Unusual Solubility to Aggregation-Prone Proteins.

There is a high demand for the production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli for biotechnological applications, but their production is still limited by their insolubility. Fusion tags have been successfully used to enhance the solubility of aggregation-prone proteins; however, smaller and more powerful tags are desired for increasing the yield and quality of target proteins. Here, the NEXT tag, a 53-amino-acid-long solubility enhancer, is described. The NEXT tag showed outstanding ability to improve both in vivo and in vitro solubilities, with minimal effect on passenger proteins. The C-terminal region of the tag was mostly responsible for in vitro solubility, while the N-terminal region was essential for in vivo soluble expression. The NEXT tag appeared to be intrinsically disordered and seemed to exclude neighboring molecules and prevent protein aggregation by acting as an entropic bristle. This novel peptide tag should have general use as a fusion partner to increase the yield and quality of difficult-to-express proteins. IMPORTANCE Production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli still suffers from the insolubility problem. Conventional solubility enhancers with large sizes, represented by maltose-binding protein (MBP), have remained the first-choice tags; however, the success of the soluble expression of tagged proteins is largely unpredictable. In addition, the large tags can negatively affect the function of target proteins. In this work, the NEXT tag, an intrinsically disordered peptide, was introduced as a small but powerful alternative to MBP. The NEXT tag could significantly improve both the expression level and the solubility of target proteins, including a thermostable carbonic anhydrase and a polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-degrading enzyme that are remarkable enzymes for environmental bioremediation.

Soluble expression of bioactive recombinant porcine-human chimeric uricase mutant employing MBP-SUMO fusion system.

Urate oxidase is a promising biological medicine for hyperuricemia treatment, but immunogenicity obstructs the development of its clinical application. The recombinant porcine-human chimeric uricase mutant named dHU-wPU is a humanized chimeric uricase based on wild porcine uricase (wPU), which can effectively reduce the limitation of potential immunogenicity with a high homology (92.76%) to deduced human uricase (dHU). Unfortunately, the insoluble expression form of dHU-wPU in E. coli increases the difficulty of production. In this study, we described a more convenient method to efficiently obtain recombinant dHU-wPU protein from E. coli. Combination small ubiquitin-related modifier protein (SUMO) and maltose-binding protein (MBP) was employed to achieve the soluble expression of dHU-wPU. MBP-SUMO-dHU-wPU fusion protein was not only overexpressed in a soluble form, but also showed high purification and cleavage efficiency. Subsequently, we optimized the culture conditions of shake flasks and expanded the production of MBP-SUMO-dHU-wPU fusion protein in a 5 L bioreactor. Finally, about 15 mg of recombinant dHU-wPU was obtained from 1 L M9 fermentation culture by using two-step affinity chromatography, with a SDS-PAGE purity over 90%. In vitro activity analysis showed that dHU-wPU had better ability to catalyze uric acid than wPU.

Tandem fusion of albumin-binding domains promoted soluble expression and stability of recombinant trichosanthin in vitro and in vivo.

Trichosanthin (TCS), as a type 1 ribosome-inactivating protein, has a very high cytoplasmic activity in vitro and can quickly kill cancer cells. However, it is easily filtered and cleared by the kidney, which results in the short half-life and severely limits its application. In this study, we constructed several recombinant proteins by fusing the albumin binding domain mutant ABD035(abbreviated as ABD) to the N- or C-terminus of TCS to endow the recombinant TCS fusion protein with a longer half-life property binding with endogenous human serum albumin (HSA) via ABD to effectively exert its anti-tumor activity in vivo. Pull down, Dynamic light scattering and ELISA assays all showed that TCS fused with two ABD sequences at the C-terminus of TCS, has stronger binding capacity to HSA in vitro than TCS with one ABD. In vivo studies in BALB/C mice were performed and the elimination half-life of TCS-ABD-ABD is about 15-fold longer compared to TCS and anti-tumor activity is about 30% higher than that of TCS alone in BALB/C mouse experiments. Moreover, we found that TCS with two ABDs in tandem have the highest soluble expression level, more than 5 times higher than that of TCS, and the yield of purified protein of TCS-ABD-ABD was as high as 68.9 mg/L culture solution, which was about 7-fold higher than that of TCS. Furthermore, MTT assay showed that the anti-tumor activity of TCS-ABD-ABD was significantly higher than TCS fused with only one ABD sequence, indicating that the repeated ABD sequences facilitated the biological activity of TCS. In this paper, the fusion of the albumin-binding domain in tandem with TCS can effectively improve its stability in vivo and also significantly increase its soluble expression, expanding the application of the albumin-binding domain in the high soluble expression and stability of protein drugs.
