Abstract

AbstractIn this report, we demonstrate that a complex mammalian protein containing multiple disulfide bonds is successfully expressed in an E.coli‐based cell‐free protein synthesis system. Initially, disulfide‐reducing activities in the cell extract prevented the formation of disulfide bonds. However, a simple pretreatment of the cell extract with iodoacetamide abolished the reducing activity. This extract was still active for protein synthesis even under oxidizing conditions. The use of a glutathione redox buffer coupled with the DsbC disulfide isomerase and pH optimization produced 40 μg/mL of active urokinase protease in a simple batch reaction. This result not only demonstrates efficient production of complex proteins, it also emphasizes the control and flexibility offered by the cell‐free approach. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
