FimH – Expression of recombinant proteins on the cell surface of bacteria

The expression and production of recombinant proteins in bacteria, such as E. coli is a long standing and well known procedure. However, expression in bacterial systems is limited due to cytoplasmic accumulation of the protein of interest (POI). Even though, various attempts have been made to prevent the accumulation of the desired protein in inclusion bodies, there is still no satisfactory solution available to overcome this problem. The present invention enables the expression of POI on the cell surface of bacteria, thereby preventing the cytoplasmic and periplasmic accumulation.
