“…Overproduction of GroESL has proven a highly productive approach to overcoming polypeptide folding problems in E. coli , allowing the soluble production of many recombinant proteins which are otherwise produced exclusively or almost exclusively in inclusion bodies. These include proteins as diverse as human thromboxane synthase [ 60 ], nicotinoprotein formaldehyde dismutase from Pseudomonas putida F61 [ 61 ], human oxygen-regulated protein ORP150 and human lysozyme [ 17 ], a human iron-regulatory protein [ 62 ], a putative bacterial dehydratase [ 63 ], β-glucosidases from Cellovibrio gilvus and Agrobacterium tumefaciens [ 64 ], murine c-Myb, cAMP response element-binding protein 1, p53 tumour suppresor gene product, Xenopus mos proto-oncogene product [ 65 ], bacterial magnesium transporter CorA [ 66 ] and triazine hydrolase from Arthrobacter aurescens TC1 [ 67 ]. A sample of proteins whose total or functional yield in the E. coli cytoplasm is merely increased upon GroESL overproduction, meanwhile, can be found in Table 1 [ 19 , 21 , 36 , 39 , 43 , 58 , 61 , 64 , 68 - 101 ].…”
