Design Notes

Maltose Binding Protein and DsbA, the commonly used signal protein which can export proteins fused to it into the periplasmic space, were selected as the candidates for the periplasmic fusion MBPs. According to previous work, Maltose Binging Protein, a SecB dependent protein encoded by the malE gene, conducts the posttranslational export to the periplasmic space.(NOTE: SecB is a chaperone which prevents the large nascent polypeptide from folding into a conformation that would interfere with translocation ).On the other hand, DsbA, a SecA dependent signal protein , can export its C-terminal fusion protein into periplasm on the signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway , which is made up of six proteins and an RNA molecule and directs rapid co-translational translocation of many proteins .Since some protein with a rapid protein folding pathway often assembles into its stable three-dimensional structure before it has a chance to be exported, Maltose Binding Protein thus inevitably suffers from its inefficient posttranslational export . In contrast, DsbA perfectly bypasses such problem due to its cotranslational translocation that obviates the inhibitory effect of protein folding on exportation. Hence DsbA overmatches Maltose Binding Protein with a more efficient and rapid way to export the target protein (for example the metal binding peptide) to the periplasmic space, making it the best choice for the periplasmic design.
