We added a phoA secretion tag to the hEGF gene
Although E. coli Nissle 1917 can slowly secrete the hEGF growth factor, the secretion rate is relatively low, which is not efficient enough for acne treatment. Therefore, we decided to add a phoA secretion tag to the hEGF gene, facilitating the secretion of hEGF into the periplasmic space of E. coli. phoA is a signal peptide that guides newly synthesized proteins towards the secretion pathway. hEGF is the gene responsible for synthesizing hEGF, the human epidermal growth factor. We constructed a plasmid with fused phoA-hEGF gene, transformed it into E. coli, and validated its production and secretion using ELISA and Western Blot.
