Prokaryotic Expression Systems
• E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus carnosus, Streptomyces lividans
• Prokaryotic promoter—ribosome binding site—MCS—transcription termination site
• Prokaryotic selectable marker

Potential Problems in Prokaryotic Expression Systems
• Low expression• Degradation by bacterial proteases• Improper folding• Oxygen limitations• Biofilm formation

Fusion proteins• Used to avoid problems with digestion of foreign proteins by proteases• Used to aid purification of foreign proteins, often by affinity chromatography• Often a rare protease cut site is added to the fusion partner

Protein Secretion• Requires a bacterial signal peptide sequence• In gram negative bacteria like E. coli, the protein is secreted to the
periplasmic space, as opposed to the media in gram positive bacteria• Secretion affords some degree of protection against bacterial proteases

Eukaryotic Expression Systems
• Unlike prokaryotic expression systems, allow for posttranslational modification (PTM) of proteins (e.g., glycosylation, phosphorylation, hydroxylation, disulfide bond formation, processing of propeptides)
