Improvement in the expression of CYP2B6 by co-expression with molecular chaperones GroES/EL in Escherichia coli

Protein Expr Purif. 2006 Apr;46(2):401-5. doi: 10.1016/j.pep.2005.10.017. Epub 2005 Nov 9.

Abstract

Improvement of CYP2B6 expression was examined by co-expression with molecular chaperones GroES/EL. Although a CO-reduced difference spectrum was not detected in Escherichia coli transformed only by the CYP2B6-expressing vector, co-expression of GroES/EL resulted in high-level expression which reached over 2000 nmol P450/L. CYP2B6 was purified from the E. coli membrane with a high yield. Purified CYP2B6 showed 7-ethoxy-4-trifluoromethylcoumarin O-deethylase activity in a reconstitution system. This expression system would be useful for the production of large amounts of active CYP2B6 and for the detailed analysis of the enzyme.
