Non-peptide guided auto-secretion of recombinant proteins by super-folder green fluorescent protein in Escherichia coli

Abstract Protein secretion in Escherichia coli is usually led by a signal peptide that targets the protein to specific secretory pathways. In this study, we demonstrated that the superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) could be served as a non-signal peptide to guide protein auto-secretion in...
