Improving heterologous membrane protein production in Escherichia coli by combining transcriptional tuning and codon usage algorithms.

High-level, recombinant production of membrane-integrated proteins in Escherichia coli is extremely relevant for many purposes, but has also been proven challenging. Here we study a combination of transcriptional fine-tuning in E. coli LEMO21(DE3) with different codon usage algorithms for heterologo...
