Factors Affecting Inducible Expression of Outer Membrane Protein A (OmpA) of Shigella dysenteriae Type-1 in Lactococcus lactis Using Nisin Inducible Controlled Expression (NICE).

ABSTRACT: Potential use of Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis) as a heterologous protein expression host as well as for delivery of multiple therapeutic proteins has been investigated extensively using Nisin Inducible Controlled Expression (NICE) system. Optimum inducible expression of heterologous protein by NICE system in L. lactis depends on multiple factors. To study the unexplored role of factors affecting heterologous protein expression in L. lactis using NICE, the present study outlines the optimization of various key parameters such as inducer concentration, host's proteases and precipitating agent using Outer membrane protein A (OmpA). For efficient expression and secretion of OmpA, pSEC:OmpA vector was successfully constructed. To circumvent the troubles encountered during detection of expresse
