Construction of a High-Expression System in Bacillus through Transcriptomic Profiling and Promoter Engineering.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus subtilis is an ideal host for secretion and expression of foreign proteins. The promoter is one of the most important elements to facilitate the high-level production of recombinant protein. To expand the repertoire of strong promoters for biotechnological applications in Bacillus species, 14 highly transcribed genes based on transcriptome profiling of B. pumilus BA06 were selected and evaluated for their promoter strength in B. subtilis. Consequently, a strong promoter P2069 was obtained, which could drive the genes encoding alkaline protease (aprE) and green fluorescent protein (GFP) to express more efficiency by an increase of 3.65-fold and 18.40-fold in comparison with the control promoter (PaprE), respectively. Further, promoter engineering was applied to P2069, leading to a
