제목 Enhancement of mussel-originated silk-like protein expression using baculoviral polyhedron
초록 Recombinant spider and silkworm have been studied as silk materials for several decades. Even though bees and ants have been focused as new silk-bearing organisms, the research for silk proteins from other organisms is rare. Especially, there is no precedent about silk-like proteins from marine organisms. Comparing with the silk genes from spider and silkworm, we found that marine mussel has silk-like gene that consists of many repeats with abundance of glycine and alanine. We designed mussel-derived silk gene which contains alternating repeated (hydrophobic) and non-repeated regions. Because we observed prominent retardation of cell growth by expression of mussel silk-like protein, fusion strategy with the baculoviral polyhedrin was used to induce insoluble expression of target silk protein. Finally, we could express the mussel silk-like proteins as insoluble form with high cell growth.
