Assembly of macromolecular complexes in bacterial and baculovirus expression systems.
Many proteins exist normally as oligomers or complexes with other proteins. Recent advances in vector design have allowed this aspect of protein function to be mimicked in recombinant expression systems. Examples of the ordered oligomerization of a single protein through to the assembly of eight different proteins have been documented in recombinant Escherichia coli and recombinant baculovirus systems.
