title: Different PrlA proteins increase the efficiency of periplasmic production of human interleukin-6 in Escherichia coli.
abstract: The export efficiency of a fusion of the Escherichia coli preOmpA signal peptide to human interleukin-6 can be significantly raised by coexpressing three different prlA alleles of sec Y along with wild type secE. The effect seems prlA-specific, as prlG1 (a prl allele of secE) does not affect the export of preOmpA-hIL-6. Coexpression of secD and secF also stimulates the export of the fusion protein.
