the bacterial production of recombinant rat calpain II is improved greatly by the use of two compatible plasmids for the two subunits. The calpain small subunit C-terminal fragment is expressed from a new A15-based vector created by cloning T7 contol elements into pACYC177. This vector is compatible with the ColE1-based pET-24d(+) vector containing the calpain large subunit and the yield of calpain activity is increased at least 16fold by coexpression from theses two vectors. A high level of activity is also obtained from a bicistronic construct containing the subunit cDNAs under the control of one T7 promoter | Rattus norvegicus |
