Divergent genetic control of protein solubility and conformational quality in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

In bacteria, protein overproduction results in the formation of inclusion bodies, sized protein aggregates showing amyloid-like properties such as seeding-driven formation, amyloid-tropic dye binding, intermolecular beta-sheet architecture and cytotoxicity on mammalian cells. During protein deposition, exposed hydrophobic patches force intermolecular clustering and aggregation but these aggregation determinants...
