Abstract excerpt
We improved the DnaK molecular chaperone system for increased folding efficiency towards two target proteins, by using a multi-parameter screening procedure. First, we used a folding-deficient C-terminal truncated chloramphenicol acetyl transferase (CAT_Cd9) to obtain tunable selective pressure for enhanced DnaK chaperon function in vivo. Second, we screened selected clones in vitro for CAT_Cd9 activity after...
