Background: PrsA is an extracytoplasmic folding catalyst essential in Bacillus subtilis. Overexpression of the native PrsA from B. subtilis has repeatedly lead to increased amylase yields. Nevertheless, little is known about how the overexpression of heterologous PrsAs can affect amylase secretion.
Results: In this study, the final yield of five extracellular alpha-amylases was increased by heterologous PrsA co-expression up to 2.5 fold. The effect of the overexpression of heterologous PrsAs on alpha-amylase secretion is specific to the co-expressed alpha-amylase. Co-expression of a heterologous PrsA can significantly reduce the secretion stress response. Engineering of the B. licheniformis PrsA lead to a further increase in amylase secretion and reduced secretion stress.
Conclusions: In this work we show how heterologous PrsA overexpression can give a better result on heterologous amylase secretion than the native PrsA, and that PrsA homologs show a variety of specificity towards different alpha-amylases. We also demonstrate that on top of increasing amylase yield, a good PrsA-amylase pairing can lower the secretion stress response of B. subtilis. Finally, we present a new recombinant PrsA variant with increased performance in both supporting amylase secretion and lowering secretion stress.

Diseases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) produce a great impact on public health, killing about one million people annually despite available vaccines. Recent research has revealed that the pneumococcus produces extracellular vesicles (pEVs), which display selective cargo and hold potential for vaccine development. Here, we evaluated the immunogenicity and protective potential of pEVs derived from a non-encapsulated pneumococcal strain (R6) using murine models of pneumococcal colonization and invasive pneumonia.

Achieving commercially significant yields of recombinant proteins in requires the optimization of its protein production pathway, including transcription, translation, folding, and secretion. Therefore, in this study, our aim was to maximize the secretion of a reporter α-amylase by overcoming potential bottlenecks within the secretion process one by one, using a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-Cas9 (CRISPR-Cas9) system. The strength of single and tandem promoters was evaluated by measuring the relative α-amylase activity of AmyQ integrated into the chromosome.

The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as heterologous hosts for the expression of MPB70 and MPB83, two Mycobacterium bovis antigens that possess diagnostics and immunogenic properties, respectively. We therefore generated recombinant cells of Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum that carried hybrid genes encoding MPB70 and MPB83 fused to signal peptides that are specifically recognized by LAB.
