Recombinant protein is often expressed as non-functional and aggregated form by protein misfolding in E. coli. Protein folding occurs co-translational and reaches a thermodynamically metastable conformation through guiding partially folded intermediates during translation process. Protein folding structure is related with protein synthesis rate regulated by translation initiation rate and elongation rate. To functional heterologous expression of recombinant proteins, ribosome traffic could be controlled to optimize for expression of functional recombinant protein. We constructed a genetic circuit to control translation initiation and elongation rates and consequently ribosome traffic can be controlled during translation process. Using this genetic circuit controlling ribosome traffic, wild type GFP and human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) were functionally and solubly expressed in E. coli without modifying the primary structure. It indicates that controlling the ribosome traffic is useful for functionally expressing the recombinant protein by guiding them into native folding states and can be universal approach for functional expression of various recombinant proteins.
