Expression of Barley Endopeptidase B in Trichoderma reesei

R Saarelainen, A Mantyla, H Nevalainen, P Suominen
PMCID: PMC1389312  PMID: 16535756

Abstract

The gene for barley endopeptidase B (EPB) has been expressed in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei from the cbh1 promoter. The EPB signal sequence allowed secretion of over 90% of the recombinant protein. Yields reached about 500 mg of immunoreactive protein per liter and exceeded values for any other protein derived from a higher eukaryotic organism produced in T. reesei.
