Production of rhGALNS using the promoters tac and proU mod, with two different E. coli strains: BL21(DE3) and SHuffle® T7. (A) Specific activity in the extracellular fraction. (B) Volumetric activity in the extracellular fraction. (C) Specific activity in the intracellular fraction. (D) Volumetric activity in the intracellular fraction. Enzyme activity was assessed 24 hours after induction (no induction was necessary in the case of the promoter proU mod). A Student’s t-test was performed to assess significance, where (*) corresponds to a p-value < 0.05, (***) p-value < 0.001 and (****) p-value < 0.0001. Specific activities are expressed as U rhGALNS/(mg total protein) and volumetric activities as U/ml. (E) Western-blot of rhGALNS levels in the intracellular and extracellular fractions in the different studied conditions. All samples were normalized by the amount of total protein. Non-cropped versions of these figures can be found in the Supplementary Data.
