Bacterial Inclusion Body

Bacterial Inclusion Body (IB) ·          Inclusion body (IBs) are partially folded protein aggregate. When level of expression of protein goes beyond 2% of the total cellular proteins it leads to formation of inclusion body. It  contains mostly single type   polypeptides and very little amount of host protein components, DNA and RNA fragments. ·         IBs are found in cytoplasm, if secretion signal used it can produces in periplasm also. ·         IBs are formed due to overexpression of heterologous protein, which are unable to solubilize in  cytoplasm and form aggregates.           ·         Bacterial cytoplasm having reduced environment hence di-sulfide bonds of proteins are not formed and proteins remain unfolded/partial folded.     ·         Protein in IBs have native like secondary st...
