Abstract

Abstract Background: Escherichia coli host has been the workhorse for the production of heterol-ogous proteins due to simplicity of use, low cost, availability of various expression vectors, and a plethora of knowledge on its genetic characteristics, but without a suitable signal sequence, this host cannot be used for the production of secretory proteins. Humulin is a form of insulin used to treat hyperglycemia caused by types 1 and 2 diabetes. To improve expression and make a straight-forward production of Humulin protein, we chose a series of signal peptides. Objective: The aim of this study was to predict the most excellent signal peptides to express secre-tory Humulin in E. coli organism. Methods: Therefore, to forecast the most excellent signal peptides for expression of Humulin in Escherichia coli, 47 signal sequences from bacteria organisms were elected and the most impera-tive elements of them were studied. Hence, signal peptide probability along with physicochemical features was evaluated by signal 4.1, and Portparam, PROSO II servers respectively. Later, the in--silico cloning in a known pET28a plasmid system also estimated the possibility of best signal pep-tide+Humulin expression in E. coli. Results: The outcomes demonstrated that among 47 signal peptides only 2 signal peptides can be considered as suitable signal peptides. Conclusion: Ultimately protein yebF precursor (YEBF_ECOLI) and protein yebF precursor (YEBF_YERP3) were suggested as the most excellent signal peptides to express Humulin (With D scores 0.812 and 0.623, respectively). Although verification of these results warrants experimental analysis. © 2021 Bentham Science Publishers
