    Abstract:
    Direct expression of the cytokine receptor homology (CRH) domain of granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor is lethal to Escherichia coli. For the efficient and stable production of an active CRH domain in E. coli, we fused the CRH domain with different proteins, such as maltose-binding protein (MalE), glutathione S-transferase, and thioredoxin (Trx). Among these, Trx appeared to be the best in terms of the protein expression level, purification efficiency by affinity chromatography, and binding activity to its ligand, G-CSF. The yield of active Trx-CRH fusion protein increased about 200-fold compared to that of previously reported MalE-CRH fusion.
