When those stress-responsive proteins were used as fusion partners for the expression of human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (hG-CSF), the solubility of hG-CSF was dramatically enhanced in E. We found that these relatively small stress-responsive proteins were highly effective in enhancing the solubility of recombinant hG-CSF when used as fusion partner, which will be discussed next. coli cytoplasm dramatically increased when the stress-responsive proteins were used as fusion partners, indicating that the fusion expression partners were highly effective solubility enhancers.
