  1. Abstract:

    The SHOC2-MRAS-PPP1CA (SMP) complex is a holoenzyme that plays a vital role in the MAP kinase signaling pathway. Previous attempts to produce this challenging three-protein complex have relied on co-infection with multiple viruses and the use of affinity tags to attempt to isolate functional recombinant protein complexes. Leucine-rich repeat containing proteins have been historically challenging to express, and we hypothesized that co-expression of appropriate chaperones may be necessary for optimal production. We describe here how the SUGT1 chaperone can, in conjunction with polycistronic protein expression in baculovirus-infected insect cells, dramatically enhance production yield and quality of recombinant SHOC2, the SMP complex, and other leucine-rich repeat proteins.
