Downregulation of Promoter Strength for Increased Production of Recombinant Biopolymers

RPI ID: 2021-070-401 Innovation Summary: Recombinant E. coli strains and synthetic protein sequence designs are used to produce disordered polypeptides such as spidroins and elastin-like peptides (ELPs). The system leverages genome engineering to suppress basal expression and redirect cellular resources toward target biopolymer synthesis. This approach...
