Abstract

In the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS), secretory green fluorescent protein (sGFP) transcripts were expressed from day 2 to day 5 post-infection (p.i.), while transcripts of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) molecular chaperone Bombyx mori protein disulfide isomerase (bPDI) were measurable in mock cells and in cells at day 1 p.i. The GFP was expressed from day 3 to day 5 p.i. whereas the levels of two ER chaperone proteins, bPDI and calnexin, decreased from day 3 p.i. and were not detected from day 4 p.i. These findings suggest that the rate-limited expression of ER molecular chaperones is strongly associated with the maximal expression of exogenous proteins in BEVS.
