This report describes a method whereby library mutagenesis combined with drug selection was used to generate unique and efficient ribosome-binding sites (RBS) for expressing recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli. The RBS was deleted from a vector expressing beta-lactamase and replaced with a 16-base sequence containing a library of mutations. Selection of the library with ampicillin yielded several unique RBS sequences that were more efficient than ompA RBS for expressing a bacterial (beta-lactamase) and a mammalian protein (single-chain Fv antibody). The described approach provides a practical means to improve recombinant protein expression and, also, provides new sequences to further evaluate the complex regulatory mechanism underlying translation initiation.
