Expression plasmids carrying the coding sequence of mature human interleukin 1 beta (IL 1 beta) linked either to a Met start codon, or fused to different efficient Escherichia coli secretion signal sequences, have been constructed. In the latter case, we used signal peptides derived either from an outer membrane protein (OmpA) or from a periplasmic protein (PhoA). The synthesis of IL1 beta from these fusions was investigated in an otherwise strictly isogenic context using identical conditions of derepression and culture media. The Met-IL1 beta fusion produced a soluble cytoplasmic protein which could be released from the cells by osmotic shock whereas the OmpA and PhoA fusions were always insoluble. The extent of sOmpA-IL1 beta maturation was found to vary from 50 to 100%, mainly depending on the medium used, whereas no significant maturation of the signal peptide could be detected in the case of the sPhoA-IL1 beta fusion. Immuno-electron microscopy revealed that the sOmpA-IL1 beta fusion was targeted to the inner membrane, whereas the sPhoA-IL1 beta fusion remained within the cytoplasm and thus did not appear to enter the secretion pathway. Amplifying the E. coli signal peptidase lep gene on a multicopy plasmid did not improve signal peptide removal from sOmpA-IL1 beta. Moreover, these E. coli secretion vectors allowed us to produce, in high levels, IL1 beta fragments which otherwise could not be stably accumulated within the cytoplasmic compartment.
