Modular expression and secretion vectors for Bacillus subtilis.
A modular vector system has been developed for the extracellular production of heterologous proteins in Bacillus subtilis. This modular vector system consists of four secretion vectors which are based upon the genes encoding the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens extracellular alkaline protease, neutral protease, barnase and levansucrase. The modular vectors contain compatible restriction sites downstream from the signal peptide-coding region. Three reporter proteins (staphylococcal protein A, levansucrase and Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase) that offer complementary advantages for cloning, genetic manipulations and media optimization have been fused to the various signal peptides. These secretion vectors function in E. coli and hence can be used to compare the mechanisms of protein secretion in E. coli and B. subtilis.

Characterization of the secretion efficiency of a plant signal peptide in Bacillus subtilis.
The ability of the Bacillus subtilis secretion machinery to interact with a heterologous signal peptide was studied using a plant (wheat alpha-amylase) signal peptide. The plant signal peptide was capable of mediating secretion of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase and B. amyloliquefaciens levansucrase from B. subtilis. This secretion was dependent on the plant signal peptide, as deletion of five amino acids from the hydrophobic core resulted in a block of secretion. Attempts to improve the efficiency of the plant signal peptide in B. subtilis were made by increasing the length of the hydrophobic core from 10 to 16 residues by insertion of 2, 4, 5 or 6 amino acids. None of the alterations improved the secretion efficiency relative to the wild-type plant signal peptide.
