Fucosyltransferases (FucTs) catalyze fucosyl transfer from guanosine-diphosphate fucose (GDP-β-L-fucose) to acceptor molecules to form fucosyloligosaccharides with α-glycosidic linkages. However, when FucT genes have been expressed in Escherichia coli, most cases have resulted in the production of inclusion bodies. In this study, to overcome this drawback, molecular chaperones were co-expressed with α1,2-fucosyltransferase (FucT2) in E. coli. For this, the pACYC184 vector, having genes for chaperones such as GroEL, GroES, DnaK, DnaJ, and GrpE, were transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3) star harboring pHFucT2, including the FucT2 gene from Helicobacter pylori 26695. The results from SDS-PAGE showed that 5 chaperones were successfully expressed and the soluble fraction of FucT2 was also increased. HPLC analysis revealed that the coexpression of chaperone proteins resulted in a 5-fold increase in the total activity of fucosyltransferase in E. coli. In conclusion, the FucT2 expression system developed in this study can be used as a useful tool for the synthesis of fucosyloligosaccharides.
