Abstract
The increased prevalence of diabetes and the growing popularity of non-invasive methods of recombinant human insulin uptake, such as oral insulin, have increased insulin demand, further limiting the affordability of insulin. Over 40 years have passed since the development of engineered microorganisms that replaced the animal pancreas as the primary source of insulin. To stay ahead of the need for insulin in the present and the future, a few drawbacks with the existing expression systems need to be alleviated, including the inclusion body formation, the use of toxic inducers, and high process costs. To address these bottlenecks and improve insulin production, a variety of techniques are being used in bacteria, yeasts, transgenic plants and animals, mammalian cell lines, and cell-free expression systems. Different approaches for the production of insulin, including two-chain, proinsulin or mini-proinsulin, preproinsulin coupled with fusion protein, chaperone, signal peptide, and purification tags, are explored in upstream, whereas downstream processing takes into account the recovery of intact protein in its bioactive form and purity. This article focuses on the strategies used in the upstream and downstream phases of the bioprocess to produce recombinant human insulin. This review also covers a range of analytical methods and tools employed in investigating the genuity of recombinant human insulin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin is a peptide hormone used for regulating blood glucose levels. Human insulin market is projected to grow at a rate of 12.5% annually. To meet the needs of patients, a cost effective insulin manufacturing strategy has to be developed. This can be achieved by selecting a competent host, ideal fusion tag and streamlined downstream process. OBJECTIVE In this article, we have demonstrated that selecting a right fusion partner for expression of toxic proteins like insulin, plays a major role in increasing the recombinant protein yield. METHODS In this article, we have focused on identifying a peptide tag fusion partner for expressing proinsulin by truncating thioredoxin tag. Truncations were carried out from both Amino and Carboxy terminus of the protein and efficiency of truncated sequences was evaluated by expressing it with proinsulin gene. FCTRX (1-15) sequence fused to proinsulin was processed further to establish downstream protocol for purification. RESULTS Thioredoxin tag was truncated appropriately by considering the fusion tag: protein ratio. A couple of sequences ranging 10 - 15 amino acids were identified based on its in silico properties. Of these FCTRX (1-15) showed increased expression and stability of fusion protein. 156 mg of purified insulin was generated from 1g of inclusion body after enzymatic conversion and chromatographic steps. CONCLUSION As a result of the current study, it was concluded that FCTRX (1-15) peptide has advantageous attributes to be considered as an ideal fusion tag for expression of proinsulin. This can be further explored by expressing it with other proteins.

Abstract
How proteins sense and navigate the cellular interior to find their functional partners remains poorly understood. An intriguing aspect of this search is that it relies on diffusive encounters with the crowded cellular background, made up of protein surfaces that are largely nonconserved. The question is then if/how this protein search is amenable to selection and biological control. To shed light on this issue, we examined the motions of three evolutionary divergent proteins in the Escherichia coli cytoplasm by in-cell NMR. The results show that the diffusive in-cell motions, after all, follow simplistic physical-chemical rules: The proteins reveal a common dependence on (i) net charge density, (ii) surface hydrophobicity, and (iii) the electric dipole moment. The bacterial protein is here biased to move relatively freely in the bacterial interior, whereas the human counterparts more easily stick. Even so, the in-cell motions respond predictably to surface mutation, allowing us to tune and intermix the protein's behavior at will. The findings show how evolution can swiftly optimize the diffuse background of protein encounter complexes by just single-point mutations, and provide a rational framework for adjusting the cytoplasmic motions of individual proteins, e.g., for rescuing poor in-cell NMR signals and for optimizing protein therapeutics.
