One of the recent perspective trends of molecular biotechnology is cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS). The procedure of CFPS is based on in vitro reconstruction of all stages of a biosynthesis of protein in a whole cell, including a transcription, an aminoacylation of tRNA and translation of mRNA by ribosomes.Previously, we constructed a strain Escherichia coli that produces homologous adenosine deaminase (ADase). In the present study, as an alternative to canonical submerged cultivation in a fermenter, the possibility of the ADase synthesis in the system of CFPS was studied. For synthesis of this enzyme we used the E. coli-30 cell extract, T7 bacteriophage RNA polymerase, and high-copy plasmid vector pET42mut with gene ADase inserted into it.As a result of the work we have demonstrated for the first time the possibility of synthesis of ADase E. coli in the CFPS system. In a partially optimized process conditions, an experimental sample of recombinant AD with an activity of 530 U/ml of enzyme preparation was obtained.
