Thisversion of the enzyme might have potential applications in the treatment ofleukemia patients. We utilized SHuffle T7 strain of E. coli, to produce themutant enzyme in the presence of chaperone molecules.Materials and Methods: Q59LAsp gene was cloned into pET28a expressionvector, and two strains of E. coli (BL21 DE3 and SHuffle T7 strains) were usedto produce recombinant protein. In parallel, PG-Tf2 plasmid was cloned intothe same strains, and the effect of trigger factor chaperone and groELSchaperonines was studied. The his-tagged recombinant protein was expressedand purified using nickel affinity chromatography. The amount of recombinantprotein which is produced in each condition was determined and compared.Results: The amount of soluble recombinant protein was enhanced in thepresence of chaperones in both strains of E. coli. SHuffle T7 strain producedmore soluble recombinant protein in the soluble state than BL21 DE3 strain.So the best condition for the production of soluble recombinant Q59L mutantprotein was the use of PG-Tf2 plasmid in the SHuffle T7 strain.Conclusion: Application of the new strain SHuffle T7, with chaperonessimultaneously showed better results in the production of Q59L mutant versionof L-Asparaginase.Corresponding Author: Department of Medical Biotechnology, Faculty of Medicine, Shahid SadoughiUniversity of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.

synthesis in the correct structure and low cost in E. coli has remained a challenging issue yet [15]. Many advances have been conducted in the field of strain engineering in the last decades for recombinant protein production in E. coli. Recombinant protein synthesis, degradation, secretion, or folding could be improved by host
