An expression vector is disclosed, which comprises: a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a bacteriorhodopsin or a mutant bacteriorhodopsin; b) a multiple cloning site; c) a T7 promoter, d) a polyhistidine tag; e) a first protease cleavage site; f) optionally a second protease cleavage site; and g) optionally a linker; wherein the mutant bacteriorhodopsin comprises the residue corresponding to Asn94 of SEQ ID NO: 1. Also disclosed is a fusion membrane protein expression system, which comprises: a) a polynucleotide sequence encoding a mutant Haloarcula marismortui bacteriorhodopsin/D94N (HmBRI/D94N) or a Haloquadratum walsbyi bacteriorhodopsin (HwBR); b) a target membrane protein; and c) a T7 promoter, operably linked to the mutant HmBRI/D94N or HwBR and the target membrane protein. Host cells comprising the expression vector or the fusion membrane protein expression system and methods of using the same are also disclosed. |
