Abstract
Recent years have witnessed significant progresses in engineering of recombinant protein secretion. The relatively simple secretion mechanisms, Type I and Type V (autotransporters), are increasingly used for secretion of recombinant proteins. The secretion level of target proteins varied from milligrams to grams per liter. The range of proteins was significantly expanded beyond medical application. Notable additions include biofuel productions from renewable feedstock. Despite the progress, almost all successes in the engineering efforts come with significant trials and errors, highlighting the need for a better understanding of secretion systems and rational based methods.
