Abstract

This disclosure provides expression systems comprising secretion signals that promote production and/or secretion of proteins of interest, as well as one or more polynucleotides encoding chaperone proteins (e.g., CRT and/or PDIA3) which, as demonstrate herein, enhance production and/or secretion of proteins. Moreover, genetically modified host cells comprising these expression systems are capable of producing high levels of protein of interest, such as bovine lactoferrin (bLF), bovine lactoglobulin (bLG), or ovalbumin (Ova).
