Abstract

See full text

This disclosure pertains to the functional localization of heterologous integral plasma membrane proteins (HIPMPs) lacking cleavable signal sequences into the plasma membrane (PM) of cyanobacterial hosts, e.g., JCC138 (Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002) or an engineered derivative thereof. More specifically, the disclosure provides chimeric integral plasma membrane proteins comprising pseudo leader sequences (PLSs) that promote increased hydrocarbon (e.g., alkane) export capabilities when expressed in a photosynthetic organism, e.g., a cyanobacterium.
