ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for the efficient and enhanced secretion of a protein of interest from a host cell. In specific, proteins are secreted through the Sec-dependent pathway, involving the spoIIIJ and/or yqjG gene product(s). In some embodiments, expression of the spoIIIJ and/or yqjG gene product(s) is modulated by a promoter operably linked to the gene.
