Abstract
A method for overexpressing a bioelastic polypeptide in a host cell is provided. A nucleic acid encoding a bioelastic polypeptide having pentapeptide, tetrapeptide, hexapeptide or nonapeptide repeating units is introduced into a host cell. The host cell is grown under conditions that provide for expression of the polypeptide as at least 40% of the total cellular protein of the host cell.
