Colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF3) is a glycoprotein with many therapeutic applications. In the  Escherichia coli  expression system, mRNA folding and stability near the translation initiation region (TIR) are known to influence protein expression significantly. We have successfully constructed the recombinant plasmid carrying genes encoding CSF3.1 and CSF3.2, which have different synonymous codon usage at N-terminal. In this study, we compared both expressions of CSF3.1 and CSF3.2 recombinant proteins in  E. coli  host. Recombinant plasmid pJ414-CSF3.1 and pJ414-CSF3.2 were transformed individually into  E. coli  NiCo21(DE3) competent cells by a heat-shock method, then spread on solid Lysogeny Broth (LB) medium containing ampicillin. Eight transformant colonies were selected and then expressed in 2xYT medium with the addition of IPTG inducer. Expression analysis was carried out using 15% SDS-PAGE gel. No significantly different band was observed in CSF3.1 protein expression compared to the negative control. In contrast, CSF3.2 protein can be expressed with a good amount at its expected size of 18 kDa. This result was strengthened by bioinformatics analysis which demonstrated the more open TIR of CSF3.2 than that of CSF3.1 Our study highlighted that AU-rich mRNA at the N-terminal is essential for efficient recognition of the ribosome binding site.
