Why can protease activity be a problem in an expression host?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It can degrade recombinant protein

Proteases are enzymes that hydrolyse peptide bonds in proteins. If an expression host produces active proteases, they may recognize and digest the recombinant protein during or after its synthesis, especially when the protein is misfolded, exposed, or released during cell disruption. Option A is correct because this degradation lowers intact protein yield and may produce unwanted fragments that complicate purification. A protease-deficient host, optimized culture conditions, rapid processing, or suitable stabilizers can help. Proteases do not generally increase DNA uptake, create water, or manufacture the antibiotic represented by a selectable marker.
