Public Health Relevance:
Therapeutic peptides account for $13 billion of pharmaceutical sales annually and are used to treat human diseases ranging from HIV to diabetes. Many approved and emerging peptide drugs suffer from poor stability and have short half-lives in the human body, which can be problematic and dangerous for patients. The goal of this work is to produce stable, soluble therapeutic peptides in glycoengineered Escherichia coli.

Public Health Relevance:
Therapeutic peptides account for over $13 billion of pharmaceutical sales and are part of a rapidly growing market with at least 600 peptide drug candidates in clinical testing or development. Many approved and emerging peptide drugs suffer from poor stability and have short half-lives in the human body, which can be problematic and dangerous for patients. The proposed studies focus on - for the first time - producing stable, longer-lasting, glycosylated therapeutic peptides in the simple bacterium Escherichia coli and advancing them into preclinical testing.
