Recombinant Spider Silk Proteins In article number 2300011, Keiji Numata and co-workers create a plant-based system to produce secretory spider silk using tobacco cell suspension. Despite plant cells excelling in the high production of recombinant proteins, secretion spidroins is intricately controlled by extracellular protein sorting mechanisms, specifically related C-terminal domain.
