Spider silk fiber spun from spider is extremely strong and as strong as Kevlar. However, this great material property could not be realized so far by using the made recombinant spider silk proteins. In this lecture, I will report designing of synthetic gene modules, systems metabolic engineering of E. coli network to increase the required metabolic fluxes, and cellular engineering to cope with increased tRNA pool. This allowed production of ultra high molecular weight spider silk protein in E. coli, which gave Kevlar strength silk fiber when spun.
