Native hagfish intermediate filament proteins have impressive mechanical properties. However, using these native fibres for any application is impractical, necessitating their recombinant production. In the only literature report on the proteins (denoted α and ɣ), heterologous expression levels, using E. coli, were low and no attempts were made to optimize expression, explore wet-spinning, or spin the two proteins individually into fibres. Reported here is the high production (~8 g l-1 of dry protein) of the hagfish intermedia
