Hi everyone,

I got this idea but don't know where to begin so my question will be broad.

Is there any (naturally or engineered) mechanism of e.coli where it secretes (exocytosis) a specific protein at given induction (chemically, UV, pH, temperature, etc)?

I want e.coli to be making a particular protein A inside of its cell, and then when I give specific cue, I want e.coli to start pumping out that protein A outside of its cell.

I am grateful if you could give me any advices or thoughts so I know where to start.
