Provided are compositions and methods for enhancing recombinant protein production. The compositions and methods involve use of Ribose Binding Protein (RBP) as a segment of a fusion polypeptide, whereby the RBP segment enhances production of the fusion protein. The fusion proteins contain the RBP sequentially in a single fusion protein with a polypeptide for which enhanced expression is desired. Recombinant expression vectors encoding the fusion proteins that contain and RBP segment are included, as are cells that contain the expression vectors. Methods for separating fusion proteins and for liberating a polypeptide segment that is part of the fusion protein are also provided.
