Amino acid sequence of an active center peptide containing serine isolated from alkaline protease of Bacillus No. 221.

Studies on the active center of human plasmin. Partial amino acid sequence of a peptide containing the active center serine residue.

Tryptic digestion of the diisopropyl phosphoryl-32P-Scarboxymethyl light chain derivative of human plasmin followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and G-25 and chromatography on Dowex SOW-X2 has resulted in the isolation of three radioactive peptides. These three peptides, having 31,33, and 34 residues, are all derived from the same segment of the plasmin molecule. Structural determinations...

The amino acid sequence of a peptide containing the active center disulfide of thioredoxin reductase from Escherichia coli.

Thioredoxin is a low molecular weight protein. In the oxidized form, thioredoxin-S2, it contains a single disulfide bridge formed from the 2 half-cystine residues in the molecule (1). The reduced or dithiol form of thioredoxin, thioredoxin-(SH)z, was first identified as the hydrogen donor in the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides in Escherichia coli (2). It has now been shown ...

Isolation and Identification of an Alkaline Protease Producing Bacillus from Soil

Cloning and Enhanced Expression of an Extracellular Alkaline Protease from a Soil Isolate of Bacillus clausii in Bacillus subtilis

in the detergent industry. In this study, the extracellular alkaline serine protease gene, aprE, from Bacillusclausii was amplified by PCR and further cloned and expressed in B. subtilis WB600 using the pWB980 expression vector. Protease activity of the recombinant B. subtilis WB600 harboring the plasmid pWB980/aprEreached up to 1020 U/ml, approximately 3-folds higher than the nativ...

Amino Acid Sequence Analysis of Hemagglutinin Protein of H9N2 Isolated from Broilers in Tehran in 2007

Background and Aims: Since 1998, Iranian poultry industry has been affected by avian influenza (AI) virus, subtype H9N2. The association of high mortality and case report of H5N1 and H9N2 influenza virus in wild birds in recent years raised the suspicion of a possible new genetic modified AI virus. Methods: Partial nucleotide sequences and deduced amino acid of hemagglutinin (HA) genes of 4 H9...
