Cloning, expression, and characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase.
The gene for dihydrofolate reductase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain genomic DNA. The protein was expressed in inclusion bodies in high yield in Escherichia coli under the control of the T7 promoter. Active enzyme was obtained by refolding from guanidine HCl and after a single chromatography step the sample was > 9...
متن کاملIsolation, molecular cloning and expression analysis of Aeluropus littoralis Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR) gene under salt stress
Plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ROS). In this study, ...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning, Expression and Enzymatic Assay of Pteridine Reductase 1 from Iranian Lizard Leishmania
Background: Currently, there are no effective vaccines against leishmaniasis, and treatment using pentavalent antimonial drugs is occasionally effective and often toxic for patients. The PTR1 enzyme, which causes antifolate drug resistance in Leishmania parasites encoded by gene pteridine reductase 1 (ptr1). Since Leishmania lacks pteridine and folate metabolism, it cannot synthesize the pterid...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of ribonucleotide reductase from Chlamydia trachomatis.
In all organisms the deoxyribonucleotide precursors required for DNA synthesis are synthesized from ribonucleotides, a reaction catalyzed by ribonucleotide reductase. In a previous study we showed that Chlamydia trachomatis growth was inhibited by hydroxyurea, an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase, and a mutant resistant to the cytotoxic effects of the drug was isolated. Here we report the c...
متن کاملCloning, Expression, and Characterization of a Thioredoxin Reductase cDNA from <italic>Taiwanofungus camphorata</italic>
A cDNA encoding putative thioredoxin reductase (TR) was identified from a medicinal mushroom, Taiwanofungus camphorata (T. camphorata). Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence with TRs from other organisms showed high levels of identity (59-74%). A three-dimensional (3-D) homology structure was created for this TR. Functional T. camphorata TR (TcTR) was overexpressed in yeast and purified....
