Cloning of a human gene, PIG-F, a component of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor biosynthesis, by a novel expression cloning strategy.
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are widely distributed in eukaryotic cells, from yeasts to mammals. A number of proteins, such as glycosyltransferases, are necessary for GPI anchor biosynthesis. Cloning of genes encoding these proteins is required for analyses of their nature and the biosynthetic pathway. Here we report a new method of expression cloning that is applica...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF A HUMAN INTERFERON a2 GENE IN E. COLI
The plasmid pALCA1SIFN containing cDNA that encodes the human interferon a-2b was obtained from the ATCC(no. 531667). In this system the expression of the gene is under the control of an alcA promoter. alcA p is a specific promoter for expression of different genes in Aspergillusfilamentous. In this plasmid the coding region of IFN?-2b is preceded by the coding region of a synthetic signal ...
متن کاملCharacterization of genomic PIG-A gene: a gene for glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor biosynthesis and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hemolytic anemia characterized by the presence of abnormal subpopulations of blood cells that are deficient in surface expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Recent studies showed that the gene termed PIG-A, which participates in the first step of GPI-anchor biosynthesis, is mutated in the abnormal blood cells...
متن کاملCLONING AND EXPRESSION OF HUMAN IFNα2B GENE IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE
Interferon is a protein secreted by eucaryotic cells following stimulation by viruses, bacteria, and many other immunogenes. Recent medical studies indicate that interferons have effective role in the treatment of virus infections, immunodeficiency and certain types of cancer such as hairy cell leukaemia (HCL). The aim of the present study is to apply yeast strain for secreting human IFNα2b fol...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Thermus Aquaticus DNA Polymerase Gene, Using a Thermo-Inducible Expression Vector
DNA polymerase gene from Thermus aquaticus strain YT1 was amplified using VENTTM DNA po-lymerase and cloned under the control of X.PR promoter and expression was induced by a shift in tern perature. The culture was then sonicated, and after centrifugation the lysate was treated with polyethyleneimine followed by a salting-out step. Finally the protein was precipitated with ammonium sulfate and...
