Expression in Escherichia coli of a secreted invertebrate ferritin

cloning and expression of mycobacterium tuberculosis major secreted protein antigen 85b (ag85b) in escherichia coli

background the 30 kda major secretory protein of mycobacterium tuberculosis (antigen 85b) is a primary vaccine candidate. this secreted antigen induces a protective immune response and stimulates the production of ifn-γ in animal models. objectives the aim of this study was cloning and expression of ag 85b of m. tuberculosis in escherichia coli. materials and methods to produce recombinant ag85...

Immunogenic Domains and Secondary Structure of Escherichia coli Recombinant Secreted Protein Escherichia coli-Secreted Protein B

Several pathogenic bacteria are able to induce the attaching and effacing (A/E) lesion. The A/E lesion is caused by effector proteins, such as Escherichia coli-secreted protein B (EspB), responsible together with Escherichia coli-secreted protein D for forming a pore structure on the host cell, which allows the translocation of effector proteins. Different variants of this protein can be found ...

Enhanced Expression of Recombinant Activin A in Escherichia coli by Optimization of Induction Parameters

Activin A is a member of the transforming growth factor β super family. Because of its extensive clinical usages, its recombinant production is beneficial. In this study, activin A was expressed in E. coli using the pET 21a expression vector. The optimization of the activin A production in E. coli was done by using the response surface methodology (RSM). At this stage, the effect of IPTG and la...

Characterization of PspE, a secreted sulfurtransferase of Escherichia coli

PspE, encoded by the last gene of the phage shock protein operon, is one of the nine proteins of Escherichia coli that contain a rhodanese homology domain. PspE is synthesized as a precursor with a 19-amino acid signal sequence and secreted to the periplasm. Mature PspE is the smallest rhodanese of E. coli (85 amino acids) and catalyzes the transfer of sulfur from thiosulfate to cyanide forming...
