Expression of the antimicrobial peptide carnobacteriocin B2 by a signal peptide-dependent general secretory pathway.
Carnobacteriocin B2 is a well-characterized class II bacteriocin produced by a 61-kb plasmid from Carnobacterium piscicola LV17. Export of this bacteriocin is dependent on specific ABC (ATP-binding cassette) secretion proteins. Divergicin A is a strongly hydrophobic narrow-spectrum bacteriocin produced by a 3.4-kb plasmid from Carnobacterium divergens LV13. Predivergicin A contains a signal pep...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Protein A Signal Peptide on Extracellular Expression of Recombinant Hirudin in E.Coli
Abstract Background and Objective: Hirudin is an anticoagulant polypeptide secreted from the salivary glands of leeches. Recombinant hirudin is a strong anticoagulant agent in arterial and venous thrombosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of inserting protein A signal peptide sequence of pEZZ18 plasmid on expression and secretion...
متن کاملPlant-based expression systems for protein and antimicrobial peptide production
Molecular farming technology offers a unique advantage that almost any protein can be produced economically and safely under very controlled conditions. Besides traditional production systems, such as bacteria, yeasts, insects and mammal cell lines, plants can now be used to produce eukaryotic recombinant proteins, especially therapeutic ones. Their advantages as hosts for protein production in...
متن کاملAntitumor and Angiostatic Activities of the Antimicrobial Peptide Dermaseptin B2
Recently, we have found that the skin secretions of the Amazonian tree frog Phyllomedusa bicolor contains molecules with antitumor and angiostatic activities and identified one of them as the antimicrobial peptide dermaseptin (Drs) B2. In the present study we further explored the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity of this molecule and investigated its mechanism of action. We showed that Dr...
متن کاملA bacterial signal peptide is functional in plants and directs proteins to the secretory pathway
The Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (LT-B) has been used as a model antigen for the production of plant-derived high-valued proteins in maize. LT-B with its native signal peptide (BSP) has been shown to accumulate in starch granules of transgenic maize kernels. To elucidate the targeting properties of the bacterial LT-B protein and BSP in plant systems, the subcellular locali...
