Expression of the lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans in a eukaryotic system.
The lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans was cloned into Escherichia coli. The 5' end of the gene was modified to include a eukaryotic start codon, the Kozak expression start site consensus sequence, and an enzyme site to facilitate manipulation of the gene. Transcription of the modified gene in vitro yielded an RNA transcript which, when added to a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free translat...
متن کاملCloning, Expression, and Purification of Recombinant Lysostaphin From Staphylococcus simulans
BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections and its resistance to antibiotics is a global concern. Lysostaphin is an antimicrobial agent belonging to a major class of antimicrobial peptides and proteins known as the bacteriocins. It exhibits a high degree of anti-staphylococcal bacteriolytic activity. OBJECTIVES In this study, high level of recom...
متن کاملCloning, sequence, and expression of the lysostaphin gene from Staphylococcus simulans.
A 1.5-kilobase-pair fragment of DNA that contains the lysostaphin gene from Staphylococcus simulans and its flanking sequences has been cloned and completely sequenced. The gene encodes a preproenzyme of Mr 42,000. The NH2-terminal sequence of the preproenzyme is composed of a signal peptide followed by seven tandem repeats of a 13-amino acid sequence. Conversion of prolysostaphin to the mature...
متن کاملcloning, expression, and purification of recombinant lysostaphin from staphylococcus simulans
conclusions: our data showed that the recombinant mature lysostaphin protein produced by pet32a vector in e. coli system was very efficient. results: pcr and sequencing results confirmed the successful cloning of the target gene into the vector. the expression of protein was induced by iptg and high concentration of the recombinant protein was obtained via the purification process by affinity-c...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the antimicrobial peptidase lysostaphin from Staphylococcus simulans
UNLABELLED Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus lysostaphin efficiently cleaves Staphylococcus aureus cell walls. The protein is in late clinical trials as a topical anti-staphylococcal agent, and can be used to prevent staphylococcal growth on artificial surfaces. Moreover, the gene has been both stably engineered into and virally delivered to mice or livestock to obtain resistance a...
