متن کاملHeterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187
Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...
متن کاملDiverse supramolecular structures formed by self‐assembling proteins of the B acillus subtilis spore coat
Bacterial spores (endospores), such as those of the pathogens Clostridium difficile and Bacillus anthracis, are uniquely stable cell forms, highly resistant to harsh environmental insults. Bacillus subtilis is the best studied spore-former and we have used it to address the question of how the spore coat is assembled from multiple components to form a robust, protective superstructure. B. subti...
متن کاملThermal Denaturation Equilibria of Tmv Coat Proteins
Thermal denaturation of RNA free coat proteins of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) was studied for wildtype TMV (vulgare) and the temperature-sensitive mutant, Ni 118. The ability to form soluble aggregates as well as the optical properties (ORD, UV-difference spectra), and the sedimen tation behavior were used as criteria for the native state. At pH 7.5 , 7 = 0 .0 2 denaturation is reversible for b...
متن کاملThe unexpected structures of hepatitis C virus envelope proteins
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope proteins are essential not only for maintaining the viral life cycle, but also for evading the host's immune response and in clinical intervention. A thorough understanding of HCV envelope proteins depends on the availability of detailed structural information. Two crystal structures of the E2 core portion and of the E2 ectodomain, and one structure of the N-ter...
