Recombinant ferritin: modulation of subunit stoichiometry in bacterial expression systems.
We describe a strategy for the creation of recombinant ferritin heteropolymers which mimic the natural heterogeneity of this protein. This method entailed the co-expression of cDNA for both ferritin H and ferritin L subunits in a single bacterium using either a bicistronic vector, in which both cDNAs were expressed from the vector, or a dual vector expression strategy, in which each subunit was...
متن کاملExpression of Recombinant Protein B Subunit Pili from Vibrio Cholera
Background & Aims: Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes cholera disease. Following ingestion by a host and entry into the upper intestine, V. cholera colonizes and begins to emit enterotoxin. One of the most pathogenic factors of Vibrio cholera is toxin-coregulated pili (TCP). ToxinCoregulated pili is as the primary factor requiered for the colonization and insisten...
متن کاملSignal peptides for recombinant protein secretion in bacterial expression systems
The secretion of biotechnologically or pharmaceutically relevant recombinant proteins into the culture supernatant of a bacterial expression host greatly facilitates their downstream processing and significantly reduces the production costs. The first step during the secretion of a desired target protein into the growth medium is its transport across the cytoplasmic membrane. In bacteria, two m...
متن کاملStructure and expression of the chicken ferritin H-subunit gene.
Although the genomes of many species contain multiple copies of ferritin heavy (H)- and light (L)-chain sequences, the chicken genome contains only a single copy of the H-subunit gene. The primary transcription unit of this gene is 4.6 kilobase pairs and contains four exons which are posttranscriptionally spliced to generate a mature transcript of 869 nucleotides. Chicken and human ferritin H-s...
متن کاملSuppressive effects in vivo of purified recombinant human H-subunit (acidic) ferritin on murine myelopoiesis.
Purified recombinant human heavy-chain (acidic) ferritin (rHF) was assessed in vivo in mice for effects on the proliferation (percentage of cells in S-phase) and absolute numbers of granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), erythroid (BFU-E), and multipotential (CFU-GEMM) progenitor cells in the femur and spleen and on the nucleated cells in the marrow, spleen, and blood. rHF significantly decreased cyc...
