Zebavidin - An Avidin-Like Protein from Zebrafish
The avidin protein family members are well known for their high affinity towards D-biotin and high structural stability. These properties make avidins valuable tools for a wide range of biotechnology applications. We have identified a new member of the avidin family in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) genome, hereafter called zebavidin. The protein is highly expressed in the gonads of both male and ...
متن کاملNovel avidin-like protein from a root nodule symbiotic bacterium, Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Bradyrhizobium japonicum is an important nitrogenfixing symbiotic bacterium, which can form root nodules on soybeans. These bacteria have a gene encoding a putative avidin- and streptavidin-like protein, which bears an amino acid sequence identity of only about 30% over the core regions with both of them. We produced this protein in Escherichia coli both as the full-length wild type and as a C-...
متن کاملosteoclast-like cells in early zebrafish embryos
objective: genes involved in bone and tissue remodelling in the vertebrates include matrix metalloproteinase-9 (mmp-9), receptor activator of necrosis factor κ-β (rank), cathepsin-k (ctsk) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (tracp). we examine whether these markers are expressed in cells of zebrafish embryos of 1-5 days post fertilization. we also examine adult scales, which are known to c...
متن کاملUnbinding biotin from avidin
Atomic force microscopy of single molecules, steered molecular dynamics and the theory of stochastic processes have established a new field that investigates mechanical functions of proteins, such as ligand–receptor binding/unbinding and elasticity of muscle proteins during stretching. The combination of these methods yields information on the energy landscape that controls mechanical function ...
متن کاملAvidin related protein 2 shows unique structural and functional features among the avidin protein family
BACKGROUND The chicken avidin gene family consists of avidin and several avidin related genes (AVRs). Of these gene products, avidin is the best characterized and is known for its extremely high affinity for D-biotin, a property that is utilized in numerous modern life science applications. Recently, the AVR genes have been expressed as recombinant proteins, which have shown different biotin-bi...
