Codon optimization and cloning of bovine prochymosin gene for proper expression in tobacco plant
Bovine chymosin enzyme is one of the most commonly used enzymes in the dairy industry. The production of this enzyme from its natural source does not meet the needs of this huge industry. The production of recombinant bovine chymosin in plants can be a good alternative to native enzyme. Insertion and expression of foreign genes in plants can occur in the nucleus and chloroplast organelles. The ...
متن کاملIntercellular Trafficking of VP22, a Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Tegument Protein
The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) tegument protein, VP22 has been reported to have the property of intercellular transport. The previous studies have shown that following expression of a fusion protein containing VP22 it spreads to every cell in a monolayer and concentrates in the nucleus. In spite of these reports, some studies have shown that VP22 trafficking and its nucleus accumulatio...
متن کاملChloroplast Proteases: Updates on Proteolysis within and across Suborganellar Compartments1[OPEN]
Chloroplasts originated from the endosymbiosis of ancestral cyanobacteria and maintain transcription and translation machineries for around 100 proteins. Most endosymbiont genes, however, have been transferred to the host nucleus, and the majority of the chloroplast proteome is composed of nucleus-encoded proteins that are biosynthesized in the cytosol and then imported into chloroplasts. How c...

متن کاملKeep the balloon deflated: the significance of protein maturation for thylakoid flattening.
Thylakoidal processing peptidase (TPP) catalyzes the removal of signal peptide which leads to maturation of a subset of proteins including photosynthetic electron transport components in thylakoids. The biochemical properties of TPP were highly defined during the 1980's and 1990's, but the physiological significance of the TPP activity had remained undefined. Completion of genome sequencing rev...
