A Novel Cytokine Derived Fusion Tag for Over- Expression of Heterologous Proteins in E. coli
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a novel fusion tag for expressing recombinant proteins in E. coli. The fusion tag is the C-terminus part of the human GMCSF gene comprising 45 amino acids, which aid in over expression of otherwise non expressible genes. Expression of hIFN 2b with this fusion tag also escapes the requirement of rare codons for expression. This is also a first report of a small fusion tag of human origin having affinity to heparin sepharose column facilitating the purification of fusion protein. Keywords—fusion tag, bacterial expression, rare codons, human GMCSF

Heterologous Expression, Purification, and Characterization of the HspX, Ppe44, and EsxV Proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Background: Subunit vaccines are appropriate vaccine candidates for the prevention of some infections. In this study, three immunogenic proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including HspX, Ppe44, and EsxV as a new construction, were expressed alone and as a fusion protein to develop a new vaccine candidate against tuberculosis infection. Methods: To make the fusion protein, the three genes ...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of Soluble form of Human Parathyroid Hormone (rhPTH1-34) by Trx Tag in E. coli
Background: Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is secreted by parathyroid glands and controls the level of calcium in bones and kidney. PTH is a small polypeptide with 84 amino acids, but the first 34 amino acids of which are enough for hormone biological activity and can be used in the treatment of Osteoporosis. The expression efficiency of recombinant human parathyroid hormone rhPTH (1-34) or Teripara...

Background: Corynebacterium glutamicum (C. glutamicum) is a potential host for the secretory production of the heterologous proteins. However, to this date few secretion-type gene expression systems in C. glutamicum have been developed, which limit applications of C. glutamicum in a secretory production of the heterologous proteins.Objectives: In this stu...
متن کاملDesign, cloning, expression and evaluation of cysteine-substitutes of intact and truncated molecules of streptokinase
Introduction: Thrombosis and the blockage of blood vessels with clots, can lead to acute myocardial infarction and some times even death. Aside from surgical interventions to remove the blockage, the only available treatment is the administration of thrombolytic agents to dissolve the blood clot. Streptokinase (SK) is the most commonly used fibrinolytic drug for this purpose. However, SK...

In this study, our previously reported novel synthetic gene encoding 166 residues of interferon-? was used for an efficient expression of IFN-?. The synthetic gene was cloned into pET21a expression vector and transferred into E. coli. Recombinant protein was over-expressed in the E. coli. Identity of the recombinant protein was confirmed by western blot analysis. The recombinant protein was bio...
