Purification and mechanism of human aldehyde oxidase expressed in Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human aldehyde oxidase 1 (AOX1) has been subcloned into a vector suitable for expression in Escherichia coli, and the protein has been expressed. The resulting protein is active, with sulfur being incorporated in the molybdopterin cofactor. Expression levels are modest, but 1 liter of cells supplies enough protein for both biochemical and kinetic characterization. Partial purification is achieved by nickel affinity chromatography through the addition of six histidines to the amino-terminal end of the protein. Kinetic analysis, including kinetic isotope effects and comparison with xanthine oxidase, reveal similar mechanisms, with some subtle differences. This expression system will allow for the interrogation of human aldehyde oxidase structure/function relationships by site-directed mutagenesis and provide protein for characterizing the role of AOX1 in drug metabolism.

PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE CLONED HUMAN GM-CSF GENE EXPRESSED IN ESCHERICHIA COLI
The human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulation factor (hGM-CSF) gene was cloned in the pET 23a( +) expression vector under the control of strong bacteriophage T7 transcription and translation signals. The hGM-CSF gene was transferred into E. coli strainBL21 (DE3)pLysS andIPTG was used for induction of GM-CSF gene. Production of the target protein was obtained as revealed by ELISA and ...

Background: Enterocin-P of Enterococcus faecium P13 (EntP) is of great interest as a food preservative and medicine due to its non-toxicity and broad antimicrobial spectrum in various pH, as well as its excellent thermal stability. However, recombinant production of EntP is still in laboratory because of low productivity and complex purification process. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to ...
