Regulated expression of the Escherichia coli dam gene.

The Expression of Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor by Heat-Induction in Escherichia coli

A self-regulated high-copy number plasmid containing chloramphenicol resistant gene, for the production of recombinant proteins under the regulation of bacteriophage ?pL promoter, was constructed. The designed 5024 base pair expression plasmid contained a heat sensitive repressor cI857 coding gene to regulate the function of ?pL promoter under heat shock induction. Using the constructed vector,...

Expression 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...

A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN EXPRESSION OF A SYNTHETIC GENE OF HUMAN BASIC FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR (hbFGF) AND ITS RELATED cDNA IN ESCHERICHIA COLI

The gene encoding the human basic fibroblast growth factor (hbFGF) has been already chemically-synthesized and cloned in pET-3a expression vector (Pasteur Institute of Iran). In the present study, we compared the level of expression of this synthetic hbFGF and its related cDNA in Escherichia coli. The pBR322-cDNA of hbFGF supplied by Dr. Seno (from Molecular Biology Dept, Okaido prefectural uni...

Cloning and optimization of phytase enzyme gene expression in Escherichia coli

Introduction Phytase is an enzyme that has the ability to break down phytic acid into myoinositol and mineral phosphate, and widely uses as an additive in animal foods. The aim of this study was to achieve a high level of bacterial phytase expression in PET26b expression host. Materials and Methods To generate the recombinant phytase enzyme, the target gene was introduced into the expression ...
