Recovery of recombinant bromelain from Escherichia coli BL21-AI
نویسندگان
چکیده
In spite of the fact that commercial bromelain supplements are available in the market, to date, none of them are produced and formulated from recombinant forms. They are extracted and purified (often partially) from the stem and fruit of pineapple (Ananas comosus). This makes the production of bromelain very difficult, less reliable, often contaminated and expensive. In this study, a recombinant bromelain was expressed as soluble (active) and insoluble (inactive) enzyme in Escherichia coli BL21A1. The enzyme fractions were purified using Ni-NTA His•Bind resin with the aid of an automated fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) system. Purification fold and percentage yield of the purified active bromelain were found to be 3.7 and 64%, respectively. SDS-PAGE results showed that the enzyme was purified to near homogeneity and the soluble form exhibited a single band with molecular weight of about 45 kDa.

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...

Activin A is a member of the transforming growth factor β super family. Because of its extensive clinical usages, its recombinant production is beneficial. In this study, activin A was expressed in E. coli using the pET 21a expression vector. The optimization of the activin A production in E. coli was done by using the response surface methodology (RSM). At this stage, the effect of IPTG and la...
