چکیده

Using as criteria the size, abundance and developmental specificity of hybridizing mRNA sequences, we have selected from our chorion cDNA library a clone corresponding to a specific chorion protein, A4--cl. Comparison between the clone sequence and the largely known sequence of A4--cl validates the use of the cDNA library for sequence analysis of the chorion multigene families. The two major chorion protein families, A and B, share certain structural similarities.

Molecular cloning of adenylate kinase from the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus

Adenylate kinases (ADK) are ubiquitous enzymes that contribute to the homeostasis of adeninenucleotides in living cells. In this study, the cloning of a cDNA encoding an adenylate kinase from the filariaOnchocerca volvulus has been described. Using PCR technique, a 281 bp cDNA fragment encoding part ofan adenylate kinase was isolated from an O. volvulus cDNA library. Use of this fragment as a p...

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Gene Encoding OipA from Iranian Clinical Helicobacter pylori

Background: Outer inflammatory protein A (OipA) is one of the important adhesins of H. pylori and a valuable candidate for vaccine development. Its gene is under "on-off" switch status which correlates with OipA protein expression. Objectives: We aimed to obtain a recombinant OipA clone (with "on" status) from an Iranian clinical isolate. Materials and Methods: A clinical H. pylori-isolate demo...

Determination of aspartic protease gene dosage in the Onchocerca volvulusgenome

Aspartic proteases are a relatively small group of enzymes which express in various nematodes including Onchocerca volvulus. An estimation of the gene copy number corresponding to the OV7A clone, which contains a cDNA insert encoding approximately two-thirds of the entire coding sequence of aspartic protease of O. volvulus, was made by slot blot analysis in a closely related species O. gibsonig...

Identification of a cDNA sequence coding for kruppellike factor 2b (Klf2b) from the skin mucosa of common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

Kruppel-like factors (Klfs) are a highly related zinc-finger family of transcription factors implicated inthe regulation of the eukaryotic cellular growth and differentiation of a diverse set of cells in mammal. UsingRT-PCR technique, a 456 bp cDNA fragment encoding N-terminus part of a Klf2b was isolated from the skinmucosa of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) using two degenerative oligonucleotid...

Characterization of cDNA sequence encoding for a novel sodium channel -toxin from the Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus venom glands

The venoms of Buthidae scorpions are known to contain basic, single-chain protein -toxins consisting of 60-70 amino acid residues that are tightly cross-linked by four disulfide bridges. Total RNA was extracted from the venom glands of scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus collected from the Khuzestan province of Iran and then cDNA was synthesized with the modified oligo (dT) primer and extracted total R...
