Another gene affecting sexual expression of Escherichia coli.

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 Expression of the Coat Protein Gene of Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus-PAV in Escherichia coli

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 ...

Cloning and evaluation of gene expression and purification of gene encoding recombinant protein containing binding subunit of coli surface antigens CS1 and CS2 from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...

Synthesis and Expression of Modified bFGF Gene in Escherichia coli Cells

A new strategy for construction of synthetic gene encoding human basic fibroblast growth factor comprising DNA annealing-ligation and augmentation by polymerase chain reaction was introduced. The sequence of the gene and corresponding amino acid chain were modified in order to increase stability of the protein. First, 300 bp and 160 bp fragments of the gene were assembled from 18 oligonucleotid...
