abstract

conclusions: our data showed that the recombinant mature lysostaphin protein produced by pet32a vector in e. coli system was very efficient. results: pcr and sequencing results confirmed the successful cloning of the target gene into the vector. the expression of protein was induced by iptg and high concentration of the recombinant protein was obtained via the purification process by affinity-chromatography. materials and methods: the s. simulans gene encoding lysostaphin was extracted, amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr), and sub-cloned in prokaryotic expression vector pet32a. e. coli bl21 (de3) plyss were transformed with pet32a-lys and gene expression was induced by iptg. the expressed protein was purified by affinity-chromatography using (ni-nta) resin. background: staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections and its resistance to antibiotics is a global concern. lysostaphin is an antimicrobial agent belonging to a major class of antimicrobial peptides and proteins known as the bacteriocins. it exhibits a high degree of anti-staphylococcal bacteriolytic activity. objectives: in this study, high level of recombinant mature lysostaphin in escherichia coli was produced by using pet32a expression vector.

Cloning, Expression, and Purification of Recombinant Lysostaphin From Staphylococcus simulans

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections and its resistance to antibiotics is a global concern. Lysostaphin is an antimicrobial agent belonging to a major class of antimicrobial peptides and proteins known as the bacteriocins. It exhibits a high degree of anti-staphylococcal bacteriolytic activity. OBJECTIVES In this study, high level of recom...

Cloning, sequence, and expression of the lysostaphin gene from Staphylococcus simulans.

A 1.5-kilobase-pair fragment of DNA that contains the lysostaphin gene from Staphylococcus simulans and its flanking sequences has been cloned and completely sequenced. The gene encodes a preproenzyme of Mr 42,000. The NH2-terminal sequence of the preproenzyme is composed of a signal peptide followed by seven tandem repeats of a 13-amino acid sequence. Conversion of prolysostaphin to the mature...

Cloning, Expression, Purification and CD Analysis of Recombinant Human Betatrophin

Betatrophin is a member of the angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) family that has been implicated in both triglyceride and glucose metabolism. The physiological functions and molecular targets of this protein remain largely unknown; hence, a purified available protein would aid study of the exact role of betatrophin in lipid or glucose metabolism. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of betatr...

Crystal structure of the antimicrobial peptidase lysostaphin from Staphylococcus simulans

UNLABELLED Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus lysostaphin efficiently cleaves Staphylococcus aureus cell walls. The protein is in late clinical trials as a topical anti-staphylococcal agent, and can be used to prevent staphylococcal growth on artificial surfaces. Moreover, the gene has been both stably engineered into and virally delivered to mice or livestock to obtain resistance a...

Recombinant Lysostaphin Protects Mice from Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Pneumonia

The advent of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and the frequent and excessive abuse of ventilators have made MRSA pneumonia an inordinate threat to human health. Appropriate antibacterial therapies are crucial, including the use of lysostaphin as an alternative to antibiotics. To explore the potential use of lysostaphin as a therapeutic agent for MRSA pneumonia, mice were intr...

Expression of the lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans in a eukaryotic system.

The lysostaphin gene of Staphylococcus simulans was cloned into Escherichia coli. The 5' end of the gene was modified to include a eukaryotic start codon, the Kozak expression start site consensus sequence, and an enzyme site to facilitate manipulation of the gene. Transcription of the modified gene in vitro yielded an RNA transcript which, when added to a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free translat...
