Recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) can be produced by recombinant Escherichia coli a main host for recombinant protein productions. In order to improve the productivity of r-hGH, an orthogonal (L 16 (4×2)) experiment was applied to optimize the best culture conditions for r-hGH production by flask cultures of E. coli BL (21) harboring a new constructed plasmid (pEHUb-hGH). Based on the re...

Our objective was to obtain Equine Arteritis Virus M protein in prokaryotic system to test it as immunogen. LP02/C Equine Arteritis Virus cDNA was used as template to obtain and clone this protein. Equine Arteritis M protein was cloned in the expression vector pQE30 and the recombinant plasmid pQE30/M was transformed in Escherichia Coli M15 cells. The OD600 values of the IPTG-induced M15-pQE30/...

We have carried out a functional analysis of LysR family transcriptional regulators in Bacillus subtilis. The cell density of cultures of a yofA insertion mutant declined sharply after the end of exponential growth, as measured by optical density at 600 nm. Complementation in trans and analysis of isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-dependent growth of an inducible yofA strain confirm...

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...

in order to study the periplasmic expression of human growth hormone (hgh) in escherichia coli, the related cdna was inserted in two expression plasmids carrying pelb signal peptide, one with lac bacterial promoter and the other with a bacteriophage t7-based promoter. the recombinant plasmids were moved to tg1 and bl21 strains of e. coli, respectively. to induce the expression systems, iptg and...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clone, express, and purify a novel multidomain fusion protein of Micobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in a prokaryotic system. METHODS An hspX/esxS gene construct was synthesized and ligated into a pGH plasmid, E. coli TOP10 cells were transformed, and the vector was purified. The vector containing the construct and pET-21b (+) plasmid were digested wit...

We created a single cell sorting system to screen for enzyme activity in Escherichia coli producing 3,4 dihydroxy benzoate (34DHB). To do so, we engineered a transcription factor regulon controlling the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) for induction by 34DHB. An autoregulated transcription factor, pcaU, was borrowed from Acinetobacter sp ADP1 to E. coli and its promoter region adap...

The effect of cultivation parameters such as temperature incubation, IPTG induction and ethanol shock on the production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa amidase (E.C.3.5.1.4) in a recombinant Escherichia coli strain in LB ampicillin culture medium was investigated. The highest yield of soluble amidase, relatively to other proteins, was obtained in the condition at 37°C using 0.40 mM IPTG to induce gro...

OBJECTIVES Multi-epitopic protein vaccines and direction of vaccine delivery to dendritic cells (DCs) are promising approaches for enhancing immune responses against mutable pathogens. Escherichia coli is current host for expression of recombinant proteins, and it is important to optimize expression condition. The aim of this study was the optimization of multi-epitopic HIV-1 tat/pol/gag/env re...
