The siderophore avaroferrin (1), an inhibitor of Vibrio swarming that was recently identified in Shewanella algae B516, was produced by heterologous expression of the biosynthetic gene cluster cloned from a deep-sea sediment metagenomic DNA, together with two analogues, bisucaberin (2) and putrebactin (3). Avaroferrin (1) is a macrocyclic heterodimer of N-hydroxy-N-succinyl cadaverine (4) and N...

The nine membrane-bound isoforms of the enzyme adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) are highly regulated by neurotransmitters and drugs acting through G protein-coupled receptors to modulate intracellular cAMP levels. In general, acute activation of G s-coupled receptors stimulates cAMP accumulation, whereas acute activation of G i/o-coupled receptors typically inhibits cAMP accumulation. It is also ...

Optimal gene expression is central for the development of both bacterial systems heterologous protein production, and microbial cell factories industrial metabolite production. Our goal to fulfill industry-level overproduction demands optimally, as measured by following key performance metrics: titer, productivity rate, yield (TRY). Here we use a multiscale model incorporating dynamics (i) popu...

Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a member of the family Birnaviridae that has been linked to high mortalities in salmonids. Bacterial based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. VP2 is a structural viral protein of IPNV with immunogenicity effects. In this study IPNV was isolated from diseased fry ...

background and objectives: auto-induction is usually employed to achieve high cell density and overproduction of proteins with a simple and low-cost operation. the efficiency of heterologous protein expression in escherichia coli is determined by different parameters. interactions between these parameters usually complicate the identification of those that contribute more to the improvement of ...

The baculovirus-insect cell system is a valuable tool for the expression of heterologous proteins. Due to limitations in the intracellular processing environment, however, heterologous secreted and membrane proteins are often insoluble, poorly processed, or contain 'non-human' modifications. Recent attempts to modify the insect cell secretory pathway by overexpressing processing factors have de...

BACKGROUND In spite of its advantageous physiological properties for bioprocess applications, the use of the yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus as a host for heterologous protein production has been very limited, in constrast to its close relative Kluyveromyces lactis. In the present work, the model protein glucose oxidase (GOX) from Aspergillus niger was cloned into K. marxianus CBS 6556 and into K...

introduction: at present, most recombinant proteins are produced in prokaryotes especially e coli. yeasts and cho also are used as eukaryotic hosts. leishmania tarentolae, a parasite of lizards, a member of trypanosomatidae family is one of the new systems for expression of heterologous proteins. in this system, some of the parasitic protozoa features are used in expression of mammalian protein...

conclusions full factorial design experimental approach helped to identify the critical culture condition parameters in heterologous expression of v2r. it would allow studying the parameters affecting the function of this protein in future experiments. results the maximum amount of protein production was obtained by the addition of 0.75 mm iptg at 37°c after three hours. the most important fact...

background: the potential of plants as a safe and eukaryotic systems, are considered for producing recombinant therapeutic human protein today; but the expression level of heterologous proteins is limited by the post-transcriptional gene silencing (ptgs) response in this new technology. the use of viral suppressors of gene silencing can prevent ptgs and improve transient expression level of for...
