objectives: in present study we aimed to clone the lux i gene encoding n-acyl-homoserine synthase detected in biofilm forming clinical isolates of acinetobacter baumannii and study its expression in escherichia coli transformants. materials and methods: four a. baumannii hospital strains which demonstrated strong biofilm activity were selected in this investigation. the presence of lux i gene w...

background anaerobic-inducible promoters are alternatives of chemical-inducible promoters for expression of recombinant proteins especially in conditions where chemical induction is not possible or anaerobic conditions are preferable. the nirb promoter is the promoter of the first gene of nir operon in escherichia coli, which encodes nadh-dependent nitrite reductase. this promoter is naturally ...

Coxiella burnetiiis an obligate and gram-negative bacteria causing query fever (Q fever) disease, despite the importance of Q fever, there is no universal vaccine against this disease. Therefore, application of the recombinant subunit vaccines which use Com1 and OmpH as immunogenic proteins can be useful in this regard. To perform the current project, Com1 an...

serological methods are commonly used methods for detection of viruses. preparation of pure viral antigens is a crucial step in production of antibodies required for serological studies. in this research the gene encoding coat protein of a beet western yellows virus (bwyv) isolate from iran was amplified by pcr and was ligated into a bacterial expression vector (pet26b) to obtain pet-bwyv-cp cl...

Mpro is one of the most important drug targets novel Coronavirus. In this study, a series potential compounds were obtained through virtual screening targeting Mpro. Using key protease (Mpro) SARS-COV-2 as lead target for has become hot topic in current virus research. plays role replication and transcription. Therefore, experimental strain Escherichia coli containing commonly used to inhibit d...

Efforts to express lipase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli have so far been unsuccessful andmost of the expressed recombinant lipases accumulate in the insoluble cell fraction. To evaluate the role ofnative and heterologous signal peptides in translocation of the lipase across the inner membrane of E. coli,the lipase gene (btl2) was cloned downstream of the native ...

b ackground: the prevalence of urinary tract infection (uti) is really high in the world. escherichia coli is a major agent of uti. one of the strategies for decreasing uti infections is vaccine development. as the attachment is a really important stage in colonization and infection, at- tachment inhibition has an applied strategy.  fimh protein is a major factor during bacterial colonization i...

The major cat allergen Fel d 1 is one of the most common and potent causes animal related allergy. Medical treatment allergy has relied on immunotherapy carried out with dander extract. This approach been problematic, mainly due to inconsistent levels in produced extracts. Recombinant DNA technology proposed as an alternative method produce more consistent pharmaceuticals for diagnostics Curren...
