bacterial expression systems provide economic and logistic advantages in manufacturing proteins for human therapeutic purposes. however, most such proteins accumulate in insoluble biologicaiiy inactive form when overexpressed in bacterial cells. this is the case while attempting to produce recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hgm-csf) in e. coli. in this report, d...

Objective(s) Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of mortality among the infectious diseases, especially in developing countries. One of the main goals in tuberculosis research is to identify antigens which have the ability of inducing cellular and/or humoral immunity in order to use them in diagnostic reagents or vaccine design. The aim of this study was to clone and express the TB'0.4 prot...

Background: Tuberculosis as a global health problem requires special attention in the contexts of prevention and control. Subunit vaccines are promising strategies to protect burdens of tuberculosis via increasing the BCG protection. The present study aimed to design a vaccine study by means of high-throughput expression and correct refolding of recombinant protein PPE17. Methods: We aimed to c...

Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...

Brucella bacterium causes Brucellosis, an infectious disease spreading from animals to human. Brucella lumazine synthase (BLS) is a highly immunogenic protein with adjuvant properties, which has been introduced as an effective protein carrier for vaccine development. This protein also plays a significant role in inducing immune system. This study aimed to clone, express, and purify the BLS gene...

proline dehydrogenase (prodh; 1.5.99.8) belongs to superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenase, which plays a significant role in the metabolic pathway from proline to glutamate. the goal of this research was gene cloning and characterization of prodh enzyme from pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 strain. the gene encoding prodh was isolated by means of pcr amplification and cloned in an iptg inducible t...

coq10 and lycopene are isoprenoid compounds with nutraceutical and pharmaceutical benefits. in this study, the effect of concomitant lycopene biosynthesis on coq10 accumulation in transformed escherichia coli dh5α was studied. a lycopene production pathway including geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (crte), phytoene synthase (crtb), and phytoene desaturase (crti) from erwinia herbicola was co...
