tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (trail), a member of tnf family, is an interesting ligand which selectively induces apoptosis in tumor cells and, therefore, it has been developed for cancer therapy. this ligand has been produced by various hosts such as e.coli. however, protein expression in e.coli cytoplasm leads to problems such as incorrect folding, reduction in biolo...

introduction: follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) is one of the pituitary glycoproteines that it consists of two subunits alpha and beta. the beta subunit is responsible for the biological activity of fsh. the aim of present study was isolation of the β subunit coding sequence containing its signal sequence from human genome and then cloning of the isolated sequence in ppic9 shuttle vector under...

recombinant protein production in e. coli has several advantages over other expression systems. misfolding, inclusion body formation, and lack of eukaryotic post translational modification are the most disadvantages of this system. exporting of correctly folded proteins to the outside of reductive cytoplasmic environment through twin-arginine system could help to pass these limiting steps. two ...

the main purpose of this paper is to introduce afast method for gene prediction in dna sequences based on the period-3 property in exons. first, the symbolic dna sequences are converted to digital signal using the eiip method. then, to reduce the effect of background noise in the period-3 spectrum, we use the discrete wavelet transform (dwt) at three levels and apply it on the input digital sig...

expression of eukaryotic proteins in e. coli often results in their aggregation. proper folding and solubility of therapeutical proteins are the pre-requisite for their bioactivity. this is not achieved in cytoplasmic expression in e. coli because of the absence of disulfide bonds formation. a novel expression/secretion vector was constructed which exploited β-lactamase signal sequence to trans...

conclusions the results of this study demonstrated that the tpasp-padre-truncated orf2 gene cassette and the truncated orf2 gene in recombinant plasmids are successfully expressed in eukaryotic cells. the immunogenicity of the two recombinant plasmids with different formulations will be evaluated as a novel dna vaccine in future investigations. results sequence analysis and bioinformatics studi...
