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...

We report the first use of the tightly regulated araBAD promoter for generating uniformly labeled samples for NMR. The araBAD promoter provides a distinct advantage over that of the most commonly used protein overexpression systems in bacteria (e.g., in pET vectors: T7lac), in that it provides much tighter control over basal expression. However, use of araBAD-regulated expression for preparatio...

Background and Aims: Influenza A virus of Orthomyxoviridae family is able to create pandemic influenza. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza virus infection. Matrix protein 2 (M2) is a homotetramer ion channel with 97 amino acids length and highly conserved among influenza viruses and is considered for development of a universal influenza vaccine. Materials and Methods: We...

Corynebacterium glutamicum has become a favourite model organism in white biotechnology. Nevertheless, only few systems for the regulatable (over)expression of homologous and heterologous genes are currently available, all of which are based on the endogenous RNA polymerase. In this study, we developed an isopropyl-β-D-1-thiogalactopyranosid (IPTG)-inducible T7 expression system in the prophage...

We show that an inducible rpoS antisense RNA complementary to the rpoS message can inhibit expression of RpoS in both exponential and stationary phases and can attenuate expression of the rpoS regulon in Escherichia coli. Plasmids containing rpoS antisense DNA expressed under the control of the T7lac promoter and T7 RNA polymerase were constructed, and expression of the rpoS antisense RNA was o...

The present study describes enhanced production and simplified refolding of a pharmaceutically important protein, leptin, expressed as inclusion bodies in a bacterial expression system. The gene encoding leptin was amplified by RT-PCR methodology, cloned in pTZ57R/T vector by employing dA.dT cloning strategy and then subcloned in T7lac promoter-based pET-22b (+) vector to generate pET-LP expres...

conclusions over-expression of the synthetic cpc/β protein in the bacterial system (escherichia coli bl-21) showed that e. coli can be used as a basis for further research to produce this desired protein in large quantities. results the sds-page analysis and dot blotting confirmed the production of recombinant c-pc/β in the bacterial expression system. over-expression of cpcb gene was optimized...

introduction: hepatitis c virus (hcv) infection is a major public health problem which influences about 170 million people worldwide. different types of vaccines have been designed using hcv structural proteins to control the viral infection. the core nucleocapsid protein is one of the most conserved proteins and a desirable target for hcv vaccines, especially the protein-based vaccines. in cur...
