Downsizing a pullulanase to a small molecule with improved soluble expression and secretion efficiency in Escherichia coli

BACKGROUND Significant challenges, including low expression and extracellular secretion of soluble protein, are encountered in expressing and purifying Bacillus acidopullulyticus pullulanase (BaPul) in Escherichia coli. METHODS An N-terminal domain truncation was adopted to facilitate BaPul variant expression and/or secretion. RESULTS BaPul possesses a complex modular architecture that cons...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...

Expression of soluble cloned porcine pepsinogen A in Escherichia coli.

A system for the production of soluble porcine pepsinogen A (EC 3.4.23.1) was developed by fusing the pepsinogen and thioredoxin genes and then expressing the fused product (Trx-PG) in Escherichia coli. The expressed fusion protein was purified using a combination of ion-exchange and hydrophobic chromatography. Trypsin digestion of the fusion protein yielded pepsinogen which was one residue lon...

Soluble Expression of Recombinant Nerve Growth Factor in Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli

Background: Pivotal roles of Nerve growth factor (NGF) in the development and survival of both neuronal and non-neuronal cells indicate its potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, investigation of NGF deficits in different diseases requires the availability of properly folded human b-NGF. In previous studies bacterial expression of hNGF demonstrated the feasibility o...
