Expression and Purification of a Mammalian P2X7 Receptor from Sf9 Insect Cells
The P2X7 receptor is an extracellular ATP-gated ion channel found only in eukaryotes (Bartlett et al., 2014). Due to its unique properties among P2X receptors, such as formation of a large conductance pore, the P2X7 receptor has been implicated in devastating diseases like chronic pain (North and Jarvis, 2013). However, mechanisms underlying the P2X7 specific properties remain poorly understood...
متن کاملCloning, Purification, and Characterization of Recombinant Human Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase in SF9 Insect Cells.
A balance between production and degradation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Increased levels of ROS during oxidative stress are associated with disease conditions. Antioxidant enzymes, such as extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD), in the extracellular matrix (ECM) neutralize the toxicity of superoxide. Recent studies have emphasized the...
متن کاملExpression in Sf9 insect cells, purification and functional reconstitution of the human proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT, SLC46A1)
The proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) provides an essential uptake route for the vitamin folic acid (B9) in mammals. In addition, it is currently of high interest for targeting chemotherapeutic agents to tumors due to the increased folic acid requirement of rapidly dividing tumor cells as well as the upregulated PCFT expression in several tumors. To understand its function, determination...
متن کاملExpression of a New Recombinant Collagenase Protein of Lucilia Sericata in SF9 Insect Cell as a Potential for Wound Healing
Background: Today, the use of maggot therapy has become widespread due to the increase in chronic ulcers in the world. The recombinant production of secreted enzymes from these larvae is a novel non-invasive method for the treatment of chronic ulcers. Lucilia sericata (L. sericata) collagenase (MMP-1) has been expressed in insect cells. Collagenase is an enzyme that is widely used in clinical t...
متن کاملFunctional expression of a human thrombin receptor in Sf9 insect cells: evidence for an active tethered ligand.
Desensitization of recombinant human thrombin receptors expressed in Sf9 insect cells was compared with native thrombin receptors in megakaryoblast erythroleukaemia (HEL) cells. Addition of thrombin (2 units/ml) or agonist peptide SFLLRN (10 microM) to HEL cells, or to Sf9 cells infected with recombinant baculovirus containing the thrombin receptor cDNA, produced an increase in the free cytosol...
