Cloning, Expression, Purification and CD Analysis of Recombinant Human Betatrophin
Betatrophin is a member of the angiopoietin-like (ANGPTL) family that has been implicated in both triglyceride and glucose metabolism. The physiological functions and molecular targets of this protein remain largely unknown; hence, a purified available protein would aid study of the exact role of betatrophin in lipid or glucose metabolism. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of betatr...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human arginase I at 1.29-A resolution and exploration of inhibition in the immune response.
Human arginase I is a potential target for therapeutic intervention in diseases linked to compromised l-arginine homeostasis. Here, we report high-affinity binding of the reaction coordinate analogue inhibitors 2(S)-amino-6-boronohexanoic acid (ABH, Kd = 5 nM) and S-(2-boronoethyl)-l-cysteine (BEC, Kd = 270 nM) to human arginase I, and we report x-ray crystal structures of the respective enzyme...
متن کاملExpression and Purification of the luciferase enzyme and in Vivo ATP Assay
Introduction: Gene expression and purification of luciferases from the firefly, Lampyris turkestanicus, and optimization of cellular ATP measurements were performed. Methods: cDNA encoding luciferases from Lampyris turkestanicus was transferred from pQE30 vector into pET28a expression vector and pLtu28 was built. Newly constructed vector was expressed in E. coli XL1 Blue and the recombinant l...
متن کاملCrystal structure of human kynurenine aminotransferase I.
The kynurenine pathway has long been regarded as a valuable target for the treatment of several neurological disorders accompanied by unbalanced levels of metabolites along the catabolic cascade, kynurenic acid among them. The irreversible transamination of kynurenine is the sole source of kynurenic acid, and it is catalyzed by different isoforms of the 5'-pyridoxal phosphate-dependent kynureni...
متن کاملExpression of human liver arginase in Escherichia coli. Purification and properties of the product.
Arginase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of arginine to urea and ornithine. It is abundantly present in the liver of ureotelic animals (i.e. those whose excretion is characterized by the excretion of uric acid as the chief end-product of nitrogen metabolism), but its purification has hitherto not been simple, and the yield not high. Starting with a partially truncated cDNA for human ...
