Expression of single-chain Fv fragments in E. coli cytoplasm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most frequently used approach to produce single-chain Fv fragments (scFv) and Fab in Escherichia coli is to express them in the periplasm of the bacteria. We present here an alternative procedure that uses cytoplasmic expression of soluble active scFv. This can be accomplished by using either specially engineered E. coli strains or hyperstable scFvs.

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...
متن کاملSingle chain Fab (scFab) fragment
BACKGROUND The connection of the variable part of the heavy chain (VH) and and the variable part of the light chain (VL) by a peptide linker to form a consecutive polypeptide chain (single chain antibody, scFv) was a breakthrough for the functional production of antibody fragments in Escherichia coli. Being double the size of fragment variable (Fv) fragments and requiring assembly of two indepe...
متن کاملHelix-stabilized Fv (hsFv) antibody fragments: substituting the constant domains of a Fab fragment for a heterodimeric coiled-coil domain.
Antibody Fv fragments would in principle be useful for a variety of biotechnological applications because of their small size and the possibility to produce them in relatively large amounts in recombinant form; however, their limited stability is a drawback. To solve this problem, both domains are usually fused via a peptide linker to form a single-chain Fv (scFv) fragment, but in some cases th...
متن کاملSelecting and expressing protective single-chain Fv fragment to stabilize L-asparaginase against inactivation by trypsin.
Four non-inhibitory specific single-chain Fv (sc Fv) fragments directed against L-asparaginase (ASNase) of Escherichia coli were selected from a synthetic phage-display scFv library. The scFv46 fragment could enhance the resistance of ASNase to trypsin proteolysis, with 70% of the initial ASNase activity present after the ASNase-scFv46 complex had been treated with trypsin for 30 min at 37 degr...

Efforts to express lipase in the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli have so far been unsuccessful andmost of the expressed recombinant lipases accumulate in the insoluble cell fraction. To evaluate the role ofnative and heterologous signal peptides in translocation of the lipase across the inner membrane of E. coli,the lipase gene (btl2) was cloned downstream of the native ...
