TRANSFORMATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI WITH pET21A + AND EXPRESSION OF THE NOVEL ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE INDOLICIDIN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indolicidin is an antimicrobial cationic peptide naturally present in the bovine neutrophils. In this study, transformed Escherichia coli cells were employed for greater and cost effective production of indolicidin. Four strains of E. coli [C41 (DE3), C43 (DE3), C41 (DE3) pLysS & C43 (DE3) pLysS] were transformed with recombinant plasmid pET21A carrying the indolicidin gene and were successfully expressed for indolicidin in the presence of the inducer isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Further, the production of indolicidin was confirmed by detecting the 2 KDa indolicidin band on sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

In this study, our previously reported novel synthetic gene encoding 166 residues of interferon-? was used for an efficient expression of IFN-?. The synthetic gene was cloned into pET21a expression vector and transferred into E. coli. Recombinant protein was over-expressed in the E. coli. Identity of the recombinant protein was confirmed by western blot analysis. The recombinant protein was bio...

BACKGROUND Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is one of the most common bacteria that can cause urinary tract infections (UTIs). Unfortunately, no human vaccine against UTIs has been developed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an efficient and safe vaccine that is able to induce mucosal and systemic immune responses. The use of lactic acid bacteria as a delivery system is a promising me...
متن کاملHeterologous Expression of Potato Virus Y Coat Protein, Isolate Pot187
Background: The advent of recombinant DNA technology has facilitated heterologous expression of proteins from various sources in different host systems including Escherichia coli. If a plant virus coat protein is expressed in the bacterium it can be used as the antigen for antibody preparation. Such a recombinant antigen preparation can be particularly useful where equipment such as ultracentri...
