Purification of green fluorescent protein overexpressed by a mutant recombinant Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Green fluorescent protein was purified from sonicated recombinant Escherichia coli and its mutant obtained after exposure to UV light. The latter overexpresses green fluorescent protein. The two-step procedure consisted of a two-phase aqueous extraction with PEG/salt and precipitation of the proteins from PEG phase by free Zn2+. The recoveries of green fluorescent protein were 73 and 83% in the cases of recombinant E. coli and its mutant, respectively. The corresponding fold purifications were 24 and 9, respectively. In both cases, the purified protein showed a single band on SDS-PAGE corresponding to 28 kDa.

Background & Objective: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major causative agent of diarrhea. Enterotoxins and the colonization factors (CFs) are major virulence factors in ETEC infections. The bacterium binds to the intestinal epithelial cell surface through colonization factors and produces enterotoxins that cause excessive fluid and electrolyte secretion in the lumen of the intesti...

The cloning, expression and purification of the glutathione (sulfur) import system ATP-binding protein (gsiA) was carried out. The coding sequence of Escherichia coli gsiA, which encodes the ATP-binding protein of a glutathione importer, was amplified by PCR, and then inserted into a prokaryotic expression vector pWaldo-GFPe harboring green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene. The resulting...

Introduction: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and serotype O157: H7 is one of the most important diseases causing diarrhea. Shiga-like toxin secreted by the bacteria destroys epithelial cells and, in acute cases, causes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Antibiotic therapy is not effective against this pathogen, because it increases the production of Shiga toxin. Designing chimeric immu...
