Abstract:

Background & Objective: In order to enhance the expression of soluble proteins and facilitate their purification and development of multi-functional polypeptide , chimerical recombinant proteins have been invented . The purpose of this study was to construct ctxB-gfp-stxB gene cassette to measure the uptake and excretion of chimerical antigen in future studies.   Materials & Methods: After preparation of primers for gfp gene as a reporter gene , ctxB and stxB, attempts were made to amplify the genes via the PCR techniques . The amplified genes were clone d in the pGEM vector and after confirmation of the gene fragments, they were fused as ctxB-gfp-stxB. The gene cassette was thereafter sub-cloned in the pET28a(+) expression vector. E. coli Bl21 (DE3) was transformed by the recombinant vector pET28a(+), and the expression of the recombinant protein was investigated by IPTG induction and SDS-PAGEelectrophoresis.   Results: The amplified genes were cloned in the pGEM vector, and were confirmed via PCR, restriction enzymes, and sequence analyzing system. The confirmed gene fragments were mixed together as ctxB-gfp-stxB . The existence of the gene cassette was confirmed after sub-cloning. The expression was not observed for this gene cassette in E . coli.   Conclusion: The presence of a large number of E. coli rare codons in ctxB and stxB gene sequences precluded the expression of the gene cassette in E. coli it, therefore, requires the discovery of a suitable host cell for its expression and optimization. Given the gene cassette structure and position of restriction enzymes on the constructed fragment, this gene can be replaced with different genes and can produce a variety of gene fragments.

Bioinformatic Design and Construction of a Chimeric Gene Comprising the stxB, ctxB and blf1 Genes

Introduction bacteria species; Burkholderia pseudomallei, Vibrio cholera, and Shigella dysenteriae are the main pathogen causing  Melioidosis, Cholera, and Shigella in humans respectively. bacterial species have a protein that has antigenic prosperities along with being a mucus based adjuvant thus easing their delivery and immunogenicity. These proteins were BLF1(B. pseudomallei), CTxB (V. cho...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Introduction: Shigella enterotoxin(STxB) is one of the major virulent factors in Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and E. coli O157:H7, which its immunogenicity, adjuvant and delivery characteristic have been proven. Anthrax is a common disease in humans and animals and identifies domain a-1 antibodies of protective antigen(PA) which is 62% of the PA antigens of Bacillus anthracis. Therefore, the pur...

Transformation and gene expression study of recombinant fish GnRH in E. coli BL21 in order to produce recombinant hormone

Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is a neuropeptide known to regulate reproduction in vertebrates. Different analogues of synthetic GnRH are used to induce final sexual maturation in fish breeders. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the expression of recombinant GnRH (rGnRH) in Escherichia coli BL21 to produce recombinant hormone. In the present research, the sequence of DNA relat...
