Proline dehydrogenase (ProDH; 1.5.99.8) belongs to superfamily of amino acid dehydrogenase, which plays a significant role in the metabolic pathway from proline to glutamate. The goal of this research was gene cloning and characterization of ProDH enzyme from Pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 strain. The gene encoding ProDH was isolated by means of PCR amplification and cloned in an IPTG inducible T...

Molecular farming has been considered as a secure and economical approach for production of biopharmaceuticals. Human TNF Related Apoptosis Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) as a promising biopharmaceutical candidate has been produced in different expression hosts. However, little attention has been paid to molecular farming of the TRAIL in spite of numerous advantages of plant expression systems. Theref...

The development of genetic technologies and bioengineering are creating an increasing number genetically engineered microorganisms with new traits for diverse industrial applications such as vaccines, drugs pollutant degraders. However, the destiny bacterial spores released into environment long-life organisms has remained a big environmental challenge. In this study, environmentally responsibl...

background: bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) causes significant economic and health effects in cattle farms. because of the relative inefficiency of bvdv eradication programs, in recent years, numerous strategies such as anti-viral gene therapy has been used extensively to fight it. one of the ways to evaluate the quality of these anti-viral strategies is the study of their efficacy in the sp...

Genetic diversity among plants sprouted from seven year old clones of mulberry (Morus indica var. S36) was studied using molecular markers such as ISSR and RAPD. The clones showed significant variability in sex expression and the sprouting behavior. These changes were appeared after seven years of rigorous pruning and training (pruned once in every 3-4months). Genetic diversity analysis reveale...

In the pharmaceutical industry, biopharmaceuticals (biologics) are gaining market share. There has been a dramatic increase in sale and penetration of monoclonal antibodies particular. Typically, therapeutic produced using high-expression, clonal, or recombinant CHO cell lines. cells dominate as commercial production host due to their ease use, built-in regulatory records, security profiles. Wh...

The present study was undertaken to clone, express rabies virus glycoprotein (RVG) and to identify potential T-cell epitopes on it. RVG gene (1590 bp) was amplified using gene specific primers. The amplified product was cloned into pTZ57R/T cloning vector by TA cloning. RVG gene was subcloned into pcDNA3.1 (+) expression vector. In this study, cloning and expression of rabies virus glycoprotein...

Current molecular cloning strategies generally lack inter-compatibility, are not strictly modular, or applicable to engineer multi-gene expression vectors for transient and stable integration. A standardized platform would advance research, example, by promoting exchange of between groups. Here, we present a versatile plasmid architecture mammalian synthetic biology, which designate VAMSyB, con...

Vast numbers of proteins work cooperatively to exert their functions in various cells. In order to understand the functions and molecular mechanisms of these proteins in plants, analyses of transgenic plants that concomitantly express two protein-coding genes are often required. We developed a novel Gateway cloning technology-compatible binary vector system, the R4 dual-site (R4DS) Gateway clon...

Vector construction with restriction enzymes (REs) typically involves the ligation of a digested donor fragment (insert) to a reciprocally digested recipient fragment (vector backbone). Creating a suitable cloning plan becomes increasingly difficult for complex strategies requiring repeated insertions such as constructing multiple short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression vectors for RNA interferenc...
