alkaline phosphatase is an enzyme with widespread use in research and industry such as protein labeling, dephosphorylation of nucleic acids, and enzyme based biosensors. in the present study, alkaline phosphatase gene was inserted into the pet15b vector. the recombinant dna was then expressed using iptg as an inducer. the expression of this enzyme was optimized by changing expression conditions...

Background: Phytate is an anti-nutritional factor in plants, which catches the most phosphorus contents and some vital minerals. Therefore, Phytase is added mainly as an additive to the monogastric animals’ foods to hydrolyze phytate and increase absorption of phosphorus. Objectives: Y. intermedia phytase is a new phytase with special characteristics such as high specific activity, pH stabilit...

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...

Background: Thrombopoietin is a glycoprotein produced by liver and kidney which is responsible for regulating the platelet production. Thrombopoietin is a key ligand with impact on regulating the self-renewal of Hematopoietic stem cells and the regulation of Megakaryocytes progenitors. Previous studies have indicated that only N-terminal domain of this protein has receptor promoting ability. Th...

conclusions a fusion tag from the pet32 expression plasmid permits the recovery of the recombinant fusion fgf-2 from e. coli, without affecting its biological activity. objectives the objective of this study was to overexpress and purify the high-level active human bfgf in escherichia coli (e. coli). materials and methods this experimental study was conducted in the islamic republic of iran. af...

introduction: helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection has remained as a global health problem. animal studies demonstrated the role of h. pylori oipa gene in the development of gastric cancer. the aim of this study was the cloning and expression of helicobacter pylori oipa gene in a bicistronic vector harboring mice il-18 gene. materials and methods: the target gene encoding oipa was amplifie...

background and objectives: auto-induction is usually employed to achieve high cell density and overproduction of proteins with a simple and low-cost operation. the efficiency of heterologous protein expression in escherichia coli is determined by different parameters. interactions between these parameters usually complicate the identification of those that contribute more to the improvement of ...
