There are many different bacterial infections in the world that patients are suffering from and research teams are trying to find suitable ways to prevent and treat them. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are most important infections in the world , and they are more common among women because vaginal cavity is near to urethral opening. The aim of this study is cloning of synthetic gene include a...

We describe the development of a novel positive-selection vector, RHP-AmpS, that is suitable for seamless cloning and high-level protein expression in Escherichia coli. In this vector, beta-lactamase (Bla) was rendered nonfunctional by replacing the codon for the C-terminal amino acid of the beta-lactamase gene (bla) with a stop codon. Insertion of a target gene in the correct orientation (tail...

Human epididymal protease inhibitor (eppin) may be effective as a male contraceptive vaccine. In a number of studies, eppin with an engineered His(6)-tag has been produced using prokaryotic expression systems. For production of pharmaceutical-grade proteins for human use, however, the His(6)-tag must be removed. This study describes a method for producing recombinant human eppin without a His(6...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bacillus subtilis HBsu is a 10 kD heat-stable protein shown to be involved in binding to DNA and is encoded by the hbs gene. Large-scale production for biochemical analysis is achieved through cloning and expression of the recombinant protein. MATERIALS AND METHODS This gene was amplified from B. subtilis ATCC 6633 using PCR and cloned into pET28a (+) expression vect...

Full-length mouse VAMP2-His 6 (pTW2) and the t-SNARE complex between mouse His 6-SNAP-25 and rat syntaxin 1A (pTW34) were expressed and purified as previously described (Melia et al., 2002; Weber et al., 2000). Rat syntaxin 4 and SNAP-23 expression vectors were generated in a similar way as neuronal SNAREs. The proteins were eluted into an OG buffer (25mM HEPES/KOH, pH 7.4, 400 mM KCl, 10% glyc...

cens CYC705 for synthesis of iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was cloned. This gene contained a 930 bp ORF, which encoded a polypeptide of 310 amino acids. A recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)/ pET28a-cyc705 was constructed to achieve the heterologous expression of cyc705. This recombinant nitrilase was purified to homogeneity with a molecular weight of 36.7 kDa on SDS-PAGE and mass spectrometry, a...

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is a highly pathogenic and prevalent virus affecting shrimp culture worldwide including Iran. In the present study, a pair of primers was designed according to the sequence of VP 28 gene of WSSV in the GenBank. VP28 gene from an Iranian WSSV isolate (IrVP28) was cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) strain in order to produce VP28 protein...
