Background and Aims: Q59L mutant of L-asparaginase enzyme from Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been introduced with lower side effects. This version of the enzyme might have potential applications in the treatment of leukemia patients. We utilized SHuffle T7 strain of E. coli, to produce the mutant enzyme in the presence of chaperone molecules. Materials and Methods: Q59LAsp gene was cloned in...

Five bacterial strains were compared for halogenated compounds conversion in aqueous media. Depending on the strain, the optimal temperature for dehalogenase activity of resting cells varied from 30 to 45 °C, while optimal pH raised from 8.4 to 9.0. The most effective dehalogenase activity for 1-chlorobutane conversion was detected with Rhodococcus erythropolis NCIMB13064 and Escherichia coli B...

Lk2 and Lk3 were thermostable recombinant lipase highly expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). However, accumulated as an inclusion body. To further characterize both lipases, the soluble enzyme must be obtained first. This study aimed to optimize disruption of cell membrane order obtain active lipases. The effects temperature lysis, pH, SDS concentration on lipolytic activity investigated u...

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces sampsonii is a kind of biocontrol bacterium with antifungal effects, and chitinase one the main substances. To improve further study structure function gene S. sampsonii, we amplified target fragment by PCR, ligated to expression vector pET-32a, introduced resulting plasmid into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) induced chitinase. Then, recombinant was purified is-labelled prot...

Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative bacterium which associated with gastrointestinal diseases and septicaemia. This pathogenic bacterium has several virulence factors ranging from pili to the excreted protein which called (Aerolysin) with minor and major effects, respectively. Additionally, Aeromonas hydrophila is a widely distributed bacterium that commonly causes ulcers in cyprinid fish s...

Recombinant His-tagged proteins expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) are commonly coeluted with native E. coli proteins, especially if the recombinant protein is expressed at a low level. The E. coli contaminants display high affinity to divalent nickel or cobalt ions, mainly due to the presence of clustered histidine residues or biologi...

Lipoic acid synthase, which exists primarily in mitochondria, participates in the biosynthesis of intrinsic lipoic acid. The lipoic acid synthase gene in pig is known as LIAS. To further investigate the biological functions of the protein that is encoded by LIAS, we cloned the open read frame of porcine LIAS (GenBank No. JN797612.1) into the expression vector pET-28α(+). The resulting pET-28α(+...

BACKGROUND Human insulin-like growth factor type 1 (hIGF-1) is a protein consisting of 70 amino acids (MW=7.6 kDa) and mainly synthesized by liver. Mecasermin (Trade name INCRELEX) is the synthetic form of the protein which is used as an effective treatment for particular disorders such as short stature, type 1 and 2 diabetes, and wound healing. Current study was aimed to investigate the expres...
