Article Synopsis
  • Scavenger receptors are a protein superfamily featuring a conserved domain called the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich structural domain (SRCRD), crucial for protein functionality.
  • A new method was developed for expressing a Type B SRCRD from human salivary agglutinin in Escherichia coli, which involves a refolding process to stabilize disulfide bonds, resulting in better protein solubility and quality.
  • The refolded SRCRD protein was successfully crystallized, demonstrating a high-resolution structure indicative of its integrity, and the findings could enhance future SRCRD protein expression and purification strategies.
