In order to efficiently recover recombinant proteins, a temperature-sensitive lytic system was constructed on the basis of the feature that T4 lysozyme disrupts the bacteria through cutting specific bond in the peptidoglycan layer of cell wall. This system was evaluated by constructing and introducing a low copy plasmid pSC-lys (pSC101 replication origin) into E.coli. The plasmid contained a temperature sensitive T4 lysozyme (LYS(ts)) gene under the control of three tandem tac promoters and the LacI repressor, which is compatible with other plasmids carrying pMB1, ColE1 replication origins, etc. Under the optimum lysis conditions, 2--5 fold condensed cultures resuspended in buffer A, beta-galactosidase, recombinant chaperone GroEL and ZZ-fusion salmon hexamic calcitonin (Cal6) in E.coli were released simply, rapidly, and quantitatively, as co-expressed with LYS(ts). The two tested recombinant proteins maintained their significant productions. Instead of other cumbersome lysising methods, this novel lytic system will be useful in recovery of recombinant proteins for further purification in the field of biotechnology.

Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) are among the most abundant microorganisms on earth and are known to be a major source of nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, although biochemical origins of this NO remain unknown. Enzymological details of AOA nitrogen metabolism are broadly unavailable. We report the recombinant expression, purification, and characterization of a multicopper oxidase, Nmar_1354, from the AOA .

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as one of the best gene delivery vectors for human gene therapy in vivo. However, the clinical efficacy of rAAV gene therapy is often hindered by the host immune response against its transgene products. Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is specialised to process peptides presented by class I molecules of major histocompatibility complex.

The production of complex multimeric secretory immunoglobulins (SIgA) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves is challenging, with significant reductions in complete protein assembly and consequently yield, being the most important difficulties. Expanding the physical dimensions of the ER to mimic professional antibody-secreting cells can help to increase yields and promote protein folding and assembly. Here, we expanded the ER in N.

Background: Ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1) is a member of the AGC family of serine/threonine kinases which plays a role in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, cell growth, and survival. Dysregulation of p70S6K1, characterized by its overexpression and/or hyperactivation, has been implicated in numerous human pathologies, particularly in several types of cancer. Therefore, generating active, recombinant p70S6K1 is critical for investigating its role in cancer biology and for developing novel diagnostic or therapeutic approaches.

Acute pericarditis, the predominant pericardial disease, often lacks a clear etiology, with 15-30% of patients experiencing recurrence, rising to 20-50% in those with prior relapses. Autoimmune mechanisms significantly contribute to recurrence, with interleukin-1 identified as a pivotal inflammatory mediator. While NSAIDs, colchicine, and steroids remain staples for acute cases, the spotlight in recurrent pericarditis management has shifted toward immunosuppressive medications.
