Alternative, antibody-free techniques to western analysis of protein blots can offer reduced assay times for routine analysis of expression of recombinant proteins. We have adapted the commercially available enzyme fragment complementation technology to provide a rapid protein detection method for protein blots based on significantly reducing the number of incubation and washing steps used in traditional approaches, and eliminating the requirement for antibodies. In this article, we highlight the use of this assay for measuring recombinant protein expressed in mammalian cells for a range of applications, including dot blot screening of large numbers of different cell samples, assessment of protein integrity through detection of degradation bands, and characterization of post-translational protein modifications such as glycosylation.

Targeting tumor angiogenesis with safe endogenous protein inhibitors is a promising therapeutic approach despite the plethora of the first line of emerging chemotherapeutic drugs. The extracellular matrix network in the blood vessel basement membrane and growth factors released from endothelial and tumor cells promote the neovascularization which supports the tumor growth. Contrastingly, small cleaved cryptic fragments of the C-terminal non collagenous domains of the same basement membrane display antiangiogenic effect.

Zika (ZIKV) and Dengue (DENV) viruses are clinically significant due to their severe neurological and hemorrhagic complications. Rapid diagnostics often rely on nonstructural proteins to generate specific antibodies. This study aimed to produce IgG antibodies from the recombinant ZIKV protein and plant-expressed NS2B protein for arbovirus detection in serum and urine samples.

Background: Rho GTPases are essential regulators for cellular movement and intracellular membrane trafficking. Their enzymatic activities fluctuate between active GTP-bound and inactive GDP-bound states regulated by GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) and guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). Arhgap39/Vilse/Porf-2 is a newly identified GAP.

Spider silk, especially dragline silk from golden silk spiders (Trichonephila clavipes), is an excellent natural material with remarkable mechanical properties. Many studies have focused on the use of plants as biofactories for the production of recombinant spider silk. However, the effects of this material on the mechanical properties or physiology of transgenic plants remain poorly understood.
