ε-Poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) synthetase (Pls), which is a membrane protein with adenylation and thiolation domains characteristic of the nonribosomal peptide synthetases, catalyzes polymerization of L-lysine molecules (25-mer to 35-mer). Here, we report on the development of a recombinant Pls expression system that allowed us to perform a site-directed mutational analysis.

Sheeppox and Goatpox are highly contagious transboundary viral diseases of sheep and goats caused by Capripoxvirus, respectively. This study describes the development of indirect ELISA and its serodiagnostic potential as an alternative to the gold standard serum neutralization test (SNT). The homologue of vaccinia virus, ORF 117 (A27L) gene of the Romanian Fenner (RF) strain of Sheeppox virus (SPPV) was used for producing the full-length recombinant A27L (rA27L) protein (∼22 kDa) in a prokaryotic expression system.

Expression and purification of recombinant proteins in is a bedrock technique in biochemistry and molecular biology. Expression optimization requires testing different combinations of solubility tags, affinity purification techniques, and site-specific proteases. This optimization is laborious and time consuming as these features are spread across different vector series and require different cloning strategies with varying efficiencies.
