AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Short peptide tags genetically fused to recombinant proteins have been widely used to facilitate detection or purification without the need to develop specific procedures. In general, an ideal affinity tag would allow the efficient purification of tagged proteins in high yield, without affecting its function. Here, we describe the purification steps to purify a recombinant polyhistidine-tagged glucosyltransferase from Centella asiatica using immobilized metal affinity chromatography.

Background: Protease 3C (3Cpro) is the only protease encoded in the human hepatitis A virus genome and is considered as a potential target for antiviral drugs due to its critical role in the viral life cycle. Additionally, 3Cpro has been identified as a potent inducer of ferroptosis, a newly described type of cell death. Therefore, studying the molecular mechanism of 3Cpro functioning can provide new insights into viral-host interaction and the biological role of ferroptosis.

Immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) is a popular and valuable method for the affinity purification of polyhistidine-tagged recombinant proteins. However, it often shows practical limitations, which might require cumbersome optimizations, additional polishing, and enrichment steps. Here, we present functionalized corundum particles for the efficient, economical, and fast purification of recombinant proteins in a column-free format.

Background: Some peptides are targets for degradation when heterologously expressed as fusion proteins in E. coli, which can limit yields after isolation and purification. We recently reported that peptide degradation may be prevented by production of a "sandwiched" SUMO-peptide-intein (SPI) fusion protein, which protects the target peptide sequence from truncation and improves yield.

The genus (family ) causes a wide spectrum of acute infections in immunocompromised hosts, from pneumonia and bacteremia to oral ulcers and dialysis-related peritonitis. While infections are reported infrequently in the literature, documented clinical cases of this emerging opportunistic human pathogen have occurred worldwide. has clinical significance and exhibits antimicrobial drug resistance.

RBBP6 is a 250 kDa eukaryotic protein known to be a negative regulator of p53 and essential for embryonic development. Furthermore, RBBP6 is a critical element in carcinogenesis and has been identified as a potential biomarker for certain cancers. RBBP6's ability to interact with p53 and cause its degradation makes it a potential drug target in cancer therapy.
