Tobacco-etch-virus (TEV) protease is the workhorse of many laboratories in which protein expression is the linchpin of downstream experiments. TEV protease is remarkable in its sequence specificity as the cleavage sequence rarely appears in higher organisms and its ability to cleave fusion tag proteins from proteins of interest. Herein we report work done on large-scale production of TEV protease using different promotors, media, fusion tags, and expression platforms. During our work we detected post-translational modification (gluconoylation and phosphogluconoylation) of TEV protease and the subsequent effects this has on the purity of the protein. Subsequently we made our pgl plus bacteria that negates these modifications and their effects. We also introduce a GFP-based assay for measurement of activity and ultimately a new set of protocols for producing 400-500 mg/L TEV protease.

Background: The low solubility of Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease, a functional enzyme that cleaves protein tags without significant modification in its sequence, is one of the most important limitations of this enzyme. In this study, the aim was to increase the solubility of TEV by changing the expression conditions and designing lysis buffer with various solubilizing agents to improve its solubility.

As an essential thrombolytic agent, the tissue plasminogen activator receives increasing attention due to its longer half-life, lower immunogenicity, and easier administration, which are superior to other thrombolytic agents. In this study, the isolated and purified plasminogen activator from the sandworm () was expressed in . () to investigate its potential for simplifying the development process.

Protein kinases are key players in many eukaryotic signal transduction cascades and are as a result often linked to human disease. In humans, the mitotic protein kinase family of Aurora kinases consist of three members: Aurora A, B and C. All three members are involved in cell division with proposed implications in various human cancers.

Mitochondria provide cells with energy and regulate the cellular metabolism. Almost all mitochondrial proteins are nuclear-encoded, translated on ribosomes in the cytoplasm, and subsequently transferred to the different subcellular compartments of mitochondria. Here, we developed OptoMitoImport, an optogenetic tool to control the import of proteins into the mitochondrial matrix via the presequence pathway on demand.
