Research NotesOpen accessPhrase in the titleAn Artificial Design Technique to Optimize Signal PeptideGao Cui-Fang, Wang Sen, Tian Feng-Wei et al.To determine optimal artificial signal peptide candidates for the possibility of creating high levels of secretion of heterologous proteins, substitution and redesign of amino acid sequences in the H-domain of the signal peptide was theoretically attempted. The method was based on comprehensive score matrix and Markov transfer matrix, which can make the artificial sequences maintain the structural characteristics and original … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 21 Jul 2017 · 8,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Use of α-MF Signal Peptide Without Spacer for Producing Insulin Aspart Precursor in Pichia pastoris KM71Popi Asri Kurniatin, Fifi Fitriyah Masduki, Neni Nurainy et al.A spacer peptide (Glu-Ala repeats) connects N-terminal of a polypeptide precursor to the signal peptide of α-mating factor (α-MF) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. During the polypeptide precursor secretion, the signal peptide will be first cleaved by signal peptidase in the endoplasmic reticulum, followed by Kex2 endopeptidase and finally the spacer peptide is removed by dipeptidyl aminopeptidase in the Golgi apparatus. In … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2019 · 9,026 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNaloxone benzoylhydrazone activates Extracellular Signal-Regulated Protein Kinases and modulates Nociceptin Opioid Peptide Receptor activityDeepak R. Thakker, Ghazi F. Altememi, Chitra D. Mandyam et al.Naloxone benzoylhydrazone (NalBzoH) is often used as a nociceptin opioid peptide (NOP) receptor antagonist. However, NalBzoH is also a mixed μ antagonist/κ and δ opioid agonist and its actions at the NOP receptor range from an antagonist to partial agonist, depending on the effector response/system studied. We now report that NalBzoH activates endogenously expressed κ3 opioid, but not NOP, receptors … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 7,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHigh Incidence of Disorder-Promoting Amino Acids in the Amino Terminus of Mature Proteins in Bacillus subtilisGuangqiang Wang, Yining Dong, Haiqin Chen et al.Problem statement: Exported polypeptides are usually synthesized as preproteins which are composed with mature domains and the signal peptides. The foreign proteins are usually inefficiently secreted by the aid of signal peptides. Although we know that the mature protein played an important role in the protein export process, we do not know what properties of the mature domains are critical … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2012 · 8,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Production of Glycosylated and Non-Glycosylated Mycobacterium tuberculosis Antigen 85B Fused to PVX Coat Protein in Nicotiana benthamiana PlantsPablo A. González, Franco D. Puccio, Alicia M. ZeladaThe development of alternative subunit based-vaccines against tuberculosis is necessary due to variable efficiency and some security concerns of the BCG vaccine. The aim of this work was evaluate the production of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag85B antigen fused to Potato Virus X Coat Protein (PVX-CP) by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana for subunit-based tuberculosis vaccine formulation. A codon-optimized M. tuberculosis … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 13 Nov 2018 · 9,976 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Cloning and Heterologous Expression of Human Interferon Alpha2b GeneI. Made Artika, Yemima Budirahardja, Anna Lucia EkowatiHuman alpha Interferons (hIFNα) have been shown to have antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities. The human interferon alpha2b (hIFNα2b), is one of the human interferon alpha2 sub variants, naturally synthesized as a polypeptide of 188 amino acid residues, the first 23 residues of which represents a signal peptide. In the present study, the hIFNα2b gene was expressed after being fused … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunological Response in Bovine Lymph Nodes Stimulated with Subunits VaccinesGabriel Andres Tafur Gomez, Marlene Isabel Vargas, Joaquin Hernan Patarroyo Salcedo et al.The vaccination process belongs to the public health intervention methodologies that help prevent infections. Vaccinations performed successfully in the history of medicine reported the significance of this procedure to increase the quality of life, prevent zoonoses and improve animal production. Vaccine emergence remained without exact rules for a long time, maintaining a close relationship with pathogens. However, subunit vaccines, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
