High-level expression and secretion of recombinant mouse endostatin by Escherichia coli

Protein Expression and Purification
Ren XuRen-Bao Gan

Abstract

The expression of murine endostatin was achieved by placing its gene downstream of an alkaline phosphatase gene (phoA) promoter. To ensure proper folding and secretion of the recombinant protein, the mouse endostatin was fused with alkaline phosphatase signal peptide. SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the culture medium of recombinant Escherichia coli cells revealed that endostatin was efficiently secreted. The signal peptide was efficiently cleaved during secretion as demonstrated by N-terminal amino acid sequencing. The maximum yield of secreted endostatin during fermentation was 40 mg/liter. Up to 28 mg of endostatin was purified from 1 liter of cell culture broth. The biological activity of recombinant protein was tested in a bovine aortic endothelial (BAE) cell proliferation assay. The recombinant endostatin inhibited the growth of BAE cells stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor, and its ED50 was comparable to that from a previous report. Flow cytometric measurements of BAE cells cultivated in medium with endostatin demonstrated a cell cycle arrest mainly in the G0/G1 phase and a decrease in the S phase.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
