Abstract

Enterokinase (EK) is a heterodimeric serine protease which plays a key role in initiating the proteolytic digestion cascade in the mammalian duodenum. The enzyme acts by converting trypsinogen to trypsin via a highly specific cleavage following the pentapeptide recognition sequence (Asp)4-Lys. This stringent site specificity gives EK great potential as a fusion protein cleavage reagent. Recently, a cDNA encoding the catalytic (light) chain of bovine enterokinase (EKL) was identified, characterized, and transiently expressed in mammalian COS cells. We report here the production of EKL in Escherichia coli by a novel secretory expression system that utilizes E. coli DsbA protein as an N-terminal fusion partner. The EKL cDNA was fused in-frame to the 3'-end of the coding sequence for DsbA, with the two domains of the fusion protein separated by a linker sequence encoding an enterokinase recognition site. Active, processed recombinant EKL (rEKL) was generated from this fusion protein via an autocatalytic cleavage reaction. The enzymatic properties of the bacterially produced rEKL were indistinguishable from the previously described COS-derived enzyme. Both forms of rEKL were capable of cleaving peptides, polypeptides and trypsinogen...Continue Reading

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.
