Abstract The aim of the present work was to define a bacterial expression system that is particularly efficient for the synthesis of human prolactin (hPRL). In previous work, the synthesis of rec-hPRL by the p1813-hPRL vector in E. coli HB2151 was >500 mg/L, while it was much lower now (2.5-4-fold), in the strains RB791 and RRI. The highest positive influence on rec-hPRL synthesis was due to the transcription-replication co-orientation of hPRL cDNA and the ori/antibiotic resistance gene, responsible for up to a ~5-6-fold higher expression yield. In conclusion, this work confirmed that each bacterial strain of E. coli has a genetic set that can allow a different level of heterologous protein synthesis. The individual study of each element indicated that its action critically depends on the reading orientation in which it is located inside the vector: co-directional orientation of replication and transcription, in fact, greatly increased the level of rec-hPRL expression.

ABSTRACT The gene for the Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis fimbrial protein SefA was cloned into an Escherichia coli surface expression vector and confirmed by Western blot assay. E. coli clones expressing SefA attached to avian ovary granulosa cells and HEp-2 cells, providing evidence for the involvement of SefA in the ability of Salmonella to attach to eukaryotic cells.

Albeit Metarhizium anisopliae is the best-characterized entomopathogenic fungus, the role of some hydrolytic enzymes during host cuticle penetration has not yet been established. Three chitinase genes (chit1, chi2, chi3) from Metarhizium have already been isolated. To characterize the chitinase coded by the chit1 gene, we expressed the active protein (CHIT42) in Escherichia coli using a T7-based promoter expression vector. The recombinant protein, CHIT42, is active against glycol chitin and synthetic N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) dimer and tetramer substrates. These activities suggest that the recombinant CHIT42 acts as an endochitinase.Key words: Metarhizium anisopliae, chitinases, chit genes, recombinant protein, enthomopathogenic fungi.

Based on the (Gly4Ser)3 linker, theesat-6andcfp-10gene were fused for raising the antigenicity of single antigen. The DNA fragments ofesat-6andcfp-10were fused by splicing by overlapping extension (SOE) polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the fusion gene esat-6-cfp-10 were cloned into pMD18-T vector, and then we got the recombinant plasmid pMD-esat-6-cfp-10. pMD-esat-6-cfp-10 and pET28a (+) were digested byBamHI andEcoRI double enzymes. The purified mpb esat-6-cfp-10 fusion gene was subcloned into the expression vector pET28a (+),and the prokaryotic expression vector pET-esat-6-cfp-10 was constructed. Plasmid containing pET-esat-6-cfp-10 was transformed into competenceEscherichia coliBL21(DE3).The bacterium was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE),approximately 25 kDa exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The protein was analyzed by using Western-blotting. The results indicated that the protein was of antigenic activity ofMycobacterium bovis. These results could serve as a basis for further studies on the usefulness of the fusion gene and its expression product in the development of DNA vaccine; living carrier vaccine; subunit vaccine and diagnostic reagents against bovine tuberculosis.
