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.

A cDNA expression vector encoding Drosophila ribosomal protein S14 was transfected into cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells that harbor a recessive RPS14 emetine resistance mutation. Transformants synthesized the insect mRNA and polypeptide and consequently displayed an emetine-sensitive phenotype. These observations indicate that the insect protein was accurately expressed and correctly assembled into functional mammalian 40S ribosomal subunits.
