Mucopolysaccharidosis type II is a human recessive disease linked to the X chromosome caused by deficiency of lysosomal enzyme Iduronate 2-Sulfate Sulfatase (IDS), which leads to accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in tissues and organs. The human enzyme has been expressed inEscherichia coliandPichia pastorisin attempt to develop more successful expression systems that allow the production of recombinant IDS for Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT). However, the preservation of native signal peptide in the sequence has caused conflicts in processing and recognition in the past, which led to problems in expression and enzyme activity. With the main object being the improvement of the expression system, we eliminate the native signal peptide of human recombinant IDS. The resulting sequence showed two modified codons, thus, our study aimed to analyze computationally the nucleotide sequence of theIDSnhwithout signal peptide in order to determine the 3D structure and other biochemical properties to compare them with the native human IDS (IDSnh). Results showed that there are no significant differences between both molecules in spite of the two-codon modifications detected in the recombinant DNA sequence.

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in blood plasm. This protein consisted of 585 amino acids with a molecular weight of 66 kDa and 17 disulfide bonds. HSA obtained from conventional technique allow viral or prion contamination. For that reason, recombinant DNA technology becomes a promising alternative. Because of its well-known genetic, simplicity, and capacity to accommodate many foreign protein, Escherichia coli remains the most widely used in the production of recombinant proteins. But, overproduction of protein may lead to the formation of inclusion bodies and proteolytic degradation. These problems can be overcome by using protease-deficient strain and protein secretion into periplasmic space. The objective of this research is to secrete recombinant HA on E. coli BL21(DE3) using TorA signal peptide and proved using SDS-PAGE. This research method begins with the preparation of competent cell and transformation of E. coli BL21(DE3), expression of recombinant HA in E. coli BL21(DE3), and characterization of expression result by using SDS-PAGE. The result of this study was rHSA can be secreted into extracellular medium using TorA signal peptide with a molecular weight of ± 66.5 kDa.

To achieve efficient bio-production of phospholipase D (PLD), PLDs from different organisms were expressed in E.coli. An efficient secretory expression system was thereby developed for PLD. First, PLDs from Streptomyces PMF and Streptomyces racemochromogenes were separately over-expressed in E.coli to compare their transphosphatidylation activity based on the synthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS), and PLDPMF was determined to have higher activity. To further improve PLDPMF synthesis, a secretory expression system suitable for PLDPMF was constructed and optimized with different signal peptides. The highest secretory efficiency was observed when the PLD * (PLDPMF with the native signal peptide Nat removed) was expressed fused with the fusion signal peptide PelB-Nat in E. coli. The fermentation conditions were also investigated to increase the production of recombinant PLD and 10.5 U/mL PLD was ultimately obtained under the optimized conditions. For the application of recombinant PLD to PS synthesis, the PLD properties were characterized and 30.2 g/L of PS was produced after 24 h of bioconversion when 50 g/L phosphatidylcholine (PC) was added.

Ebola virus (EBOV) disease outbreaks have resulted in many fatalities, yet no licensed vaccines are available to prevent infection. Recombinant glycoprotein (GP) production may contribute to finding a cure for Ebola virus disease, which is the key candidate protein for vaccine preparation. To explore GP1,2 expression in BmN cells, EBOV-GP1,2 with its native signal peptide or the GP64 signal peptide was cloned and transferred into a normal or gp64 null Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) bacmid via transposition. The infectivity of the recombinant bacmids was investigated after transfection, expression and localization of EBOV-GP were investigated, and cell morphological changes were analyzed by TEM. The GP64 signal peptide, but not the GP1,2 native signal peptide, caused GP1,2 localization to the cell membrane, and the differentially localized GP1,2 proteins were cleaved into GP1 and GP2 fragments in BmN cells. GP1,2 expression resulted in dramatic morphological changes in BmN cells in the early stage of infection. However, GP1,2 expression did not rescue GP64 deficiency in BmNPV infection. This study provides a better understanding of GP expression and processing in BmN cells, which may lay a foundation for EBOV-GP expression using the BmNPV baculovirus expression system.

Abstract Reconstruction of the complex anatomy and aesthetics of the midface is often a challenge. A careful understanding of this three-dimensional (3D) structure is necessary. Anticipating the extent of excision and its planning following oncological resections is critical.In the past over two decades, with the advances in microsurgical procedures, contributions toward the reconstruction of this area have generated interest. Planning using digital imaging, 3D printed models, osseointegrated implants, and low-profile plates, has favorably impacted the outcome. However, there are still controversies in the management: to use single composite tissues versus multiple tissues; implants versus autografts; vascularized versus nonvascularized bone; prosthesis versus reconstruction.This article explores the present available options in maxillary reconstruction and outlines the approach in the management garnered from past publications and experiences.

Inositol monophosphatase (EC 3.1.3.25) is a key enzyme in the phosphoinositide cell-signalling system. Its role is to provide inositol required for the resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol and polyphosphoinositides. It is the probable pharmacological target for lithium action in brain. Using probes derived from the bovine inositol monophosphatase cDNA we have isolated cDNA clones encoding the human and rat brain enzymes. The enzyme is highly conserved in all three species (79% identical). The coding region of the human cDNA was inserted into a bacterial expression vector. The expressed recombinant enzyme was purified and its biochemical properties examined. The human enzyme is very similar to the bovine enzyme.

For the first time, we are introducing TTPBgp12 and TFPgp17 as new members of the tail tubular proteins B (TTPB) and tail fiber proteins (TFP) family, respectively. These proteins originate from Yersinia enterocolitica phage φYeO3-12. It was originally thought that these were structural proteins. However, our results show that they also inhibit bacterial growth and biofilm formation. According to the bioinformatic analysis, TTPBgp12 is functionally and structurally similar to the TTP of Enterobacteria phage T7 and adopts a β-structure. TFPgp17 contains an intramolecular chaperone domain at its C-terminal end. The N-terminus of TFPgp17 is similar to other representatives of the TFP family. Interestingly, the predicted 3D structure of TFPgp17 is similar to other bacterial S-layer proteins. Based on the thermal unfolding experiment, TTPBgp12 seems to be a two-domain protein that aggregates in the presence of sugars such as maltose and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc). These sugars cause two unfolding events to transition into one global event. TFPgp17 is a one-domain protein. Maltose and GlcNAc decrease the aggregation temperature of TFPgp17, while the presence of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) increases the temperature of its aggregation. The thermal unfolding analysis of the concentration gradient of TTPBgp12 and TFPgp17 indicates that with decreasing concentrations, both proteins increase in stability. However, a decrease in the protein concentration also causes an increase in its aggregation, for both TTPBgp12 and TFPgp17.
