Recombinant Expression in Moderate Halophiles

Masao      Tokunaga; Tsutomu      Arakawa; Hiroko      Tokunaga

Abstract

A novel expression of recombinant proteins was developed using moderate halophiles that accumulate osmolytes and hence provide cytoplasmic environments where osmolyte-driven folding can take place. Promoters and selection marker were developed for high expression of foreign proteins. Examples are given for expression of bacterial nucleoside diphosphate kinase and human serine racemase.

Keywords: Soluble expression, moderate halophile, compatible solute, racemase, kinase

Artificial Intelligence in Bioinformatics

Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that analyzes and explores biological data. This field combines biology and information system. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted great attention as it tries to replicate human intelligence. It has become common technology for analyzing and solving complex data and problems and encompasses sub-fields of machine ...read more
