Thermostable α-galactosidase fromBacillus stearothermophilusNUB3621: cloning, sequencing and characterization [PDF]
An alpha-galactosidase gene from the thermophilic bacterium Bacillus stearothermophilus NUB3621 was cloned, sequenced, expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein was purified. The Bacillus enzyme, designated AgaN, is similar to alpha-galactosidases of family 36 in the classification of glycosyl hydrolases.

High-level expression of Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase in Ashbya gossypii [PDF]
Ashbya gossypii has been recently considered as a host for the expression of recombinant proteins. The production levels achieved thus far were similar to those obtained with Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the same proteins.

A targeting sequence directs DNA methyltransferase to sites of DNA replication in mammalian nuclei [PDF]
Tissue-specific patterns of methylated deoxycytidine residues in the mammalian genome are preserved by postreplicative methylation of newly synthesized DNA. DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is here shown to associate with replication foci during S phase but

Anaerobic expression of thegyrAgene demonstrated by β-galactosidase activity ingyrA::Mu-lacfusion derivatives ofEscherichia coli [PDF]
E. coli C600Δ lac was infected with a Mu- lac defective phage. Lysogens resistant to ampicillin (25 µg/ml) and nalidixic acid (20 µg/ml) were unable to grow anaerobically and insensitive to nalidixic acid (150 µg/ml), indicating formation of gyrA ::Mu- lac fusions.

High lysosomal activities in cystic fibrosis tracheal gland cells corrected by adenovirus-mediated CFTR gene transfer [PDF]
Human tracheal gland serous (HTGS) cells are now believed to be a major target of cystic fibrosis (CF) gene therapy. To evaluate the efficiency of adenovirus-mediated gene transfer in these cells we tested the adenovirus construction containing β ...

Expression of β-galactosidase inRhizobium japonicum [PDF]
The plasmid pGC91.14 was used to introduce via conjugation the Escherichia coli lac operon into fast-growing and slow-growing strains of Rhizobium japonicum. Exconjugants now expressed higher levels of β-galactosidase activity which was still inducible by isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactoside (IPTG).

Development of stable flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for continuous Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase production [PDF]
A flocculent Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain was engineered to stably secrete Aspergillus niger β-galactosidase in a continuous high-cell-density bioreactor. The δ-sequences from the yeast retrotransposon Ty1 were used as target sites for the integration

Antigenicity of a viral peptide displayed on β-galactosidase fusion proteins is influenced by the presence of the homologous partner protein [PDF]
Several beta-galactosidase fusion proteins have been constructed containing the entire VP1 protein from foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) [Corchero et al. (1996) J. Biotechnol. in press]. The antigenicity of the major immunodominant site A (13 amino acids in length) within the VP1 protein has been studied in competitive ELISA using a panel of seven ...

In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this
