Detoxifying Escherichia coli for endotoxin-free production of recombinant proteins
Microbial Cell Factories, 2015 BackgroundLipopolysaccharide (LPS), also referred to as endotoxin, is the major constituent of the outer leaflet of the outer membrane of virtually all Gram-negative bacteria. The lipid A moiety, which anchors the LPS molecule to the outer membrane, acts

High-Affinity Phosphate-Binding Protein (PBP) For Phosphorous Recovery: Proof of Concept Using Recombinant \u3cem\u3eEscherichia coli\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2016 Phosphorus (P) is a critical, non-renewable nutrient; yet excess discharges can lead to eutrophication and deterioration of water quality. Thus, P removal from water must be coupled with P recovery to achieve sustainable P management. P-specific proteins

Isolation of Inner Membrane Vesicles from Escherichia coli by Using an Affinity Tag
Bio-Protocol, 2012 This protocol was developed in a project aimed to identify the inner membrane proteins localizing to cell poles in Escherichia coli (E. coli). By using a known polar protein Tar as a tag, we isolated pole-derived inner membrane vesicles by affinity ...

Escherichia coli Protein Expression System for Acetylcholine Binding Proteins (AChBPs). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are ligand gated ion channels, identified as therapeutic targets for a range of human diseases. Drug design for nAChR related disorders is increasingly using structure-based approaches.

Analysis of ligation and DNA binding by Escherichia coli DNA ligase (LigA). [PDF]
, 2005 NAD+-dependent DNA ligases are essential enzymes in bacteria, with the most widely studied of this class of enzymes being LigA from Escherichia coli. NAD+-dependent DNA ligases comprise several discrete structural domains, including a BRCT domain at the ...

Phylogenetic analysis reveals an ancient gene duplication as the origin of the MdtABC efflux pump. [PDF]
, 2020 The efflux pumps from the Resistance-Nodulation-Division family, RND, are main contributors to intrinsic antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative bacteria. Among this family, the MdtABC pump is unusual by having two inner membrane components.
