Immune Checkpoints, a Novel Class of Therapeutic Targets for Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and type-1 diabetes, are the outcomes of a failure of immune tolerance. Immune tolerance is sustained through interplays between two inter-dependent clusters of immune activities: immune stimulation and ...

Cyanobacterial Production of Biopharmaceutical and Biotherapeutic Proteins
Efforts to express human therapeutic proteins in photosynthetic organisms have been described in the literature. Regarding microalgae, most of the research entailed a heterologous transformation of the chloroplast, but transformant cells failed to ...

Expression in Escherichia coli of a cloned DNA sequence encoding the pre-S2 region of hepatitis B virus [PDF]
A DNA sequence encoding the entire pre-S2 region (amino acids 120-174; serotype ayw) of human hepatitis B virus envelope protein has been inserted into the lacZ gene of the plasmid pSKS105 yielding a recombinant, pWS3.

ATP-independent Control of Vac8 Palmitoylation by a SNARE Subcomplex on Yeast Vacuoles [PDF]
Yeast vacuole fusion requires palmitoylated Vac8. We previously showed that Vac8 acylation occurs early in the fusion reaction, is blocked by antibodies against Sec18 (yeast N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF)), and is mediated by the R-SNARE

A Novel GLP-1 and FGF21 Fusion Protein for the Treatment of Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) [PDF]
Purpose: The objective of this study was to develop and produce a novel fusion protein that combines GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21), with the aim of achieving synergistic pharmacological effects through the ...

Protein-Protein Fusion Catalyzed by Sortase A
Chimeric proteins boast widespread use in areas ranging from cell biology to drug delivery. Post-translational protein fusion using the bacterial transpeptidase sortase A provides an attractive alternative when traditional gene fusion fails. We describe use of this enzyme for in vitro protein ligation and report the successful fusion of 10 pairs of ...
