Golgi enzymes are retrieved from the plasma membrane to the trans‐Golgi network

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Golgi enzymes are traditionally considered resident proteins retained within the Golgi apparatus. Here, we demonstrate that a subset transiently reaches the cell surface and is subsequently retrieved to the trans‐Golgi network via retrograde transport. Using a nanobody‐based toolkit, we uncover a dynamic trafficking cycle of several Golgi enzymes.

Heterologous Expression and Transglycosylation of Acarviosyltransferase [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
In order to further investigate the structural properties and catalytic function of acarviosyltransferase (ATase), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of acarbose, its gene (acbD) was cloned from Actinoplanes sp.

Cloning and expression of Burkholderia polyyne biosynthetic gene clusters in Paraburkholderia hosts provides a strategy for biopesticide development

Microbial Biotechnology, 2022
Burkholderia have potential as biocontrol agents because they encode diverse biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for a range of antimicrobial metabolites.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Expression of functional plant lectins in heterologous systems [PDF]

, 2000
The mannose-binding lectin from snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin; GNA) was produced in Escherichia coli and purified as a functional protein after denturation/renaturation.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Heterologous expression and characterisation of microcystinase

Toxicon, 2012
The first enzyme in the microcystin (MC) degradation pathway identified in bacterial strains is coded by mlrA gene and is referred to as microcystinase. To date, there has been no biochemical characterisation of this enzyme. The results presented herein show a successful heterologous expression of MlrA as well as mutational studies, partial ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Heterologous Expression of Functional Ptr ToxA

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Ptr ToxA, a proteinaceous host-selective toxin (HST) produced by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified as a polyhistidine-tagged, fusion protein (NC-FP).

Versatile vector tools for efficient protein screening across multiple expression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A unified vector toolkit enables rapid protein expression screening across E. coli, insect, and mammalian cells. A single primer pair amplifies the target gene, which is inserted into any vector via a standardized interface. This streamlined workflow eliminates repeated cloning steps, accelerating the identification of optimal expression conditions for
