Overview of fusion tags for recombinant proteins
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2016Virtually all recombinant proteins are now prepared using fusion domains also known as "tags". The use of tags helps to solve some serious problems: to simplify procedures of protein isolation, to increase expression and solubility of the desired protein, to simplify protein refolding and increase its efficiency, and to prevent proteolysis.

Application of Recombinant Fusion Proteins for Tissue Engineering
Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 2010Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays important roles in tissue engineering because cellular growth and differentiation, in the two-dimensional cell culture as well as in the three-dimensional space of the developing organism, require ECM with which the cells can interact. Also, the development of new synthetic ECMs is very important because ECMs facilitate

Fusion tails for the recovery and purification of recombinant proteins
Protein Expression and Purification, 1991Several fusion tail systems have been developed to promote efficient recovery and purification of recombinant proteins from crude cell extracts or culture media. In these systems, a target protein is genetically engineered to contain a C- or N-terminal polypeptide tail, which provides the biochemical basis for specificity in recovery and purification ...

Antigenicity of a recombinant Ro (SS‐A) fusion protein
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1990AbstractThe antigenicity of the 60‐kd human Ro (SS‐A) synthesized in vitro from its complementary DNA as a β‐galactosidase fusion protein (β‐gal—Ro) was evaluated by Western blotting. In this analysis, almost all the anti‐Ro (SS‐A)‐positive sera that bound β‐gal‐Ro also bound affinity‐purified 60‐kd human Ro (SS‐A) (P > 0.005).

Engineering of a recombinant colorimetric fusion protein for immunodiagnosis of insulin
Journal of Immunological Methods, 1996A synthetic DNA encoding human proinsulin was inserted in frame in the bacterial alkaline phosphatase gene. A homogeneous recombinant human proinsulin-alkaline phosphatase conjugate was obtained directly from the periplasm of Escherichia coli transformed with a plasmid carrying the hybrid gene. The recombinant conjugate was stable and could be produced

Staphylokinase as a Plasminogen Activator Component in Recombinant Fusion Proteins
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1999ABSTRACT The plasminogen activator staphylokinase (SAK) is a promising thrombolytic agent for treatment of myocardial infarction. It can specifically stimulate the thrombolysis of both erythrocyte-rich and platelet-rich clots.

The solubility and stability of recombinant proteins are increased by their fusion to NusA
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004The new bacterial vector pETM60 enables the expression of His-tagged recombinant proteins fused to the C-terminus of NusA through a TEV protease recognition sequence. Three sequences coding for two protein domains (Xklp3A and Tep3Ag) and one membrane-bound viral protein (E8R) could not be expressed in a soluble form in bacteria.

The Use of Recombinant Fusion Proteases in the Affinity Purification of Recombinant Proteins
Molecular Biotechnology, 1999In the affinity purification of recombinant fusion proteins, the rate-limiting step is usually the efficient proteolytic cleavage and removal of the affinity tail and the protease from the purified recombinant protein. We have developed a rapid, convenient, and efficient method of affinity purification that can overcome this limitation.

Thrombolytic and anticoagulant effects of a recombinant staphylokinase-hirudin fusion protein
Thrombosis Research, 2021A pure recombinant staphylokinase-hirudin fusion protein (SFH) was obtained by recombinant genetic engineering and purification techniques. The thrombolytic and anticoagulant activities of SFH were investigated using in vitro coagulation models and chromogenic assays.
