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.

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.

Purification of recombinant proteins by fusion with thermally-responsive polypeptides
Nature Biotechnology, 1999Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) undergo a reversible, inverse phase transition. Below their transition temperature (Tt), ELPs are soluble in water, but when the temperature is raised above Tt, phase transition occurs, leading to aggregation of the polypeptide. We demonstrate a method for purification of soluble fusion proteins incorporating an ELP tag.

Cytotoxic Activity of Recombinant bFGF–rViscumin Fusion Proteins
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2000A fusion protein (bFGF-rMLA), containing the mitogen basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and the cytotoxic component of rViscumin (recombinant mistletoe lectin), the enzymatic A-chain (rMLA), was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and functionally characterized.

Expression and Purification of Recombinant Proteins by Fusion to Maltose-Binding Protein
Molecular Biotechnology, 2000The pMAL vectors provide a method for purifying proteins from cloned genes by fusing them to maltose-binding protein (MBP, product of malE), which binds to amylose. The vectors use the tac promoter and the translation initiation signals of MBP to give high-level expression of the fusion, and an affinity purification for MBP to isolate the fusion ...

Preparation of Recombinant RNase Single-Chain Antibody Fusion Proteins
Molecular Biotechnology, 2002This article describes the construction, expression, and purification of RNase single-chain antibody fusion proteins. To construct a fusion protein, the gene for each moiety, the RNase and the binding ligand, is modified separately to contain complementary DNA encoding a 13 amino acid spacer that separates the RNase from the binding moiety.

Production of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli tagged with the fusion protein CusF3H+
Protein Expression and Purification, 2017Recombinant protein expression in the bacterium Escherichia coli still is the number one choice for large-scale protein production. Nevertheless, many complications can arise using this microorganism, such as low yields, the formation of inclusion bodies, and the requirement for difficult purification steps.

Recombinant Human Hb‐SOD Fusion Proteins
2013Hemoglobin (Hb) can produce reactive oxygen species, including superoxide anions, which are intrinsically toxic. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is present in red blood cells (RBCs) and provides important protection against such oxidative stress. Upon hemolysis, Hb becomes released from the RBCs and the normal protection systems involving SOD and catalase ...

Self-cleaving fusion tags for recombinant protein production
Biotechnology Letters, 2011Fusion expression is a common practice for recombinant protein production. Some fusion tags confer solubility on the target protein whereas others provide affinity handles that facilitate purification. However, the tag usually needs to be removed from the final product, which involves using expensive proteases or hazardous chemicals and requires ...
