A practical method for efficient and optimal production of Seleno‐methionine‐labeled recombinant protein complexes in the insect cells [PDF]
, 2019 The use of Seleno‐methionine (SeMet) incorporated protein crystals for single or multi‐wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD or MAD) to facilitate phasing has become almost synonymous with modern X‐ray crystallography.

De novo formation of an aggregation pheromone precursor by an isoprenyl diphosphate synthase-related terpene synthase in the harlequin bug. [PDF]
, 2018 Insects use a diverse array of specialized terpene metabolites as pheromones in intraspecific interactions. In contrast to plants and microbes, which employ enzymes called terpene synthases (TPSs) to synthesize terpene metabolites, limited information ...

Cell-cycle-dependent resistance toBacillus thuringiensisCry1C toxin in Sf9 cells [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2005 The Sf9 cell line, derived from the moth Spodoptera frugiperda, is highly and specifically sensitive to the Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1C toxin. Upon exposure to Cry1C, ionic pores are formed in the plasma membrane leading to cell swelling and death. Here, we describe a unique transient tolerance to Cry1C of dividing cells, which allowed completion of ...

Baculovirus-Mediated Expression of Human 65 kDa and 67 kDa Glutamic Acid Decarboxylases in SF9 Insect Cells and Their Relevance in Diagnosis of Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus [PDF]
, 1993 cDNAs coding for the full-length human 65 and 67 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylases (GAD65 and GAD67) were amplified from pancreas and hippocampus cDNA libraries by polymerase chain reaction, respectively. Both cDNAs were inserted into a baculovirus vector

A Modular Vaccine Platform Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Based on Self‐Assembled Protein Nanoparticles
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A modular BP26 nanoparticle vaccine platform incorporating the SpyTag/SpyCatcher system enables high‐density, repetitive antigen display with post‐expression flexibility. Conjugation of the SARS‐CoV‐2 RBD to BP26 nanoparticles elicits strong humoral immunity and confers protection against viral challenge in vivo.

Drf1-dependent Kinase Interacts with Claspin through a Conserved Protein Motif [PDF]
, 2010 The Dbf4/Drf1-dependent kinase (DDK) is required for the initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotes. Another protein, Claspin, mediates the activation of a cellular checkpoint response to stalled replication forks and is also a regulator of replication.
