  • The eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae is potentially a good expression host as it tolerates several stress conditions and is known to better express insoluble proteins compared to bacterial systems. (lu.se)
  • The "molecule" could for instance be a cancer cell or a viral protein. (igem.org)
  • Our analysis of this data reveals an absolute protein-to-RNA ratio of 10 2 -10 4 for bacterial populations and 10 3 -10 5 for an archaeon, which is more comparable to Eukaryotic representatives' humans and yeast. (nature.com)
  • While the field of microbiology has adapted to the study of complex microbiomes via modern meta-omics techniques, we have not updated our basic knowledge regarding the quantitative levels of DNA, RNA and protein molecules within a microbial cell, which ultimately control cellular function. (nature.com)
  • In this context, the exploration of temporal interplay between populations with different lifestyles (comprising metabolism, motility, sporulation, etc.) becomes of primary importance to interpret the changes in fundamental quantities in a microbial community, such as the protein-to-RNA ratio that ultimately impacts the overarching community phenotype(s). (nature.com)
  • Using a fluorescent sulfhydryl probe as well as a sulfhydryl inhibitor, one observes a strong cell density response, supporting the hypothesis that cellular redox potential could alter protein stability. (embl.de)
  • NEB has a long history in recombinant protein expression and has developed a wide array of solutions for proteins that are difficult to express. (neb.com)
  • The two most common problems during recombinant protein expression are low expression level and solubility of the target protein. (neb.com)
  • Herewe report the structure of a single-domain bacterial fasciclin I protein, Fdp, in the free-living photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, and show that it confers cell adhesion properties in vivo. (whiterose.ac.uk)
  • NEB also offers solutions for expressing these types of proteins, either in vitro or in vivo. (neb.com)
  • Two compounds, Compound 1 (1,4-dihydrophenanthrolin-4-one-3-carboxylic acid) and Compound 5 [8-(N-butyl-N-ethylcarbamoyl)-1,4-dihydrophenathrolin-4-one-3-carboxylic acid], with comparable potencies in vivo, were chosen to investigate the effect of the inhibition of the hydroxylation of newly synthesized uterine collagen on the turnover of this protein in vivo. (embl.de)
  • Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. (bvsalud.org)
  • Eukaryotic DNA repair helicase RAD3/ERCC-2, an ATP-dependent 5'-3' DNA helicase involved in nucleotide excision repair of UV-damaged DNA. (embl.de)
  • After expression, the protein is captured by means of immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). (genengnews.com)
  • This makes them suitable for the purification of proteins from eukaryotic samples, thereby extending the use of polyhistidine proteins from bacterial to more complex expression systems. (genengnews.com)
  • The expression of IdeS was followed by constructing a fused protein with GFP and measuring the fluorescence with flow cytometry. (lu.se)
  • Thanks for holding, and welcome to the New England BioLabs Solutions for the Expression of Difficult Proteins conference call. (neb.com)
  • Welcome to everyone who has chosen to join us for this information session on solutions for the expression of difficult proteins. (neb.com)
  • First let me address the problem of low target protein expression. (neb.com)
  • Finally, low expression may be due to uncontrolled expression of toxic protein during the culture outgrowth phase. (neb.com)
