Recent advances in heterologous gene expression in Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Recent advances in protein expression in E. coli have focused primarily on the enhancement of protein quality. Problems in mRNA translation such as inefficient initiation, mistranslation, frame-shifting and frame-hopping can often be addressed by altering heterologous gene-coding sequences. Fusion technology can also be used to address problems in translational initiation, the authenticity of amino-terminal amino acids, in vivo protein activity and protein purification. Accessory molecules, such as chaperones, are increasingly used to enhance protein quality in vivo and in vitro. E. coli has recently gained wide use as a host both for the engineering of proteins with altered activities and for the creation of multi-functional hybrids.

  • Vernalization and flowering time.

    abstract::Vernalization is the process by which flowering is promoted by prolonged exposure to the cold of a typical winter. In certain plant species, the role of vernalization is to suppress the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In Arabidopsis, this suppression is an epigenetic phenomenon in the sense th...
