Recombinant proteinase 3 (Wegener's antigen) expressed in Pichia pastoris is functionally active and is recognized by patient sera.

Abstract:

:The open reading frame of human proteinase 3 (PR3) without the prepro-peptide was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli (rcPR3) and in Pichia pastoris (rpPR3). The 6-histidine tagged rpPR3 was efficiently secreted into culture supernatant from which it could be purified by immobilized metal chelate chromatography. Purified rpPR3 migrated as a single 32-kD band on SDS-PAGE and harboured protease activity that could be inhibited with inhibitors specific for serine-proteases. By indirect antigen-capture ELISA using rpPR3, 60% of sera from patients with Wegener's granulomatosis bound to the recombinant product, although it was not recognized in ELISA with directly coated rpPR3.

  • Functional platelet-derived growth factor-beta (PDGF-beta) receptor expressed on early B-lineage precursor cells.

    abstract::Growth and maturation of B lymphocytes from stem cells require a series of complex processes that are dependent at least in part on growth factors. Uncontrolled expression of receptors from these early growth factors may contribute to a leukaemogenesis of such early B cell progenitors. We show here that early pre-pre-...
