Suitable DNA codon for the linker (G4S)3 for expression in E. coli?

03 March 2013 1 8K Report

I want to link two proteins with the linker (G4S)3. The linked (fused) proteins will then be expressed in E. coli. I will therefore be grateful if anybody could recommend a suitable DNA codon for this linker.

Just check the bacterial codon usage and select those with the most frequency in bacteria.

What is the best way to test the binding affinity of a Ligand (MICA) and its receptor (NKG2D) expressed in E coli?

MICA and its receptor NKG2D were expressed as an inclusion bodies in E coli. It was therefore denatured and renatured employing dialysis method of refolding. Carrying out ELISA of MICA and it...

What pH of refolding buffer will be suitable for refolding (renaturing) a solubilized Inclusion Body of protein with isoelectric point (PI) 6.2?

I am trying to solubilize and refold an inclusion body of NKG2D with theoretical isoelectric point (PI) value of 6.2. I usually purify my solubilized protein with Nickel column (Elution buffer pH...

Can any one help me with a suitable protocol for double digestion of a vector(pET22b) and an insert (DNA) with BAHM1 and NOT1 restriction enzymes?

I want to insert my recombinant DNA of about 1650bp into pET22b which is about 5500bp. The resultant product from the ligation will be used for E. coli transformation. I seem not to get a...

Which cell line is the most suitable for the expression of the NKG2D receptor?

NKG2D is a receptor expressed on NK and T cells. I would be grateful if anybody could suggest a suitable cell line that can express NKG2D on its surface for in vitro studies.

I want to fuse MIC-A and ScFv with a linker, but I am confused about the construction. Please can you help? Should it be MICA-ScFv or ScFv-MICA?

I want to express these fused proteins and need to know which of the proteins should come first. This is to guide me in the primer design. MIC-A is a ligand of NKG2D and ScFv is a single chain...

Will His-tag affect the bioactivity of a protein if it is attached to the N-terminus of that protein.

I am studying the bioactivy of two fused proteins. In order for the fused proteins to retain their respective bioactivities, I have decided to fuse them with a linker at their C-termini. I still...
