Periostin is a matricellular protein participating in the tissue remodelling of damaged cardiac tissue after acute myocardial infarction and of the periodontal ligament in mice. However, further studies on the periostin protein have been limited by the intrinsic difficulty of purifying this protein produced in Escherichia coli due to its insolubility. Here, we demonstrate the expression of recombinant periostin protein with high solubility and monodispersity in E. coli. Periostin is composed of an amino-terminal EMI domain, a tandem repeat of 4 fas1 domains (RD1-4), and a carboxyl-terminal region (CTR). We expressed the RD4-CTR region tagged with GST at amino-terminal and 6x Histidine at carboxyl-terminal end in E. coli. The recombinant protein was purified by using GSH-Sepharose and nickel chelation affinity chromatography, followed by gel filtration chromatography. The RD4-CTR protein exhibited high solubility and monodispersity. On average, 9.1 mg of purified RD4-CTR was routinely obtained from 1 L of culture media. Furthermore, the RD4-CTR was biochemically active, because it bound to the RD1-4, the same as intact periostin protein that had been purified from mammalian cells. Our results should enable us to produce the periostin recombinant protein in large quantities and facilitate future studies on functional and structural analyses of periostin.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D017398 Alternative Splicing A process whereby multiple RNA transcripts are generated from a single gene. Alternative splicing involves the splicing together of other possible sets of EXONS during the processing of some, but not all, transcripts of the gene. Thus a particular exon may be connected to any one of several alternative exons to form a mature RNA. The alternative forms of mature MESSENGER RNA produce PROTEIN ISOFORMS in which one part of the isoforms is common while the other parts are different.

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
