An artificial synthetic gene coding for human eIF-4E was cloned into an expression vector and direct expression was attempted in Escherichia coli [BL21(DE3) strain] under the control of T7 promoter. The active gene product which was induced in high yield (ca. 4 mg/100 ml) by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside was purified to homogeneity by a two-step chromatographic procedure with a good yield (ca. 74%), and was confirmed to be recombinant human eIF-4E by amino acid composition and sequence analyses, isoelectric focusing, and absorption spectral measurements. The identity of three-dimensional structures between the recombinant and native human eIF-4Es was confirmed by CD and fluorescence measurements.

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
