The genes encoding the mature forms of mouse (mOB) and human OB (hOB) protein (also called leptin) were fused to the secretion signal coding sequence of the Escherichia coli outer membrane protein A (sOMP A). The hybrid genes were preceded by a ribosome binding site (RBS) and were expressed under transcriptional control of both the lipoprotein promoter (Plpp) and the lac promoter-operator (POlac). The recombinant fusion proteins were efficiently expressed and exported into the periplasmic compartment of E. coli cells from where they were recovered by osmotic shock as soluble mature polypeptides with the sOMP A precisely removed. Recombinant mOB and hOB proteins were also produced in Sf9 insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Milligram quantities of both proteins were purified to homogeneity using ion-exchange, hydrophobic interaction chromatography and gel filtration and were found to be biologically active and to have antiobesity effects upon testing in genetically obese ob/ob mice.

They may be inbred or hybrid. Hyperglycemic Mice,Obese Mice,Mouse, Hyperglycemic,Mouse, Obese,Hyperglycemic Mouse,Mice, Hyperglycemic,Obese Mouse
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011506 Proteins Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein.
