DNA Sequencing> | … Cloning, expression and purification The DNA sequence coding for Lpp1663 was obtained as a synthetic gene (GenScript®) with the codon usage optimized for E. coli expression. It was cloned into a pET11a vector with an N-terminal hexahistidine tag and a TEV cleavage site … | Get A Quote |
Regulation of gene expression on a post-transcriptional level by small non-coding regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) is very common in bacteria. sRNAs base pair with sequences in their target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and thereby regulate translation initiation or mRNA stability. Specialized RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) facilitate these regulatory sRNA/mRNA interactions by acting as RNA chaperones. A well-known example for such an RNA chaperone which is widespread in bacteria is the Hfq protein. Recently, the ProQ/FinO protein family was identified as a new class of RNA chaperones involved in sRNA based regulation. Only a few members of this protein family have been structurally characterized so far. In particular, the st... More
