12 results about "Leucine zipper" patented technology

A leucine zipper (or leucine scissors) is a common three-dimensional structural motif in proteins. They were first described by Landschulz and collaborators in 1988 when they found that an enhancer binding protein had a very characteristic 30-amino acid segment and the display of these amino acid sequences on an idealized alpha helix revealed a periodic repetition of leucine residues at every seventh position over a distance covering eight helical turns. The polypeptide segments containing these periodic arrays of leucine residues were proposed to exist in an alpha-helical conformation and the leucine side chains from one alpha helix interdigitate with those from the alpha helix of a second polypeptide, facilitating dimerization.

Method for improving prokaryotic expression quantity of CRISPR-dCas9 protein

PendingCN121362771AHydrolasesMicroorganism based processesVersus geneChaperone (protein)
The invention relates to a method for improving the prokaryotic expression quantity of CRISPR-dCas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) protein. Specifically, the invention relates to a method for improving the expression level of dCas9 protein in a prokaryotic cell, and a leucine zipper gene sequence and a dCas9 gene sequence are connected and introduced into the prokaryotic cell. According to the method, the high-purity and high-concentration dCas9 protein can be obtained, the expression quantity of the dCas9 protein is remarkably higher than that of a common method using maltose binding protein (MBP) as a fusion molecular chaperone, the obtained dCas9-lzip fusion protein still has the capability of being normally combined with DNA in a targeted manner under the guidance of sgRNA, and the function of dCas9 is not influenced by connection of a lzip sequence.

Application of soybean GmbZIP104 gene in adaptation of plants to high-salt environmental stress

The invention discloses application of a soybean GmbZIP104 gene in adaptation of plants to high-salt environmental stress, and belongs to the technical field of plant genetic engineering. The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of the GmbZIP104 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1; as shown in SEQ ID NO. 2, the amino acid sequence of the GmbZIP104 is shown in SEQ ID NO. The soybean GmbZIP104 gene disclosed by the invention is used for coding a transcription factor consisting of an alkaline region and a leucine zipper structure. The expression quantity is reduced under the condition of soybean salt stress, and by knocking out the GmbZIP104 gene in a soybean body, the symptom represented by the soybean subjected to the salt stress can be relieved; overexpression of the GmbZIP104 gene (GmbZIP104-OE) can cause the salt stress symptom aggravation of soybeans, and the GmbZIP104 gene is a negative regulation salt stress gene. The gene provides a new target gene for breeding a high-salt soybean variety, and provides a theoretical basis for cultivating a high-quality salt-tolerant soybean variety.

Truncated transposase, transposome system and applications thereof

The application provides a truncated transposase, a transposon system and application thereof. Compared with a wild-type PS transposase, the truncated transposase lacks 1-50 amino acids at the C terminal of the wild-type PS transposase, preferably 44 amino acids. By deleting the amino acids at the C terminal of the transposase which have less influence on transposition, the length of the transposase is shortened, which is beneficial to the expression of the transposase and the preparation of a fusion protein, so that a transposase or a fusion protein thereof with higher catalytic activity and smaller size is obtained. The application also provides a fusion protein of the transposase, which is preferably fused with a leucine zipper through a linker, and a transposon system comprising the transposase and the transposon, which has great application value in the transgenic industry.
