35 results about "Protein Cleavage" patented technology

Protein Cleavage. Protein Cleavage involves hydrolysis by proteolytic enzymes of specific peptide bond(s), forming smaller polypeptides in the target protein during maturation or modification of functional activity.

Bone matrix compositions and methods

The present invention provides methods of improving the osteogenic and / or chondrogenic activity of a bone matrix, e.g., a dermineralized bone matrix (DBM), by exposing the bone matrix to one or more treatments or conditions. In preferred embodiments the bone matrix is derived from human bone. The treatment or condition may alter the structure of the bone matrix and / or cleave one or more specific proteins. Cleavage may generate peptides or protein fragments that have osteoinductive, osteogenic, or chondrogenic activity. Preferred treatments include collagenase and various other proteases. The invention further provides improved bone and cartilage matrix compositions that have been prepared according to the inventive methods and methods of treatment using the compositions. The invention further provides methods of preparing, testing, and using the improved bone matrix compositions. Ona assay comprises exposing relatively undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to a bone matrix composition and measuring expression of a marker characteristic of osteoblast or chondrocyte lineage(s). Increased expression of the marker relative to the level of the marker in cells that have been exposed to a control matrix (e.g., an inactivated or untreated matrix) indicates that the treatment or condition increased the osteogenic and / or chondrogenic activity of the bone matrix. Suitable cells include C2C12 cells. A suitable marker is alkaline phosphatase. The inventive methods increase the osteogenic and / or chondrogenic activity of human DBM when tested using this assay system.

Method for selectively collecting N-terminal peptide fragment of protein

The present invention provides a method for selectively collecting the N-terminal peptide fragments of a protein of interest whether or not the protein of interest is modified on the N-terminus. A method for selectively collecting the N-terminal peptide fragment of a protein, comprising: a protection step (1) of protecting side chain-amino groups of amino acid residues containing side chain-amino groups of a protein of interest to obtain a protected protein protected on the side chain-amino groups; a fragmentation step (2) of cleaving the protected protein into one N-terminal peptide fragment (a) containing the N-terminus of the peptide of interest and one or more of peptide fragments (b) other than the N-terminal peptide fragment (a); and a separation step (3) of separating the N-terminal peptide fragment (a) from the other peptide fragments (b) by selectively eluting the N-terminal peptide fragment (a) based on the difference in their reactivity or affinity to substrate, wherein the selective elution is achieved either by allowing the other peptide fragments (b) to bind to the substrate while allowing the N-terminal peptide fragment (a) to elute, or by allowing the N-terminal peptide fragment (a) to bind to the substrate while allowing the other peptide fragments (b) to elute and subsequently eluting the bound N-terminal peptide fragment (a).

Method for immobilizing human source arginase-1 through surface display

The invention discloses a method for immobilizing human source arginase-1 through surface display. The method comprises the steps of adding signal peptide and charged polypeptide to the amino terminal of a protein cleavage variant (InaK-N) formed on an ice core, fusing human source arginase-1 into the carboxyl terminal, and designing an HA label at the carboxyl terminal; constructing various recombinant plasmids to convert competent escherichia coli cells, so that different genetic engineering strains are obtained; conducting shake-flask culture on the strains; detecting the display efficiency and enzyme activity of human source arginase-1; selecting the strain with the highest enzyme activity for mass culture, conducting efficient L-arginine conversion, and synthesizing L-ornithine. Human source arginase-1 fused in the protein cleavage variant formed on the ice core is effectively displayed on the surface of an escherichia coli cell, so that human source arginase-1 is immobilized. Compared with an original ice core protein display system, the method has the advantage that the display efficiency and enzyme activity of human source arginase-1 are improved remarkably. Compared with a chitin immobilizing method, the method has the advantages that cost is reduced, process is shortened, and purification steps are simplified.

RT-LAMP detection primer group and kit for identifying H7 subtype HPAIV and LPAIV and application thereof

The invention belongs to the technical field of avian virus detection, and particularly relates to an RT-LAMP detection primer group and kit for identifying H7 subtype HPAIV and LPAIV and an application thereof. According to the RT-LAMP detection primer group and kit for identifying the H7 subtype HPAIV and LPAIV and the application thereof, an LAMP nucleic acid detection technology serves as a basis, amino acid sequences of an H7 subtype AIV HA protein cleavage sites are fully taken into account, two detection methods of universal LAMP and identification LAMP are specifically established. Theuniversal LAMP can simultaneously detect H7 subtype HPAIV and LPAIV, the identification LAMP can only detect H7 subtype LPAIV, and a new method for preliminary typing of H7 subtype AIV is provided. By optimizing each reaction condition, the detection method for H7 subtype avian influenza and H7 subtype attenuated strains is established, and the specificity and sensitivity experimental verifications are carried out on the detection method. By reacting for two hours at 62 DEG C in a turbidity meter, the H7 subtype avian influenza and the H7 subtype attenuated strains can be specifically identified and do not have cross reaction with other subtype avian influenza, and at least 10 copies of viral nucleic acids per microliter can be detected.

Rothia subtilisins, s8a family proteases, as therapeutic enzymes for application in gluten-intolerance disorders

ActiveUS20190040375A1Improve clinical symptomAlleviate symptomPeptide/protein ingredientsPeptidasesPeptide bondCoeliac disease
There are gluten-degrading enzymes found in Rothia species bacteria that are subtilisins that belonging to the S8A family of serine protease family. The Rothia sp. derived subtilisin-like enzymes have the conserved catalytic triad composed of a Ser, His, and Asp residues that is characteristic of the serine protease family. The Rothia subtilisin enzymes are potent at cleaving proline-containing proteins, cleaving the second peptide bond after proline in the XPX1 motif, where X is any amino acid, P is proline and X1 is a hydrophobic amino acid, e.g. the XPQ motif, where Q is glutamine. Embodiments herein provide isolated enzyme compositions and formulations comprising subtilisins gluten-degrading enzyme from a Rothia species bacteria. Also provided herein are methods of treatment of celiac disease or a related disorder, treatment of gluten-containing foodstuff, degrading and / or detoxifying gluten comprising the subtilisins gluten-degrading enzyme and / or compositions.

Human REV3L protein cleavage inhibitor and application thereof

The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a human REV3L protein cleavage inhibitor and application thereof. The invention discloses a drug for improvingsensitivity of tumor cells to DNA damage and controlling drug resistance of tumor cells. The action target of the drug is obtained by a protease TASP1 mediated human REV3L protein position specific cleavage event. The inventor finds that the human REV3L protein has a TASP1 mediated sequence dependent protein cleavage event; polyubiquitination modification of REV3L protein and proteasome mediated degradation can be effectively promoted by interfering the REV3L protein cleavage event, so that low-fidelity cross-damage DNA synthesis activity in tumor cells is further reduced, DNA mutation inducedby DNA damage is reduced, sensitivity of tumor cells to DNA damage is remarkably improved, and therefore, a new potential drug target is provided for enhancing the radiotherapy and chemotherapy effects of tumors and other diseases taking induction of DNA damage as a molecular basis and controlling generation of drug resistance.
