1. 1. Recombinant production of spider silk for enzymatic phosphorylation

   University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

   Author : Kristel Jaiu; [2022]
   Keywords : Caddisfly larval silk; FN-4RepCT; phosphorylation; protein kinase A; recombinant spider silk; Nattsländesilke; FN-4RepCT; fosforylering; proteinkinas A; rekombinant spindeltrådsilke;

   Abstract : Ett rekombinant framställt miniatyrspindelsilkeprotein, funktionaliserat med ett Arg-Gly-Asp-motiv som finns i fibronektin, FN-4RepCT, har använts för många olika bioteknologiska tillämpningar, som vävnadsteknik och cellodling, i form av fibrer, filmer och skum. FN-4RepCT kan produceras i Escherichia coli, och det interagerar spontant med sig självt och bildar fibrer under fysiologiska förhållanden. READ MORE

3. 2. Determination of gp120 & Trx80 dependent production of hydrogen peroxide in cell free & cell-dependent systems

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Sadaf Sakina Alam; [2009]
   Keywords : hydrogen peroxide; gp120; HIV; thioredoxin; trx; trx80; amplex;

   Abstract : Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a reactive oxygen specie (ROS), is most commonly associated with oxidative stress causing cytotoxic effects on living cells. Oxidative stress has been implicated in various conditions including neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancer. READ MORE

4. 3. Characterization of two Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases from Thermophilic Organisms Pyrococcus furiosus and Aquifex aeolicus : Characterization of two Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Karin Fürtenbach; [2008]
   Keywords : PDO; protein disulfide oxidoreductase; Pyrococcus furiosus; Aquifex aeolicus; disulfide;

   Abstract : Members of the thioredoxin superfamily of proteins catalyze disulfide bond reduction and oxidation using the active site C-X-X-C sequence. In hyperthermophilic organisms, cysteine side chains were expected in low abundance since they were not believed to endure the high temperatures under which they grow. READ MORE

5. 4. Selenocytotoxicity and redoxsystems : The effect of selenocompounds on redoxsystems in tumor cells

   University essay from Akademin för hållbar samhälls- och teknikutveckling

   Author : Marita Wallenberg; [2008]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract :   The Thioredoxin (Trx) and Glutaredoxin (Grx) system are two major antioxidant redoxsystems in the cells that prevent and respond to oxidative stress, which is a well known factor in aging and causing several diseases, like neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes and cancer. Oxidative stress also can be described as an imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the cellular protection. READ MORE

6. 5. Rye cell wall β-glucosidase: subcloning, expression and purification of recombinant protein from E.coli

   University essay from Institutionen för livsvetenskaper

   Author : Nicolas Rochereau; [2007]
   Keywords : rye; defense system; β-glucosidase; subcloning; his-tag; thioredoxin-tag; E.coli; Ni-NTA; western blot;

   Abstract : Several plant defense systems consist of enzymes that act on glucosides and produce a toxic compound. In the intact plant tissue the substrate and enzyme are kept apart. The system studied here consists of the substrate 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-4-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one and the enzyme glucan 1,3-β-glucosidase in rye. READ MORE
