June 15th, 2009
Scientists discuss in 'Expression and purification of human keratinocyte growth factor 2 by fusion with SUMO' new findings in life sciences. According to a study from Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, "Small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion system has been shown to be efficient for enhancing expression and preventing degradation of the target protein. We showed herein that SUMO fusion to human keratinocyte growth factor 2 (hKGF-2) gene was feasible and it significantly enhanced protein expression and its efficiency." "The fusion DNA fragment composed of SUMO gene, which was fused to hexahistidine tag, and hKGF-2 gene was amplified by PCR and inserted into...
