We cloned, expressed, and purified the Escherichia coli yhbO gene product, which is an aminoacid sequence homolog to the Bacillus subtilis general stress protein 18 (the yfkM gene product), the Pyrococcus furiosus intracellular ...

We cloned, expressed, and purified the hdeB gene product, which belongs to the hdeAB acid stress operon. We extracted HdeB from bacteria by the osmotic-shock procedure and purified it to homogeneity by ionexchange chromatography ...

We reported recently that the Parkinsonism-associated protein DJ-1 and its bacterial homologs Hsp31, YhbO and YajL function as deglycases that repair proteins and nucleotides from endogeneous glycation by glyoxal and ...

We used preS2-S′-β-galactosidase, a three-domain fusion protein that aggregates extensively at 43°C in the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli, to search for multicopy suppressors of protein aggregation and inclusion body formation ...

Escherichia coli contains two thioredoxins, Trx1 and Trx2, and a thioredoxin-like protein, YbbN, which presents a strong homology in its N-terminal part with thioredoxins, and possesses a 20 kDa C-terminal part of unknown ...
