Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
expression in Escherichia coli. Chi255 is excessively degraded by the action of Escherichia coli proteases. When the chitin binding domain (CBD) is deleted from Chi255, an active form (Chi2555DELTA5) of expected size of about 60000 Da is extracted from the Escherichia coli periplasmic fraction, without the observation of any proteolytic degradation Bacillus thuringiensis

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information in vitro progressive C-terminal Chi255 deleted derivatives are constructed in order to study their stability and their activity in Escherichia coli. When the chitin binding domain (CBD) is deleted from Chi255, an active form (Chi2555DELTA5) of expected size of about 60000 Da is extracted from the Escherichia coli periplasmic fraction, without the observation of any proteolytic degradation. Compared to Chi255, Chi255DELTA5 exhibits a higher chitinase activity on colloidal chitin. Both of the enzymes exhibit activities at broad pH and temperature ranges with maximal enzyme activities at pH 5 and pH 6 and at temperatures 50°C and 40°C, respectively for Chi255 and Chi255D5 Bacillus thuringiensis
