Gene Synthesis> | The synthesized BirA gene (GenScript, Piscataway, NJ, USA) was inserted into the BsmBI-BlnI site of pBac[SerUAS_FibHsig_hr5/3xP3-AmCyan_A3-Bla] to generate pBac[SerUAS_FibHsig_BirA/3xP3-AmCyan]. | Get A Quote |
Here, we demonstrated the expression of the N-glycosylated extracellular ligand binding domain of receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) in middle silk glands (MSGs) of transgenic silkworms using the GAL4/UAS system. Over 1 mg of sRAGE was obtained from one transgenic silkworm. sRAGE purified from the silkworm exhibited good stability and maintained specific ligand-binding ability. In addition, N-glycan analysis of sRAGE revealed that N-glucan completely lacked potentially allergenic fucose. Moreover, co-expression of biotin ligase (BirA) with C-terminal BioEase-tagged sRAGE in MSGs resulted in efficient biotinylation of sRAGE after addition of biotin bait. C-terminal biotinylated sRAGE co... More
