Gene Synthesis> | … Louis, USA) 22 Protein expression and purification The cDNA coding residues 1–125 NS4B of DENV-2 (NS4B 1–125 ) were synthesized by Genscript and cloned into the Nde I and Xho I sites of pET-29b to generate a new plasmid-pET29-NS4B-1–125 … | Get A Quote |
The transmembrane NS4B protein of dengue virus (DENV) is a validated antiviral target that plays important roles in viral replication and invasion of innate immune response. The first 125 amino acids of DENV NS4B are sufficient for inhibition of alpha/beta interferon signaling. Resistance mutations to NS4B inhibitors are all mapped to the first 125 amino acids. In this study, we expressed and purified a protein representing the first 125 amino acids of NS4B (NS4B(1-125)). This recombinant NS4B(1-125) protein was reconstituted into detergent micelles. Solution NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that there are five helices (α1 to α5) present in NS4B(1-125). Dynamic studies, together with a paramagnetic relaxatio... More
