Abstract
Background: The over-expression of recombinant proteins in large amount is important for production of therapeutic proteins and structural study. There are several systems for expression of recombinant proteins. One of the most relevant expression systems is Escherichia coli (E. coli). Although this organism has many advantages, most of recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli
hosts form inclusion bodies. For gaining biological activities, these structures should be refolded. Many techniques have been developed for in vitro protein refolding.
Methods:
In this study, a method was designed for inclusion body solubilization and protein refolding. IBs were solubilized in the solution containing 2M urea. This is a mild solubilization method without creating random coil structures in the protein.
Results
: Inclusion bodies undergo mild solubilization with maintain native-like secondary structures. Solubilized proteins were refolded on chromatography column by using native buffer conditions. The results showed the recombinant proteins were purified with high efficiency without aggregation.
Conclusions
: The results suggest that this method is easy, efficient, cheap procedure and usable for obtaining refolded recombinant proteins. In addition, purified protein with the method can be used in diagnosis and/or treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) is among the most destructive pathogens of citrus and causes substantial economic losses in citrus-growing industry worldwide. Considering recent distribution of this pathogen and its capability of transmission by existing aphid vectors in Iran, detection of this virus is enforceable for controlling the damage caused by this pathogen in Iran, as one of the major citrus producing countries. Toward this aim, developing a reliable and sensitive detection method such as enzyme- linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) would be the first step to detect CTV in large scale screenings of field samples. As the serological method requires great amounts of specific antibody, the consequent preparation of a large scale antigen source for immunization process is necessary. In this study the coat protein gene of CTV (CP25) was amplified by polymerase chain reaction from a cloned CP25 gene in pTZ57R/T and subcloned in pET26b expression vector and named pET-CP25. Two Escherichia coli strains of BL21 and Rosetta Gami (DE3) were transformed by pET-CP25. Expression of recombinant protein was induced by IPTG. The authenticity of recombinant protein was confirmed by western immunoblot analysis using a polyclonal antiserum against CTV particles. The results indicated that CTV coat protein gene was expressed in E.coli. This recombinant protein could be used as a source of antigen for immunization process.

Abstract
Production of recombinant proteins such as β-NGF using prokaryotic hosts is the topic of many recent researches. However, bacterial cell culture media are cheaper than eukaryotic cell culture media, but in industrial production scale they are not cost effective at all for biotech companies. Therefore, survey to find inexpensive cell culture medium that bacterial cells not only can grow in it but also produce recombinant proteins is very important. In this study, for the first time date syrup and yeast extract mixture was used as an inexpensive medium. In RSM (response surface methodology) studies different concentrations of date syrup and yeast extract were used as carbon and nitrogen sources respectively. The results indicate that the 20 g/lit of carbon and 5 g/lit of nitrogen are optimum for bacterial growth. Also the data show that recombinant bacteria not only can grow but also can produce recombinant proteins such as β-NGF using this synthetic medium.

Abstract
In this research, microbial, recombinant and animal rennet were used in the production of Iranian white cheese. The produced cheeses were compared regarding the yields of product, the rates of the proteolysis index, chemical, textural and some sensory properties during ripening period. The results indicated that there were significant differences in total solid content, salt and pH values of cheese samples (P< 0.05). The highest and lowest yields of cheeses were obtained with animal and microbial rennet, respectively. The proteolysis rates were significantly different with three produced cheese samples (P< 0.05). It was significantly higher with microbial cheese than with other samples. The hardness of cheeses produced using animal and microbial rennet were respectively maximal and minimal at the end of the ripening period. The observations of protein network arrangement also showed that the protein content of matrix has been decreased during the repining period. The maximal and minimal decrements were belonged to the cheeses produced by microbial and animal rennet, respectively. The highest and lowest sensory scores were obtained with control sample (animal rennet-based cheese) and microbial rennet-based cheese. According to this research, the cheese produced by microbial rennet showed lower quality compared to the animal and recombinant rennet. In general, because of the low availability of animal rennet and low quality of the cheese produced by microbial rennet, it seems that the recombinant rennet can be used as a proper substitute in cheese production industry.

Abstract
The legume crops such as chickpea and lentils are mainly cultivated in semi-arid tropical lands. Chickpea chlorotic dwarf virus (CpCDV) causes major losses to legumes throughout the world. Producing of specific antibody against this virus is crucial for surveys of disease in the fields and assessment of vial resistance in plant cultivars. Present article describes developing of specific antibody against the CpCDV virus by applying recombinant protein. In this study, coat protein of CpCDV was selected as a target for detection and preparation of polyclonal antibody. To achieve this aim CP gene encoding coat protein of CpCDV was initially PCR-amplified and inserted into bacterial expression vector. Expression of recombinant protein was performed in Bl21 strain of Escherichia coli. Purification was carried out under native conditions and the accuracy of recombinant protein production was confirmed by electrophoresis. The purified recombinant coat protein of CpCDV was used for immunization of rabbit. Purification of immunoglobulin molecules was performed by affinity chromatography using protein A column followed by conjugating of IgG to alkaline phosphatase enzyme. The capability of purified antibodies and conjugates for efficient detection of infected plants was assessed by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA), western blotting and dot immunosorbent assay (DIBA). These results proved that prepared IgG and conjugate are able to distinguish with high efficiency CpCDV infected plants. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for production of anti-CpCDV antibodies raised through recombinant protein technology.

Abstract
Introduction: Growth hormone is a non-glycosylated polypeptide strand of the pituitary glands of all vertebrates that has a wide range of biological activities and considering the importance of this hormone and its importance and diverse therapeutic applications in medicine, its recombinant production can be of great importance. In recent decades, protein engineering and genetic engineering have resulted in a high level of expression and production of this protein in a variety of hosts, including Escherichia coli bacteria using new techniques and methodes, hormone purification and assay are carried out easily. Therefore, the aim of this review was to investigate the production of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) and future challenges.
Conclusion: One of the problems of the expression and purification of the human growth hormone may involve that maybe noted the production of inclusion bodies in the expression of recombinant proteins in the cell cytoplasm, the contamination caused by host proteins, low protein recovery from these inclusion bodies, low protein secretion into the Periplasmic space, high cost of production, especially in Purification stage and so on. Due to the lack of need for glycosylated hormone and high efficiency and simplicity of work, bacterial systems, especially Escherichia coli, are the most economical and effective systems for the expression of heterologous proteins. The hormone purification stage is usually the most costly process. Therefore, an optimal design for achieving the highest target protein recovery with the elimination of all contamination from the final product and reducing the purification step is required.

Abstract
Aims: There are several cell disruption methods for intracellular protein extraction. The aim of this study was to select the best approach for recombinant teriparatide fusion protein extraction from E. coli and achieve the best purification conditions.
Materials & Methods: In this experimental research, bacterial cells were disrupted by different methods such as sonication in different cycles, grinding with liquid nitrogen in two different cell culture volumes, and homogenization at two different pressures. The supernatant and pellet samples were run on sodium dodecyl sulphate gel. All the cell lysates were cultured on LB agar medium and stained with Gram staining method. The Ni2+ affinity chromatography of recombinant teriparatide fusion protein was done under denaturing and non-denaturing conditions, using pH and imidazole concentration gradient, respectively. All samples were taken on sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel and the amount of purified protein was calculated by Micro-Bradford assay.
Findings: In the 20 and 25 cycles, a large part of the fusion protein led to protein solubilization. In the method of grinding with liquid nitrogen, proteins were more likely to enter the sediment part. The cell disruption was complete in a chemical method. The cell disruption under 50bar homogenization was more than that of 15bar. In chemical degradation and sonication, a large amount of fusion protein led to protein solubilization. In non-denaturing conditions, no recombinant fusion protein was removed from the column with the isolation buffer, but in the denaturing conditions, a large amount of proteins was purified.
Conclusion: The combined method of chemical degradation and sonication leads to approximately 97.7% of protein solubilization, and the purification in denaturing condition has also the suitable result in contrast to non-denaturing condition.

Abstract
Aims: Nerve growth factor (β-NGF) is an important therapeutic agent for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease; so, recombinant production of it in industrial scale is of high importance. The aim of this study is to optimize the effective factors in achieving the highest rate of β-NGF protein production in the bioreactor.
Materials & Methods: As E. coli is a suitable host for industrial production of recombinant proteins, E. coli DE3 strain was used for production of recombinant β-NGF. Also, fermentation was performed in a 5-L bioreactor and % dissolved oxygen (%DO) and post-induction temperature values were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). At first, the effects of these two variables on the level of total protein were studied. So, in every experiment, bacterial proteins were isolated and total protein concentration was determined by Bradford assay.
Findings: The results indicated that %DO and post-induction temperature of 30% and 28.5ºC were the best values for increased production of total protein; in these circumstances, total protein concentration was 9.6±0.61 mg/ml. Finally, the effects of these variables on recombinant β-NGF production were surveyed by dot blot analysis, indicating the maximum β-NGF expression level on the optimized condition.
Conclusion: In conclusion, %DO and post-induction temperature not only affect cell growth of recombinant E. coli, but also have a direct impact on recombinant protein expression and production, such as β-NGF.

Abstract
Microalgae are microscopic algae found in a wide range of habitats including freshwater and marine systems. Over the last decades, biotechnological processes based on microalgae have been receiving increasing interest due to their potential to produce large quantities of valuable products used as human food supplements, pharmaceuticals and animal feed. Microalgae have also been proved as an efficient and cost-effective platform for recombinant protein production. Most progress in this field has been achieved using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a photosynthetic unicellular alga which has been mostly considered as a model organism in different studies. High growth rate, ease of cultivation, well-established genetics and the ability to perform post-translational modifications are the most beneficial attributes that have made C. reinhardtii an attractive system for the expression of recombinant proteins. In this review, we focus on C. reinhardtii as a novel platform for the development of advanced recombinant products and compare them with other commonly used expression systems. We also present a comprehensive overview of its structure, life cycle, culture systems, and media in detail and then discuss the strategies for engineering its three different genomes to produce recombinant cells. Finally, algal culture collections in the world are introduced.

Abstract
Heat stress is a major environmental stress limiting wheat productivity in most cereal
growing areas of the world. In order to map and characterize quantitative trait loci controlling
heat tolerance, 144 recombinant inbred lines deriving from the cross of Kauz and
MTRWA116 were assessed in a greenhouse and growth chamber at 35°C. One hundred
and sixty six SSR and 3 AFLP markers were used to construct a linkage map containing
18 linkage groups and covering 16 chromosomes of wheat. Using the composite interval
mapping method, three QTLs were detected for heat tolerance and measured by the
Fischer susceptibility index, on chromosomes 1B, 5B and 7B. The alleles of both parents
contributed to heat tolerance. A large amount of explained phenotypic variances and
small confidence intervals indicate that the linkage information between markers and
QTLs could easily be used in breeding for heat tolerance.

Abstract
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious and devastating disease that spreads rapidly and causes many economic damages. One of the important methods for detection of FMD and particularly differentiation of vaccinated from infected animals, is the use of non-structural proteins as antigens in ELISA kits. The purpose of this study was cloning of the gene sequence and expression of the antigenic regions of 3D nonstructural protein as one of the diagnostic options. For amplification of the antigenic regions of FMD virus 3D protein, specific primers containing NdeI and EcoRI restriction sites were designed and the polymerase chain reaction was performed. The sequences cut by these two enzymes, were inserted into PET21a+ vectors. The recombinant plasmids were then transformed into E. coli (DH5α). Colony-PCR tests and enzymatic digestions were performed on the resulting colonies and the presence of the target gene was confirmed. The gene sequence was further confirmed after sequencing. For production of recombinant antigens, the recombinant vector was transferred to the expression host of E. coli-BL21. The bacteria containing the recombinant gene were induced with IPTG and the expression of the recombinant protein was confirmed using the SDS-PAGE method. The molecular weight of the recombinant protein was about 24 kDa, and it can be used in the design of ELISA diagnostic kit.

Abstract
Hyper-glycosylation is an approach to introduce new N-glycosylation consensus sequence(s) (
َAsn-Xxx-Ser/Thr three-peptide) into a protein primary amino acid sequences by site-directed mutagenesis which is followed by the attachment of a new glycan to the Asn residue located within the three-peptide sequence. Hyper-glycosylation has attracted lots of interest especially in the protein therapeutics industry. The attached glycan may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of the hyper-glycosylated priteins and increase their half-life in the bloodstream. In the current study, a new N-glycosylation site was introduced into N-terminal Gla domain of hFIX. Arg
37 position of mature hFIX was targeted to be converted into Asn residue by site-directed mutagenesis using overlap extension PCR. Recombinant expression plasmids for native and mutant hFIX were constructed. The expression of the recombinant wild-type and mutant hFIX was analyzed in mammalian HEK293 cells using gradient SDS-PAGE and western blotting analysis. The results indicated in higher molecular weight for R37N mutant in compared with the native protein. The glycan attachment to R37N mutant was further confirmed by PNGase digestion and western blotting.

Abstract
Activin A, a member of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily, plays a central role in numerous physiological processes such as cell differentiation, tissue repair, angiogenesis, differentiation of stem cells, cell adhesion and apoptosis. Because of its various clinical usages, recombinant production of it is beneficial. Since E. coli is one of the most popular hosts for recombinant protein production, in this study, cytoplasmic expression in this strain was used to produce high levels of Activin A. So, the cDNA of the Activin A mature region was amplified and then cloned in pET28a(+) vector. The resulting vector was transformed to BL21(DE3), BL21(DE3)plysS, and BL21(DE3)Rosetta-gami strains. After induction the promoter by using IPTG, Activin A production was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assays. The results showed that the expression of Activin A in the cytoplasm of all three strains was an efficient approach to obtain high levels of recombinant protein, but BL21(DE3) strain produced more protein. At the next step in order to achieve soluble form of Activin A, co-expression of cytoplasmic chaperones TF, GroEL/ES, and DnaK with pET28a (+) vector was used. The SDS-PAGE and Western blotting results showed that co-expression of Activin A with cytoplasmic plasmid pGro7 containing GroEL and GroES chaperones, in BL21(DE3) strain is an efficient approach for producing of soluble Activin A.

Abstract
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a neurotrophic factor that is functional in survival, maintenance and differentiation of peripheral and central nervous system cells. This protein has three subunits that its beta subunit has main activity. According to scientific studies, it can be used as a therapeutic agent in treatment of many diseases such as peripheral neuropathy associated with diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, skin disease and so on. Prokaryotic expression of recombinant NGF should be done in the periplasmic space because of its oxidative envoronment. It is worth noting that co-expression of cytoplasmic molecular chaperones can facilitate the secretion of the recombinant proteins to the periplasmic space and also enhance the protein solubility.
In this study, the effect of cytoplasmic chaperones of GroEL / GroES, DnaK / DnaJ, GrpE, Trigger Factor (TF) on the periplasmic production of recombinant NGF protein was studied. For this purpose, β-NGF subunit was expressed in pET39b(+) expression vector simultaneously with chaperone plasmids pG-Tf2, pTf16, pGro7, pKJE7 and pG-KJE8 in E. coli DE3 strain.
The results showed that in the presence of TF chaperone (pTf16 plasmid), the total protein and periplasmic production increased. Also, the DnaK/DnaJ and GroEL/GroES chaperones (pG-KJE8 plasmid) have also increased the production to some extent.; while the expression of GroEL/ GroES (pGro7) or DnaK / DnaJ (pKJE7) had no effect on protein expression. Also treatment of PC12 cell line with recombinant β-NGF showed differentiation to nerve cells which indicates that the produced protein is fully functional.

Abstract
Introduction: Proteases are the most important industrial enzymes. Bacillus bacteria are commonly used to produce these enzymes. The aim of this study was cloning, sequencing, expression and bioinformatics study of aprX serine protease gene extracted from Bacillus licheniformis.
Materials and Methods: In this study, after extraction of bacterial DNA, aprX serine protease genes was isolated from Bacillus licheniformis and cloned into pTG19-T vector and then subcloned in pET28a vector. The molecular structure, its biochemical and phylogenetic properties were investigated and three-dimensional structure of the cloned enzyme was predicted. For the induction of gene expression and protein production of the recombinant serine protease IPTG was used at different concentrations, different temperatures and different time periods. Confirmation of aprX gene expression was performed by SDS-PAGE and dot blot analysis. Then, the activity of recombinant protease enzyme was measured at different temperatures and pHs.
Results: Cloning was confirmed by sequencing. Based on the results of phylogenetic studies, the obtained protein sequence showed a high similarity to the sequences of other Bacillus species. After evaluating the drawn models, it was found that the models provided by RAPTROX and I-TASSER software were desirable models for predicting the three dimentional structure of this protease. The recombinant protein production was successfully induced by IPTG induction in the host containing the plasmid pET28a-aprX. The highest expression values were obtained at 25 ° C for 20 hours with 0/5 mM IPTG. Also, the recombinant protein produced showed the highest activity at 50 ° C and pH 8.

Abstract
Objective: Influenza virus A (H1N1) is an important subtype of the influenza respiratory viruses, which has important worldwide implications. Hemagglutinin (HA), an important viral antigen, is responsible for binding to human cell receptors leading to an onset of the disease process. Considering the critical role of viral attachment, this study focuses on the extraction and cloning of HA and its large subunit HA1 genes to generate recombinant baculovirus shuttle vectors (bacmid) in order to produce recombinant proteins in insect cells.
Methods: Human influenza virus A/New Caledonia 99/20/(H1N1) was propagated in MDCK cell culture. Total viral RNA was extracted using easy-red solution. The full-length HA genome and HA1 fragment were amplified by RT- PCR using specific primers, cloned into a pGEM®-TEasy vector, and then subcloned into a pFastBac HT plasmid. Finally, recombinant bacmids that contained the genes of interest were produced in E. coli DH10Bac™ cells.
Results: Expected PCR products of HA genes were evaluated through gel electrophoresis and restriction enzyme analysis. Recombinant pGEM®-TEasy vectors and pFastBac HT donor plasmids were confirmed by PCR, digestion, and sequencing. Construction of recombinant bacmid DNA was verified by using blue-white colony screening, overnight electrophoresis, and PCR analysis that used either pUC/M13 or gene-specific primers.
Conclusion: In this study, we have successfully constructed recombinant Bacmid DNA that encoded the full-length HA genome and its HA1 subunit. We intend to transfect sf9 insect cells with these constructs to generate recombinant baculovirus and produce large amounts of desired proteins for future studies.

Abstract
Immune checkpoints are molecules that regulators the immune system. However, some tumor cells can express the ligands of immune checkpoints to escape from antitumor immune responses. Some agents, such as antibodies, can inhibit these checkpoints that prevent the immune system from targeting and killing cancer cells. The aim of this study was to express a novel bispecific diabody in periplasmic space of E.coli for simultaneous targeting of two immune checkpoints, cytotoxic T‑lymphocyte‑associated protein 4 (CTLA‑4) and programmed death- ligand 1 (PD‑L1).
The bispecific diabody was constructed based on the variable regions gene of anti PD-L1 and anti CTLA‑4 antibodies. The optimum codon for expression in E. coli was chemically synthesized and subcloned in pET21 expression plasmid. After transformation, the effect of cultivation conditions on periplasmic expression of the protein in E. coli BL21(DE3) was evaluated. Then, the bispecific diabody was purified .
Expression of diabody with a molecular weight of 55 kDa was verified by Sodium dodecyl sulfate‑polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blotting analysis. The best condition for soluble periplasmic expression was obtained to be incubation with 0.5 mM isopropyl β‑D‑1‑thiogalactopyranoside at 23°C. The protein was successfully purified using affinity chromatography with a final yield of 0.4 mg/L. The affinity of the purified protein interaction were checked by ELISA.
Recombinant Diabody protein was cloned, expressed, and purified in a bacterial system and Diabody Interaction with PDL-1 receptor conformed by Cell-Elisa.
