Vs. Vysotskaya et al., STRUCTURAL-PROPERTIES OF RIBOSOMAL-PROTEI N S8 FROM THE EXTREME THERMOPHILE THERMUS-THERMOPHILUS, Bioorganiceskaa himia, 21(7), 1995, pp. 492-497
The gene of ribosomal protein Ss from the extreme thermophile Thermus
thermophilus was expressed in E. coil using the strain BL21(DE3) and v
ector pET3-1. A method of isolating this protein from the superproduci
ng strain was developed, which makes it possible to obtain 8 - 12 mg o
f product from 11 of culture. The secondary structure of protein S8 wa
s determined by using CD spectroscopy. The protein was shown to be hig
hly resistant to denaturants.
