Amino acids 26-323 constitute the expression domain of recombinant Staphylococcus aureus lukF. This lukF protein is expected to have a theoretical molecular weight of 54 kDa. Expression of this lukF protein is conducted in e.coli. The N-terminal 10xHis-SUMO tag and C-terminal Myc tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of lukF, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the lukF recombinant protein in the following steps.
The Staphylococcus aureus leukocidin-F subunit (lukF) is one of the two subunits that make up the LukF-PV (Panton-Valentine leukocidin), a specific leukocidin associated with severe Staphylococcus aureus infections, including skin and soft tissue infections. The LukF-PV toxin is thought to form pores in the membranes of host immune cells, particularly white blood cells, disrupting their integrity and leading to cell death. This activity aids Staphylococcus aureus in evading the immune system and establishing infection. Understanding the structure and function of LukF, along with other leukocidins, is crucial for developing strategies to combat Staphylococcus aureus infections and addressing the associated pathogenicity.There are currently no reviews for this product.
