Amino acids 632-910 constitute the expression domain of recombinant Bordetella pertussis prn. The calculated molecular weight for this prn protein is 45.8 kDa. The prn protein was expressed in e.coli. The N-terminal 6xHis-SUMO tag was smoothly integrated into the coding gene of prn, which enables a simple process of detecting and purifying the prn recombinant protein in the following steps.
The pertactin (Prn) is an autotransporter that plays a crucial role in the adhesion of B. pertussis to respiratory epithelial cells and contributes to the bacterium's ability to colonize the respiratory tract. Prn is synthesized as a single polypeptide chain and then transported across the bacterial outer membrane to the cell surface. Once on the bacterial surface, Prn functions as an adhesin, facilitating the attachment of B. pertussis to host cells. In addition to its role in adhesion, Prn is one of the antigens included in some acellular pertussis vaccines. Understanding the function and variability of the Prn autotransporter is crucial for developing effective pertussis vaccines and gaining insights into the pathogenic mechanisms of Bordetella pertussis.There are currently no reviews for this product.
