The synthesis of Recombinant S. varium Scytovirin protein began with the isolation of Scytovirin gene from the native genome. The next step was to amplify the Scytovirin gene by inserting the Scytovirin gene into an expression vector and then introducing the vector into the selected host cell, Yeast. Significant amounts of recombinant S. varium Scytovirin protein were produced by the host only when expression genes were added. For the purpose of protein purification, the vector contains N-terminal 6xHis tag to the Scytovirin DNA sequence. The purity of this protein is 90%+ determined by SDS-PAGE.
Scytovirin (SVN) is an antiviral protein isolated form scytonema varium. SVN contains two apparent domains, which display significant homology to each other and a similar pattern of disulfide bonds. SVN is active against multiple viruses, including HIV, Zaire ebolavirus, Marburg virus, and SARS-CoV. SVN binds with high affinity to mannose-rich oligosaccharides on the envelope glycoprotein, blocking entry into target cells.
