Abstract excerpt
Actin is the most abundant protein in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells and is involved in a variety of cellular functions. It has been difficult to produce actin in bacterial expression systems in good yields. In this study, we developed a new simple method for the production of recombinant actin in Escherichia coli cells. Human β-actin was successfully expressed using a cold shock vector, pCold, in the...
