Eukaryotic expression of acid proteases.
Vodolánová, Lucie ; Man, Petr (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Jiří (referee)
Nepenthesin I and neprosin are acid proteases which are present in the pitcher fluid of carnivorous plants genus Nepenthes. Both enzymes are produced as zymogens which are activated in acidic conditions. Due to their properties and specific preferences, they are suitable for protein mass spectrometry or as a supplement in gluten-free diet of celiac patients. Quantity of the enzymes in the pitcher fluid is very low and the currently developer expression protocols do not show satisfactory results, we tried to find more suitable expression system. We would like to produce high quantitites of enzymes, which will have the same stability as natural ones. The aim of this work is preparation of expression vectors with nepenthesin I and neprosin genes for transfection into eukaryotic expression systems of S2 and HEK 293 cells. In Czech. Keywords: acid proteases, nepenthesin I, neprosin, expression vector
