Expression of recombinant hybrid peptide hinnavin II/alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone in Escherichia coli: purification and characterization.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The increasing problem of antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria requires novel strategies for the construction of multiple, joined genes of antimicrobial agents. The strategy used in this study involved synthesis of a cDNA-encoding hinnavin II/alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (hin/MSH) hybrid peptide, which was cloned into the pET32a (+) vector to allow expression of the hybrid peptide as a fusion protein in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The resulting expression of fusion protein Trx-hin/MSH could reach up to 20% of the total cell proteins. More than 50% of the target protein was in a soluble form. The target fusion protein from the soluble fraction, Trx-hin/MSH, was easily purified by Ni(2+)-chelating chromatography. Then, enterokinase cleavage effectively cleaved the Trx-hin/MSH to release the recombinant hin/MSH (rhin/MSH) hybrid peptide. After removing the contaminants, we purified the recombinant hybrid peptide to homogeneity by reversed-phase FPLC and obtained 210 mg of pure, active rhin/MSH from 800 ml of culture medium. Antimicrobial activity assay demonstrated that rhin/MSH had a broader spectrum of activity than did the parental hinnavin II or MSH against fungi and Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. These results suggest an efficient method for producing high-level expression of various kinds of antimicrobial peptides that are toxic to the host, a reliable and simple method for producing different hybrid peptides for biological studies.
