Enhancing expression level of an acidophilic β-mannanase in Pichia pastoris by double vector system
An acidophilic β-mannanase-encoding gene (Auman5A) from Aspergillus usamii YL-01-78 was amplified and inserted into pPIC9K and pPICZαA vectors. The resulting recombinant vector, pPIC9K-Auman5A, was transformed in...

Modified pPIC9K vector-mediated expression of a family 11 xylanase gene, Aoxyn11A, from Aspergillus oryzae in Pichia pastoris
A full-length cDNA sequence of Aoxyn11A, a mesophilic xylanase-encoding gene from Aspergillus oryzae, was obtained from total RNA, using 3′ and 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends methods. The cDNA sequence is 1,...

Determination of amino acids and dipeptides is correlated significantly with optimum temperatures of microbial lipases
Amino acids and dipeptides that are correlated significantly with lipase optimum temperatures were searched for in 34 microbial lipase sequences by a stepwise regression method. The positive dipeptides were fo...
