Abstract: | In this study, we cloned the catalytic domain of the Oryzias latipes sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 1 (OlSENP1-CD) gene and produced the recombinant OlSENP1-CD protein in Escherichia coli. Experimental procedures designed to reveal the ability of the recombinant protein to show deSUMOylating activity in vitro should be helpful in future studies of other SENPs and the SUMO pathway. |
