General description

B834 is the parental strain for BL21 (1). These protease-deficient hosts are methionine auxotrophs and allow high specific-activity labeling of target proteins with 35S-methionine and selenomethionine for crystallography (2).

DE3 indicates that the host is a lysogen of λDE3, and therefore carries a chromosomal copy of the T7 RNA polymerase gene under control of the lacUV5 promoter. Such strains are suitable for production of protein from target genes cloned in pET vectors by induction with IPTG.
Genotype: F-ompT hsdSB(rB- mB-) gal dcm met (DE3)

Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is a Ca2+ -permeable, nonselective cation channel involved in diverse physiological processes such as immune response, apoptosis, and body temperature sensing. TRPM2 is activated by ADP-ribose (ADPR) and 2'-deoxy-ADPR in a Ca2+ -dependent manner.

Key to CRISPR-Cas adaptive immunity is maintaining an ongoing record of invading nucleic acids, a process carried out by the Cas1-Cas2 complex that integrates short segments of foreign genetic material (spacers) into the CRISPR locus. It is hypothesized that Cas1

In flies, Centrosomin (Cnn) forms a phosphorylation-dependent scaffold that recruits proteins to the mitotic centrosome, but how Cnn assembles into a scaffold is unclear. We show that scaffold assembly requires conserved leucine zipper (LZ) and Cnn-motif 2 (CM2) domains that co-assemble

Itaconate is a newly discovered endogenous metabolite promoting an anti-inflammatory program during innate immune response, but the precise mechanisms underlying its effect remains poorly understood owing primarily to the limitations of available itaconate-monitoring techniques. Here, we develop and validate a
