Abstract:
The invention discloses a method for improving the extracellular expression level of a foreign protein by means of phospholipase fusion expression. Four proteins, PLA2, MBP, CBD and SUMO, are used as a fusion tag to construct a fusion gene. Compared with an original protein MOH without any fusion tag, the extracellular expression level and enzymatic activity of all the four fusion proteins are increased to some degree. Among them, the fusion protein using PLA2 as the fusion tag has the highest expression level, which is 7.4 times higher than that of the original protein. Compared with other fusion tags, PLA2 has a low molecular weight and the fusion protein having PLA2 as the fusion tag has the highest expression level (up to 12 g·L−1 in a 7 L fermentation tank for high-density fermentation). It is shown that the secretory expression of a foreign protein can be effectively increased by using PLA2 as a fusion tag.

One aspect of the disclosed invention relates to a stereoscopic display apparatus comprising: a stereo image acquisition unit configured to acquire a first stereo image for a first image and a second stereo image for a second image; a border generation unit configured to generate a border for separating the first image from the second image; and a displaying unit configured to combine the second stereo image and the generated border with the first stereo image and display the combined stereo images.
Abstract:
Provided are novel hetero-oligomers of (S)-carbonyl reductases and their application in catalyzing the reduction of polyphenyl ketones. Also provided are recombinant strains expressing hetero-oligomers of SCR/SCR2 or SCR2/SCR3, which can catalyze the reduction of polyphenyl ketones. The hetero-oligomer of SCR/SCR2 is capable of catalyzing 2,4-dichlorobenzophenone, 2-naphthalenone and [(E)-2-[3-[3-[2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-oxopropyl]benzoic acid methyl ester (Keto Easter M) with a specific activity of 4.55 U/mg, 2.43 U/mg and 0.86 U/mg, respectively. The hetero-oligomer of SCR2/SCR3 is capable of catalyzing 2,4-dichlorobenzophenone and [(E)-2-[3-[3-[2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl]phenyl]-3-oxopropyl]benzoic acid methyl ester (Keto Easter M) with a specific activity of 4.42 U/mg and 1.21 U/mg, respectively. No catalyzing activities for reducing polyphenyl ketones were detected in the naturally existing homo-oligomers of SCR, SCR2 or SCR3, which can catalyze the reduction of monobenzoic cyclic compounds. The invention expands the substrate spectrum of natural (S)-carbonyl reductases (SCR, SCR2 and SCR3) and provides a novel type of oxidoreductases for catalyzing the reduction of polyphenyl ketones.

Abstract:
Host input/output (I/O) operations are performed via a file stored in a non-volatile storage coupled to a storage controller while data structures are being generated in the storage controller to copy data from source logical volumes to target logical volumes. The source logical volumes and the target logical volumes are logical representations of physical storage maintained in a plurality of direct access storage devices. The contents of the file are transferred from the non-volatile storage to one or more of the plurality of direct access storage devices, after the data structures have been generated, wherein the host I/O operations are performed via the file while the contents of the file are being transferred to the one or more of the plurality of direct access storage devices. The host I/O operations to the plurality of direct access storage devices are resumed, in response to transferring entire contents of the file to the one or more of the plurality of direct access storage devices.
