Escherichia coli is the first bacteria on which cloning and protein expression are carried out. The purpose of this study was to summarize the numerous articles published in the field of protein expression in Escherichia coli. In studies, researchers in a new project require the production of pure protein, which at the theory level is easy to obtain a recombinant protein, but there are virtually many problems, including low growth of host, formation of inclusion, protein not being active, and there is even no protein production in the exprimental scale. To enhance the expression of the protein, factors such as suitable host, vector design, transcriptional settings, selective markers, and reluctant labels are effective. There are a range of fusion proteins that can effect on accurate folding, solubility, and proteolytic resistance. Also the ability to target produced proteins to cytoplasm, periplasm, membranes and the culture medium, and some techniques grant the ability of post translational modifications in prokaryotic cells. Therefore, the key to the successful expression of recombinant proteins in E. coli is a combination of expert manipulation of the components of a broad genetic apparatus.

Aim and Background: In recent years, science and industry have focused on preparing nanoparticles based on the principles of green chemistry. For this purpose, various types of biological structures such as bacteria, yeasts, and string molds are used. Due to the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, the need to replace effective antimicrobials, with fewer side effects is less. The aim of this research was to synthesis the iron oxide nanoparticles by lactobacillus fermentum cytoplasmic extract and investigate its antimicrobial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Materials and Methods: In this study, after preparing cytoplasmic extract of Lactobacillus fermentum from frees-thow method, iron sulfate solution 10-3 M were added and incubated for 3 weeks in the presence of 5 % carbon dioxide. Production of nanoparticles was investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and finally, the antimicrobial effects of standard strains of two bacteria (Staphylococcus aurous and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were determined using agar diffusion method. Results: Changing the color of solution to black is an indication of iron oxide nanoparticles production. The formation of iron oxide nano-crystals by Lactobacillus fermentum cytoplasmic extract was shown by XRD analysis and the average nanoparticles sizes that determined by transmission electron microscopy TEM were found to be about 10-15 nm with a spherical shape. The mean diameter of the no-growth field indicates that the synthesized nanoparticles inhibit Staphylococcus aureus in concentrations of 100 and 1000 mg/ ml, while are ineffective against Psedumonas aeruginosa. Conclusion: The use of cytoplasmic extract of Lactobacillus fermentum can be introduced as an effective biological method for the production of iron oxide nanoparticles and with more studies in this area, green nanoparticles may be used as suitable candidates for the treatment of microbial infections.

Aim and Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between different polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor coding gene (Taq1, Bsm1, Apa1, Fok1) with renal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Material and methods: In this case-control study, blood samples were taken from 50 healthy controls and 50 type 2 diabetic patients as control and 50 type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy. Then, SSP-PCR technique was used to determine the different genotypes of vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and the results were analyzed by SPSS 22 software. Results: In type 2 diabetic patients with Bb (64%) genotypes were the most frequent genotypes for Bsm1 polymorphism, FF (54%) for Fok1, Aa (84%) for Apa1 and TT (36%) for Taq1. In addition, the probability of Nephropathy with bb genotype (P-Value = 0. 007, OR = 6. 7730) for Bsm1 polymorphism, ff genotype (OR = infinity and P-Value = 0. 01) for Fok1 polymorphism, Aa genotype (OR) = 5. 25 and P-Value <0. 001) for Apa1 polymorphism and tt genotype (OR = 5. 41, P-Value = 0. 003) for Taq1 polymorphism increased. Conclusion: Genotypic frequency of Bsm1, Apa1, Fok1 and Taq1 polymorphisms is related to the incidence of renal disease (Nephropathy) in type 2 diabetic patients. However, the correlation between different polymorphisms and the incidence of kidney disease shows that Apa1 polymorphism has the greatest effect on renal complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, Bsm1 polymorphism has the highest effect on the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
