We have expressed horse cytochrome cin Escherichia coli. The gene was designed with E. colicodon bias and assembled by using a recursive polymerase chain reaction method. The far-ultraviolet and near-ultraviolet/Soret circular dichroism (CD) spectra show that the structure of recombinant horse cytochrome cis the same as that of the authentic protein. CD-detected thermal denaturation studies were used to measure the thermodynamic parameters associated with two-state denaturation. The free energy of denaturation for the recombinant protein is 10.0 ± 2.3 kcal mol−1at pH 4.6 and 25°C, which agrees with the value for the authentic protein. The expression system will help advance our understanding of the roles of cytochrome cin electron transfer, oxidative stress, and apoptosis by allowing the production of protein variants.

Several mRNAs encoding the same ferritin subunit of Drosophila melanogasterwere identified. Alternative RNA splicing and utilisation of different polyadenylation sites were found to generate the transcripts. The alternative RNA splicing results in ferritin transcripts with four unique 5′ untranslated regions. Only one of them contains an iron‐responsive element. The iron‐responsive element was found to bind in vitro specifically to human recombinant iron regulatory protein 1. Furthermore, the ferritin subunit mRNAs are differentially expressed during development. Our data provides the first molecular evidence that the presence of iron‐responsive element in a ferritin mRNA is regulated by alternative RNA splicing.
