Salamander-Derived, Human-Optimized nAG Protein Suppresses Collagen Synthesis and Increases Collagen Degradation in Primary Human Fibroblasts
Figure 1
Identification of nAG gene in mammalian expression plasmid nAG-pJexpress pJ608. (a) The plasmid contains nAG gene, optimized for human cell expression and tagged with V5 peptide for further identification. The gene is surrounded by two restriction sites: XhoI and Not I. (b) nAG plasmid integrity was confirmed by DNA electrophoresis showing the plasmid in two forms: circular uncut plasmid and linearized cut with XhoI.
