Recombinant Corynebacterium aurimucosum UPF0233 membrane protein cauri_0028 (cauri_0028)
Description
Production and Purification
Cauri_0028 is commercially available in two recombinant forms:
-
Full-Length Protein (E. coli Origin):
-
Partial Protein (Baculovirus Origin):
Research Applications and Implications
Though cauri_0028 has not been directly studied in pathogenicity, its role as a membrane protein positions it as a candidate for:
-
Vaccine Development: Membrane proteins are often targets for immunological research .
-
Biochemical Assays: Used to study membrane dynamics or protein-protein interactions in Corynebacterium spp. .
Clinical Context:
While C. aurimucosum is rarely pathogenic, cases of bacteremia and urinary tract infections have been reported, highlighting the need for deeper understanding of its membrane components . For example, a 94-year-old patient with C. aurimucosum bacteremia was treated successfully with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, underscoring the bacterium’s clinical relevance .
