title: Overproduction in Escherichia coli and purification of the hemolytic protein sticholysin II from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus.
abstract: The cDNA coding for the cytolytic toxins sticholysin I and sticholysin II from the sea anemone Stichodactyla helianthus has been isolated, cloned in pUC18, and sequenced. A 6His-tagged version of sticholysin II has been overproduced in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity in milligram amounts. Conformational and functional analyses of recombinant sticholysin II do not reveal any significant difference when compared to the natural cytolysin.
