Modeling and purification of Zn-dependent metalloproteinase. (A) ProSA-web Z-score plot for 3D structure of the hypothetical protein after refinement. The Z-score of the final model is −4.52. The black dot represents the hypothetical protein. (B) 3D structure according to the I-TASSER server after being refined and visualized by Chimera PyMOL. (C) Purification of the ZnMP codifying for ORF BAB1_0270 of B. abortus 2308. ZnMP sequences were cloned in the expression vector pColdII (pColdII-ZnMP), and the recombinant vector was used to transform the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain. Western blot was performed to visualized protein using anti-6x-HisTag antibodies. MW: molecular weight marker in kDa; 1: recombinant protein purified from E. coli.
