猪囊尾蚴TsCL-1基因的原核表达

Prokaryotic expression of TsCL-1 gene from Taenia solium metacestode

【目的】探讨原核表达猪囊尾蚴TsCL-1蛋白的生物学特性,为研究半胱氨酸蛋白酶(Cysteine proteinase,CP)在猪囊尾蚴与宿主相互关系中的作用奠定基础。【方法】将含有猪囊尾蚴半胱氨酸蛋白酶TsCL-1基因的pGEX-4T-TsCL-1重组质粒转入大肠杆菌BL21进行表达,诱导后的重组菌裂解上清通过谷胱甘肽(GST)-琼脂糖亲和层析法进行纯化,纯化产物利用明胶蛋白电泳法进行活性检测。【结果】经SDS-PAGE分析显示,猪囊尾蚴TsCL-1基因表达的重组蛋白相对分子质量约为61ku,表达的目的蛋白约占菌体总蛋白的57.4%。表达产物应用GST琼脂糖凝胶纯化后,纯化蛋白的纯度可达90%以上。明胶蛋白电泳结果显示,纯化蛋白对明胶具有水解活性,并且其水解活性能被半胱氨酸蛋白酶特异性抑制剂E-64抑制。【结论】从重组菌中成功表达了目的蛋白,该蛋白具有明显的水解活性,且E-64对其水解活性有抑制作用。

【Objective】In order to lay a basis for researching the role of cysteine protease(CP)in the relationship between Cysticercus cellulosae and its host,the study explored the characteristics of the recombinant protein expressed prokaryotically.【Method】The recombinant plasmid pGEX-4T-TsCL-1 was transformed into and prokaryotically expressed in E.coli BL21.The expressed products were purified by using GST sepharose FF affinity chromatography.The proteolytic activity of CP was assayed by using zymography.【Result】S...
