摘要
动力蛋白是活跃于微管骨架上行使负向运输功能的分子马达.从人类B淋巴细胞cDNA文库中克隆得到动力蛋白轻链亚基的基因LC8,将该基因插入表达绿色荧光蛋白的载体pEGFP-C3,获得的重组DNA成功在两种人源细胞内表达.通过荧光实验对GFP-LC8亚细胞定位进行分析,确定GFP-LC8是典型细胞浆定位,主要分布在细胞外周区和微管组织中心附近.当用药物nocodazole处理细胞使微管解聚时,GFP-LC8的定位发生改变.表明融合蛋白可正确指示LC8的细胞定位,可用于进一步研究病毒感染后的胞内事件.
Dynein is an effective molecular motor of the microtubule cytoskeleton, which is responsible for minus-end directed retrograde transport. In this study, a dynein light chain gene LC8 was amplified from a cDNA library of human B lymphocyte and inserted to a GFP-expressing vector pEGFP-C3. The recombinant DNA was then successfully expressed in human cells. By fluorescence assay, we confirmed a typical cytoplasmic localization of GFP-LCS. Cell peripheral localization and microtubule organizing center localization were the dominating distribution patterns of cytoplasmic GFP-LC8. A distinct subcellular localization of GFP-LC8 was detected in microtubule-depolymerizing agent treated cells. These results supported the further study of virus transport.
