Objective To construct a plasmid for expression of biotinylation tagged fusion protein in mammalian cells using bacterial biotin ligase in order to establish a new sensitive and simple method for detecting fusion protein in pull down and Western blotting.Method A eukaryotic expression biotinylation plasmid carrying His and avidin tag(pHAVI)was established based on the backbone of pCI neo.The biotinylation function of pHAVI was validated using RFP gene.The biotinylation efficiency of pHAVI was quantified by fusion proteins of firefly luciferase and pull down.The protein interaction between hepatitis C virus NS4B was studied using pHAVI and pull down.Results A plasmid expression vector carrying the HAVI and birA genes was established that could obtain high level biotinylated proteins in eukaryotic cells.Seventy-two percent of the fusion protein was biotinylated.We verified the interaction between hepatitis C virus NS4B using HAVI plasmid and pull down.We also established a method of Western blotting by one-step streptavidin capture and tandem anti-streptavidin.Conclusion A new sensitive and simple method of fusion protein detection is established by eukaryotic expression biotinylation plasmid,making Western blotting and pull down easier,simpler and faster.This method will provide a multipurpose platform for protein study.
