摘要
To express die mature peptide of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in Escherichia coil. Methods: TheDNA fragment encoding the mature peptide of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (hBMP-2m) was inserted into expression vectorpDH in which foreign gene was controlled by PRPL promoters. E. coli DH5a transformed with recombinant plasmid pDHB2m wasinduced at 42℃to express the target protein. The expressed product was partially purified and refolded, and then implanted intorat thigh muscles to assay its bone inductive activity. Results: After induction, a protein band on SDS-PAGE gel with an apparentmol. wt. of 13kD was observed to anticipate in the strain carrying pDHB2m, but not in the control. The expressed hBMP-2m accounted for 45%-60% of the total bacterial protein. The expressed product existed in a form of inclusion body. After partially purified and refolded, rhBMP-2m could induce the formation of cartilage and bone tissue heterotopically. Conclusion: The maturepeptide of human bone morphogenetic protein-2 has ben successfully expressed in E. coli and the product has ectopic bone inductive activity.
