山羊β乳球蛋白基因的克隆及其在转基因小鼠乳汁中的高效表达

Goat β-lactoglobulin Gene Cloning and High Expression in the Mammary Gland of Transgenic Mice

通过长距离PCR从山羊基因组DNA分两段扩增山羊β乳球蛋白(β lactoglobulin,BLG)基因,扩增出的两个片段分别克隆到T载体上,利用BLG基因序列自身存在的NarI单酶切位点进行拼接,获得了全长为7.2kb的山羊BLG基因克隆,并构建了它的真核表达载体,经酶切鉴定和序列分析证实了克隆的正确性。用线性化的BLG基因显微注射小鼠受精卵以建立转基因鼠,经PCR和Southern印迹分析证实获得了6只首建者(Founder)转基因小鼠(3♀,3♂),在泌乳期采集两只F0代转基因雌鼠乳汁并用ELISA测定山羊β乳球蛋白的含量,其表达水平分别为23.49mg/mL和2.19mg/mL。

To clone goat βlactoglobulin (BLG) gene,two fragments were amplified from goat genomic DNA by LDPCR method.The fragments were inserted in Tvectors before being spliced into the whole 7.2 kb BLG gene at a single restriction enzyme site of NarI.Consequently,the eukaryotic expression vector was constructed.All the clones were proved to be correct by restriction enzyme cutting and sequencing analysis.Six Founders (3♀,3♂) of goat BLG transgenic mice were obtained by microinjection and BLG genes integration were confirmed by both PCR and Southern blot analyses.The milk was collected from two lactating female transgenic mice and goat BLG protein contents were measured with ELISA.The results showed that goat BLG protein in milk of the two mice were 23.49 mg/mL and 2.19 mg/mL,respectively.
