To obtain the molecular information of the virus, the genomic DNA of CbNPV was extracted, and a DNA fragment library of the virus was constructed using shotgun. The positive clones were then sequenced and analyzed. An open-reading frame （ORF） that has high identity with the gp41 gene of most NPVs was found in the library. The gp41 gene of CbNPV is 933 base pair long and encodes a protein of 310 amino acids. The result of the amino acid sequence analysis showed that the CbNPV gp41 has 53-61 and 56-73% identities with Group 1 and II NPVs gp41 proteins, respectively. The result indicates that the isolated CbNPV is a novel baculovirus, and the CbNPV shares a much closer relationship Ⅱ NPVs.展开更多

When induced by IPTG at 37℃, both two clones did not express in E.coli BL21(DE)3. Howerver, when induced at 16℃, the two clones were both overexpressed, and the amount of the product was about 20% of the total bacteria protein. In Western blotting test, the protein product could react with HIV-positive serum. After IPTG induction, E. coli cells had much higher death rate at 37℃ than at 16℃; [3H]uridine release assay also showed that after IPTG induction, E. coli had a higher release at 37℃. The results suggested that overexpression of the two proteins was due to their decreased toxicity at lower temperature.展开更多
为了研究家蚕核型多角体病毒(Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedro virus,BmNPV)中GP41蛋白的包装功能,从BmNPV基因组中克隆了gp41基因,并将其克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pFastBac1-gfp中,构建重组转移载体pFastBac1-gp41-gfp,再利用杆状病毒表达系...为了研究家蚕核型多角体病毒(Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedro virus,BmNPV)中GP41蛋白的包装功能,从BmNPV基因组中克隆了gp41基因,并将其克隆到杆状病毒转移载体pFastBac1-gfp中,构建重组转移载体pFastBac1-gp41-gfp,再利用杆状病毒表达系统(Bac-to-Bac)筛选重组杆状病毒,在家蚕BmN细胞系中进行融合表达和定位分析。SDS-PAGE和Western blot检测结果显示,经重组杆状病毒r-gp41-gfp感染的BmN细胞新增一条大小为65 kD左右的蛋白条带,证明该融合蛋白在BmN细胞中成功表达。用激光共聚焦显微镜观察到绿色荧光充满于细胞质中,不能形成聚集体。与野生型BmNPV混合感染的实验也表明荧光出现的位置与多角体无关,说明GP41-GFP蛋白不能附着在多角体表面,融合表达可能影响了GP41蛋白与多角体的结合。展开更多
