Expression of goat alpha-lactalbumin in Escherichia coli and its refolding to biologically active protein

A cDNA encoding the mature region of goat alpha-lactalbumin and the 3'-non-coding region was fused to cDNA of the N-terminal half of porcine adenylate kinase which had been placed under the control of the tac promoter in an expression vector in Escherichia coli. In addition, a methionine codon was inserted between the two cDNAs. When the plasmid carried the full-length 3'-non-coding region, little accumulation of the fused protein was observed. However, the deletion of two-thirds of the 3'-non-coding region produced significant expression of the fused protein in E. coli strain JM105. Since goat alpha-lactalbumin contains no methionine residue, the mature goat alpha-lactalbumin was isolated by CNBr digestion of the fused insoluble protein and refolded using thioredoxin. The homogeneous and biologically active goat alpha-lactalbumin was purified by Ca2+ ion-dependent hydrophobic chromatography.     

High-level expression of human extracellular superoxide dismutase in Escherichia coli and insect cells.

Much is known about the physical properties of the Cu,Zn- and Mn-superoxide dismutases (SODs). However, the biochemical characteristics and pharmacological properties of extracellular (EC)-SOD have been severely limited due to difficulties in obtaining and purifying the enzyme. The EC-SOD cDNA was inserted into the Escherichia coli expression plasmid pET-28a(+) which contains the T7 promoter and transformed into the E. coli BL21(DE3). After induction with 1 mmol/L isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside, the recombinant human EC-SOD was highly expressed as inclusion bodies. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that recombinant EC-SOD accumulated up to 26% of the total soluble protein of E. coli cells. The expression product was purified by a Ni(2+)-IDA-Sepharose 6B column. After the denaturing and refolding processes, the recombinant human EC-SOD retains the specific enzymatic activity of 920 U/mg of the purified product. The gene encoding human EC-SOD mature peptide was also inserted into the donor plasmid pFastBacHTb. After transposition, transfection, and amplification were performed, the recombinant baculoviruses infected the Tn-5B1-4 cells and EC-SOD was highly expressed in Tn-5B1-4 cells. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis revealed that the subunit molecular weight of the expression product is 28 kDa. Furthermore, recombinant human EC-SOD retains the enzymatic specific activity of 200 U/mg of the Tn-5B1-4 cell lysates.

Expression of recombinant human L-glutaminase in Escherichia coli: polyclonal antibodies production and immunological analysis of mouse tissues

The first complete sequence of human L-glutaminase was deduced from breast cancer glutaminase cDNA cloned in our laboratory. This cDNA clone has now been engineered to synthesize both precursor and mature forms of the protein in Escherichia coli. Among several different plasmid constructions, the expression system based on phage T7 promoter (vector pET-3c) was found to be the most efficient for glutaminase overproduction. Upon induction, precursor glutaminase accounts for about 25% of total E. coli protein, whereas a lower amount (12%) was achieved for the putative mature protein. The optimal length of the translational spacer on the ribosome binding site was shown to be eight nucleotides. However, using this length of spacer, we were unable to obtain expression in the pQE vector, tagged with a 6x His sequence at the NH(2)-terminus, stressing the importance of the 5'-coding sequence in the expression efficiency. Although the precursor and mature recombinant forms of glutaminase were devoid of catalytic activity, the purified protein allowed us to obtain highly specific polyclonal antibodies, as shown by immunoblot analysis of mouse tissues. Furthermore, the antibodies were able to immunoprecipitate the in vitro translated enzyme using a reticulocyte lysate system; these antibodies might be a valuable tool for studies on L-glutaminase expression in mammalian tissues.

Expression of human interleukin-2 receptor cDNA in E. coli

cDNAs for human interleukin-2 receptor were recently cloned and sequenced (Leonard et al., 1984, Nature 311, 626-631; Nikaido et al., 1984, Nature 311, 631-635; Cosman et al., Nature 312, 768-771). In the studies reported here, we describe the expression of a cDNA clone for the human interleukin-2 receptor in E. coli using an "open reading frame" expression vector pMR100. The inserted cDNA was expressed in E. coli transformants as a tripartite fusion polypeptide fused to the lambda cI protein at its amino terminus and to beta-galactosidase at its carboxy terminus. We demonstrate that the bacterially produced IL-2 receptor protein can bind to IL-2.     

Expression of human cardiac-specific homeobox protein in Escherichia coli

Human cardiac-specific homeobox protein cDNA (hCsx) was cloned into expression plasmid pET32a and fused with Escherichia coli thioredoxin (Trx).

When expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), about half of the recombinant Trx-Csx products existed in the form of insoluble inclusion bodies. When coexpressed with human protein disulfide isomerase, more than 90% of Trx-Csx products accumulated in the soluble form in the cell lysate. The recombinant Csx fusion protein was purified by one-step metal-chelating affinity chromatography.

Expression of anti-neuroexcitation peptide (ANEP) of scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch in Escherichia coli

According to the cDNA sequence of anti-neuroexcitation peptide of scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch, the putative mature anti-neuroexcitation peptide (ANEP) encoding DNA fragment was obtained by a PCR method, then was cloned into expression plasmid pET28a, fused with His tag at its 3' end. When expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), the expression of recombinant ANEP was 15% of total cellular proteins, while most recombinant ANEP products existed in the form of insoluble inclusion bodies. Coexpression of molecular chaperones or protein disulfide isomerase could not improve its solubility. The recombinant ANEP in the cell lysate was purified to homogeneity by metal chelating affinity chromatography and Superdex 30 chromatography. In bioassay with convulsive mice model induced by thiosemicarbazide, recombinant ANEP could apparently delay the convulsion seizure of model animals by 18% and showed anti-neuroexcitatory activity.     

Stimulation of EBV-activated human B cells by monocytes and monocyte products. Role of IFN-beta 2/B cell stimulatory factor 2/IL-6

EBV infects human B lymphocytes and induces them to proliferate, to produce Ig, and to give rise to immortal cell lines. Although the mechanisms of B cell activation by EBV are largely unknown, the continuous proliferation of EBV-immortalized B cells is dependent, at least in part, upon autocrine growth factors produced by the same EBV-infected B cells. In the present studies we have examined the influence of monocytes on B cell activation by EBV and found that unlike peripheral blood T cells and B cells, monocytes enhance by as much as 30- to 50-fold virus-induced B cell proliferation and Ig production. Upon activation with LPS, monocytes secrete a growth factor activity that promotes both proliferation and Ig secretion in EBV-infected B cells and thus reproduces the effects of monocytes in these cultures. Unlike a number of other factors, rIFN-beta 2/B cell stimulatory factor 2 (BSF-2)/IL-6 stimulates the growth of human B cells activated by EBV in a manner similar to that induced by activated monocyte supernatants. In addition, an antiserum to IFN-beta that recognizes both IFN-beta 1 and IFN-beta 2 completely neutralizes the B cell growth factor activity of activated monocyte supernatants. These findings demonstrate that IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6 is a growth factor for human B cells activated by EBV and suggest that this molecule is responsible for B cell growth stimulation induced by activated monocyte supernatants. We have examined the possibility that IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6 might also be responsible for B cell growth stimulation by supernatants of EBV-immortalized B cells and thus may function as an autocrine growth factor. However, IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6 is not detectable in supernatants of EBV-immortalized B cells by immunoprecipitation. Also, an antiserum to IFN-beta that neutralizes IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6 fails to neutralize autocrine growth factor activity. This suggests that autocrine growth factors produced by EBV-immortalized B cells are distinct from IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6. Thus, the continuous proliferation of EBV-immortalized B cells is enhanced by either autocrine or paracrine growth factors. One of the mediators with paracrine growth factor activity is IFN-beta 2/BSF-2/IL-6.

Characterization of wild-type and an active site mutant of human medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase after expression in Escherichia coli

The cDNA of human medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCADH) was modified by in vitro mutagenesis, and the sequence encoding the mature form of MCADH was introduced into an inducible expression plasmid. We observed synthesis of the protein in Escherichia coli cells transformed with this plasmid with measurable MCADH enzyme activity in cell extracts. Glutamic acid 376, which has been proposed by Powell and Thorpe (Powell, P. J., and Thorpe, J. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 8022-8028) as an essential residue and the proton-abstracting base at the active site of the enzyme, was mutated to glutamine. After expression in bacteria of this plasmid, the corresponding extracts show no detectable MCADH activity, although mutant MCADH-protein production was detected by protein immunoblots. The mature enzyme and the Gln376 mutant were purified to apparent homogeneity. The wild-type enzyme is a yellow protein due to the content of stoichiometric FAD and had a specific activity which is 50% of MCADH purified from pig kidney. The Gln376 mutant is devoid of activity (less than 0.02% that of wild type, expressed enzyme) and is green because of bound CoA persulfide. Properties of the mutant enzyme suggest that the Glu376----Gln change specifically affects substrate binding. These results prove that Glu376 plays an important role in the initial step of dehydrogenation catalysis.
