Cloning and Expression of a New Gene Encoding an Antifungal Protein in Phytolacca americana

protein (Pa-AFP) with molecular weight about 4 kD was purified from the seeds of Phytolacca americana L. , which obviously inhibits the growth of Rhizoctonia solani Kiihn in vitro. The authors isolated mRNA from the seeds of pokeberry and designed a degenerate PCR primer according to the N-terminal sequence of the purified protein. The full-length cDNA encoding Pa-AFP was cloned by RT-PCR and 5'-RACE and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence indicates that a preprotein with 65 amino acid residues is firstly translated and then processed to a mature protein with 38 amino acids. The DNA encoding the mature protein was subcloned into expression vector pGEX-4T1, and expressed efficiently in E. coli BL21 as a GST- Pa-AFP fusion protein. The fusion protein was purified by glutathione-Sepharose 4B affinity colmnn chromatography. The purified fusion protein was specifically digested by thrombin and the Pa-AFP was further purified by filtration column chromatography.     

Activation process of dipteran-specific insecticidal protein produced by Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis.

Dipteran-specific insecticidal protein Cry4A is produced as a protoxin of 130 kDa in Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. Here we performed the in vitro processing of Cry4A and showed that the 130-kDa protoxin of Cry4A was processed into the two protease-resistant fragments of 20 and 45 kDa through the intramolecular cleavage of a 60-kDa intermediate. The processing into these two fragments was also observed in vivo. To investigate functional properties of the two fragments, GST (glutathione S-transferase) fusion proteins of the 60-kDa intermediate and the 20- and 45-kDa fragments were constructed. Neither the GST-20-kDa fusion protein (GST-20) nor the GST-45-kDa fusion protein (GST-45) was actively toxic against mosquito larvae of Culex pipiens, whereas the GST-60-kDa intermediate fusion protein (GST-60) exhibited significant toxicity. However, when the two fusion proteins GST-20 and GST-45 coexisted, significant toxicity was observed. The coprecipitation experiment demonstrated that the two fragments associated with each other. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that the two fragments formed an active complex of apparently 60 kDa. A mutant of the 60-kDa protein which was apparently resistant to the intramolecular cleavage with the midgut extract of C. pipiens larvae had toxicity slightly lower than that of GST-60.     

Bacterial expression and purification of human papillomavirus type 18 L1

The human papillomavirus (HPV) 18 L1 gene, which encodes the L1 major capsid protein, was isolated from a female patient in Pusan, Korea Republic and was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 vector. The HPV-18L1 gene was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with a glutathione-S-transferase (GST) tag. The soluble recombinant fusion protein, GST-18 L1 fusion, was isolated to high purity. HPV-18 L1 was purified from the GST-18 L1 fusant after biotinylated thrombin cleavage, and then the treated thrombin was removed serially using streptavidin conjugated resin. The purified HPV-18 L1 was confirmed by western blotting using a rabbit anti-denatured papillomavirus polyclonal antibody. The virus-like particles (VLP) from the purified full-length 18 L1 protein without any extra amino acid sequences was observed through the analysis of the electron microscope. This is the first study to report the expression and purification of HPV-18 L1 in E. coli. This expression and purification system offers a simple method of expressing and purifying HPV L1 protein, and could potentially be an effective route for the development and manufacturing of highly purified HPV-18 L1-based cervical cancer vaccines.
