表达鸡传染性支气管炎病毒JS/95/03株S1蛋白的重组杆状病毒构建

The recombinant baculovirus expressing S1 glycoprotein of nephropathogenic strain JS/95/03 of infectious bronchitis virus was generated by using the Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system.The BamH I-Sal Ⅰ fragment containing S1 gene from the recombinant plasmid pMDJS9503S1 was purified and cloned in frame into the baculovirus transposing vector pFASTBAC HTa under the polyhedrin gene promoter.The recombinant transposing plasmid pFASTJS9503S1 was screened and then transformed into Escherichia coli DH10BAC.The resulting recombinant bacmid rBacmidJS9503S1 was transfected into cells of the insect Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9)and the recombinant baculoviruse rAcJS9503S1 was obtained.The lysates of cells infected with rAcJS9503S1 were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and the expressed product of S1 gene was detected by Western bloting and immunofluorescence assay(IFA).The results showed the recombinant baculovirus was fully capable of expressing S1 glycoprotein of JS/95/03.Maybe owing to the incomplete glycosylation in insect cells,the S1 gene product had a Mr of only 61000.In immunofluorescence test and Western blotting,the expressed product could react with polycolonal antibody against IBV M41 strain,indicating it possessed the antigenic properties specific for native S1 glycoprotein.     

An Accurate Model for the Expression of the Antisense RNA Block Gene:the Firefly Luciferase Gene-Xenopus Oocyte System

The plasmid p~(SV-Luc20)or the mRNA of luciferase gene transcribed from p~(SP64-Luc12)was introduced intothe nucleus or cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes at stages 5-6 by microinjection.Then the injectedoocytes were incubated in MB medium at 18℃ for definite periods,and the crude enzyme ofluciferase was prepared.Results indicated that the luciferase gent and its mRNA could be transcribedand translated into the enzymatic protein of luciferase with high biological activity,and could alsocatalyze the substrates to emit light.If different ratios of firefly lucifcrasc gene and its antisense RNA were introduced together into thenucleus or cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes,then the expression of firefly luciferase gone was severelyblocked.Since the lucifcrasc activity can be measured rapidly and quantitatively and the Xenopusoocytes obtained easily,the firefly luciferase gene-Xenopus oocyte system is an excellent model forrevealing quantitatively how the antisense RNA can block gene expression.     

人睫状神经营养因子在大肠杆菌和毕赤酵母中的表达和生物活性测定

The recombinant human ciliary neurotrophi factor(hCNTF)expressed in E.coli aggregatedas inclusion bodies and refolding procedure was necessary to obtine the active protein.To overcome the disadvantage,we cloned hcntf gene into yeast expression plasmid pPIC9K and collected the plasmid pPIC9K-hcntf.Plasmid pPIC9K-hcntf was transformed into yeast Pichia pastoris GS115,and screened on G418-SD plates.The transformants with high copies of hcntf gene were inoculated into BMMY media and induced with 0.5% methanol.The recombinant hCNTF was secreted into the media.The amount of hCNTF in the supernatant was about 10 mg/L when incubated in the conical flasks and reached up to 60 mg/L under fed-batch condition in 15 L fermentator.The recombinant hCNTF expressed in E.coli was renatured as the control.The neonatal rat dorsal root ganglion assay showed that proteins expressed in both systems have the activity of promoting the growth of neuron axons.The phenomenon can be observed with only 3 μg hCNTF expressed in yeast present,which indicates that hCNTF was successfully expressed in Pichia pastoris and has a relatively high activity.

Using a pair of specific primers designed according to the relevant nucleotide sequences from GenBank, the main antigen domain for VP2 gene of Porcine parvovirus was ampilified with PCR method using the genomic DNA as template. The PCR product was cloned into the expression vector pIREShyg to get a recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pIREShyg-VP2, which was then transfected into the CHO-K1 cells. The expressed product was detected by IFA after the positive cell clone was selected with hygromycin. The result revealed that the main antigen domain for VP2 gene of porcine parvovirus was stably expressed in CHO-K1 cells.     

Rescue and Preliminary Application of a Recombinant Newcastle Disease Virus Expressing Green Fluorescent Protein Gene

Based on the complete genome sequence of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ZJI strain, seven pairs of primers were designed to amplify a cDNA fragment for constructing the plasmid pNDV/ZJI, which contained the full-length cDNA of the NDV ZJI strain. The pNDV/ZJI, with three helper plasmids, pCIneoNP, pCIneoP and pCIneoL, were then cotransfected into BSR-T7/5 cells expressing T7 RNA polymerase. After inoculation of the transfected cell culture supernatant into embryonated chicken eggs from specific-pathogen-free (SPF) flock, an infectious NDV ZJI strain was successfully rescued. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was amplified and inserted into the NDV full-length cDNA to generate a GFP-tagged recombinant plasmid pNDV/ZJIGFP. After cotransfection of the resultant plasmid and the three support plasmids into BSR-T7/5 cells, the recombinant NDV, NDV/ZJIGFP, was rescued. Specific green fluorescence was observed in BSR-T7/5 and chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells 48h post-infection, indicating that the GFP gene was expressed at a relatively high level. NDV/ZJIGFP was inoculated into 10-day-old SPF chickens by oculonasal route. Four days post-infection, strong green fluorescence could be detected in the kidneys and tracheae, indicating that the recombinant GFP-tagged NDV could be a very useful tool for analysis of NDV dissemination and pathogenesis.     

Antisense EGFR sequence reverses the growth properties of human liver carcinoma cell line BEL-7404 in vitro

A recombinant plasmid containing a full length human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) cDNA sequence in antisense orientation was transferred into cells of a human liver carcinoma cell line BEL-7404. Compared with the control cell clone JX-0 transferred with the vector plasmid and the parent BEL-7404 cells, the antisense EGFR transferred cell clone JX-1 showed a decreased EGFR gene expression and reduced significantly the growth potential either in anchorage-dependent or anchorage-independent growth. Furthermore, JX-1 cells appeared to be distinctly dependent on serum concentration for monolayer growth. The results suggested that antisense EGFR could partly block the EGFR gene expression and reverse the malignant growth properties of human liver carcinoma cells in vitro.     

In vivo transcription of two promoters, PTH4 and PTH270 involved in regulation ofStreptomyces differentiation

The promoters, PTH4 and P-TH270 involved in the regulation of Streptomyces coelicolor differentiation were subcloned into Streptomyces promoter, i.e. probe plasmid pIJ4083, and the recombinant plasmids, pIJ4470 and pIJ4471, were constructed. Two promoters could drive the expression of reporter gene encoding catechol dioxygenase when pIJ4470 and pIJ4471 were introduced into some white mutants (C85, C70, C71, C17 and C119). The total RNA was isolated from these strains containing recombinant plasmid. Probes were prepared by labelling 5 -ends of PTH4 AND PTH270 DNA fragments using radioisotope. DNA - RNA hybridization was carried out with the probes and RNAs isolated from different strains. The S1 mapping result showed that all RNAs from strains of C85/pIJ4470, C85/4471, C70/pIJ4470, C70/pIJ4471 and C17/pIJ4470 as well as C17/pIJ4471 gave rise to strong positive hy-bridization signal, whereas RNAs from C71/pIJ4470 and C71/pIJ4471 did not give any positive signal. RNAs from C119/pIJ4470 and C119/pIJ4471 gav

The densovirus of Periplaneta fuliginosa (PfDNV) as an insect vector for persistent foreign gene expression in vivo

An infectious clone of the Periplaneta fuliginosa densovirus (PfDNV) has been constructed and the PfDNV genome can rescue from the plasmid and replicate as the wild-type virus in nymphs of P. fuliginosa. To investigate the ability of the cloned PfDNV genome to be used as a stable and persistent expression vector, we constructed seven recombinant plasmids in which the GFP reporter gene was inserted into the genome of PfDNV. When these recombinant constructs were transfected into hosts, the GFP was expressed efficiently in every clone. Southern blot analysis revealed that recombinant plasmids had integrated into host genome. Infectious recombinant virions could be produced from plasmids in which the GFP gene was downstream of and in frame with the NS3 and NS1 coding regions. These results indicate that PfDNV genome can be used as an insect vector for the transfer and persistent expression of an exogenous gene.

Molecular characterization and expression of the cell-associated glucosyltransferase gene from Streptococcus mutans.

A gene encoding cell-associated glucosyltransferase (CA-GTase) was cloned from Streptococcus mutans MT8148 into Escherichia coli DH5 alpha by using a low-copy-number plasmid, pMW119. After screening of a gene library with the oligonucleotide probe designed on the basis of a partial amino acid sequence of CA-GTase, a recombinant plasmid, pSK6, that had a 5.6 kb insert carrying the CA-GTase gene was selected. The gene product (recombinant CA-GTase) of pSK6 was expressed by using a lac promoter in pMW119. Western blotting revealed that rCA-GTase reacted with antibody to CA-GTase. rCA-GTase was found to synthesize water-insoluble glucans. Southern blotting indicated that the MT8148 chromosome contained another gene which was homologous to pSK6. A plasmid harboring this gene (pSK16) was also isolated from the gene library, the gene product of pSK16 exhibited GTase activity but ten times lower than that of pSK6.

Preliminary application of a mosquito densovirus-mediated artificial intron in vitro and in vive of mosquito

An artificial intron consisting of the 5'-donor site (from the first intron of the human beta-globin gene) and the 3'-acceptor site (from the intron of an immunoglobulin gene heavy chain variable region) was obtained with a splice overlap extension PCR and was then inserted in frame into the coding sequence of nostructural protein NS1 gene fused to GFP gene in a recombinant mosquito densovirus plasmid p7NS1-GFP. The constructed plasmid was named as p7NS1-Intron-GFP. The plasmid p7NS1-Intron-GFP was co transfected with the helper plasmid pUCA into C6/36 cells, then the packaged recombinant and wild type viruses were purified and recovered. The second-instars of Aedes albopictus larvae were exposed to recombinant and wild type virus mixed stock. The high level GFP expression in C6/36 cells and larvae was observed under fluorescence microscope, indicating that the inserted artificial intron exerted its normal function in self-splicing both in vitro and in vivo. This study laid a foundation for application of an artificial intron in insect cells and development of new strategy for genetic engineering technology of mosqtuito and its pathogens.
