蜘蛛丝是天然的生物材料,具有潜在的巨大应用价值。研究蜘蛛丝蛋白质的结构与功能,有助于破解蜘蛛丝蛋白质的成丝机理,为制备优良材料学性能的仿生蜘蛛丝纤维提供理论依据。以MiSp蜘蛛丝的重复区和C端非重复区蛋白多肽为研究对象,在不同pH值和离子条件下,在体外研究其二级结构与成丝的关系。CD图谱显示:表达纯化的重组蜘蛛丝蛋白R1R2在pH 7.5、6.5和5.5时二级结构相似,均为无规则卷曲,而R1R2CT则主要呈现为α螺旋构象;扫描电镜结果表明:在以上3种pH条件下,只有pH 5.5时R1R2和R1R2CT才形成重组丝纤维,R1R2CT纤维形态较平整,类似于天然蛛丝纤维形态,而R1R2丝纤维则呈条带状,表面粗糙。另外,氯化钠不利于形成形态平整的丝纤维。该成果为研究蛛丝蛋白的成丝机理奠定基础,也为制备仿生蛛丝蛋白纤维提供理论依据。 相似文献

蜘蛛丝具有极高的强度和韧度,工业和医学应用价值很高,但由于蜘蛛的不可驯养性使其应用受到限制.因此,本文尝试利用基因工程的方法获得蛛丝蛋白的表达.我们利用巢式PCR技术从大腹圆蛛Araneus ventricosus基因组中克隆了长度为837 bp的拖牵丝蛋白基因(ASP),并分别将其构建至原核表达载体pGEX-6p-1和真核表达载体pGFP-N2上,分别命名为pASG和pASN.pASG在大肠杆菌中16℃下24 h诱导表达后,经蛋白质印迹证明成功地表达了GST-ASP融合蛋白;pASN转染昆虫sf9细胞48 h后观察到了绿色荧光蛋白GFP的表达,表明ASP基因在大肠杆菌和真核细胞中分别得到了正确表达.本研究为利用基因工程的方法开发蛛丝蛋白的生产途径提供了有益的尝试. 相似文献

利用异源重组表达系统表达外源蛋白是基因工程研究的重点。巴斯德毕赤酵母(Pichia pastoris)是一种甲基营养型酵母,由于其易于遗传操作、高水平分泌外源蛋白、翻译后修饰等特点,已成为工业应用中蛋白质生产的重要菌株,常被用于酶制剂的生产。然而,部分外源蛋白在毕赤酵母系统中的表达水平较低,仍有待提升的空间。因此,进一步探索提升毕赤酵母中外源蛋白表达量的原理和方法,将对降低毕赤酵母表达系统工业化生产成本,提高经济效益,具有重要的意义。本文主要从基因水平、转录水平、翻译水平、折叠分泌水平、抗逆水平、发酵工艺六个方面归纳总结了近年来毕赤酵母提高外源蛋白表达的优化策略的研究进展,旨在为提高外源蛋白在毕赤酵母表达系统中的表达水平提供有益参考。 相似文献

Background
Several materials have been used for tissue engineering purposes, since the ideal matrix depends on the desired tissue. Silk biomaterials have come to focus due to their great mechanical properties. As untreated silkworm silk has been found to be quite immunogenic, an alternative could be spider silk. Not only does it own unique mechanical properties, its biocompatibility has been shown already in vivo. In our study, we used native spider dragline silk which is known as the strongest fibre in nature.Methodology/Principal Findings
Steel frames were originally designed and manufactured and woven with spider silk, harvesting dragline silk directly out of the animal. After sterilization, scaffolds were seeded with fibroblasts to analyse cell proliferation and adhesion. Analysis of cell morphology and actin filament alignment clearly revealed adherence. Proliferation was measured by cell count as well as determination of relative fluorescence each after 1, 2, 3, and 5 days. Cell counts for native spider silk were also compared with those for trypsin-digested spider silk. Spider silk specimens displayed less proliferation than collagen- and fibronectin-coated cover slips, enzymatic treatment reduced adhesion and proliferation rates tendentially though not significantly. Nevertheless, proliferation could be proven with high significance (p<0.01).Conclusion/Significance
Native spider silk does not require any modification to its application as a biomaterial that can rival any artificial material in terms of cell growth promoting properties. We could show adhesion mechanics on intracellular level. Additionally, proliferation kinetics were higher than in enzymatically digested controls, indicating that spider silk does not require modification. Recent findings concerning reduction of cell proliferation after exposure could not be met. As biotechnological production of the hierarchical composition of native spider silk fibres is still a challenge, our study has a pioneer role in researching cellular mechanics on native spider silk fibres. 相似文献14.
Spider silk has been studied extensively for its attractive mechanical properties and potential applications in medicine and industry. The production of spider silk, however, has been lagging behind for lack of suitable systems. Our approach focuses on solving the production of spider silk by designing, expressing, purifying and characterizing the silk from cylindriform glands. We show that the cylindriform silk protein, in contrast to the commonly used dragline silk protein, is fully folded and stable in solution. With the help of GFP as a fusion tag we enhanced the expression of the silk protein in Escherichia coli and could optimize the downstream processing. Secondary structures analysis by circular dichroism and FTIR shows that the GFP‐silk fusion protein is predominantly α‐helical, and that pH can trigger a α‐ to β‐transition resulting in aggregation. Structural analysis by small angle X‐ray scattering suggests that the GFP‐Silk exists in the form of a hexamer in solution. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Biopolymers 101: 378–390, 2014. 相似文献

Since thousands of years humans have utilized insect silks for their own benefit and comfort. The most famous example is the
use of reeled silkworm silk from Bombyx mori to produce textiles. In contrast, despite the more promising properties of their silk, spiders have not been domesticated
for large-scale or even industrial applications, since farming the spiders is not commercially viable due to their highly
territorial and cannibalistic nature. Before spider silks can be copied or mimicked, not only the sequence of the underlying
proteins but also their functions have to be resolved. Several attempts to recombinantly produce spider silks or spider silk
mimics in various expression hosts have been reported previously. A new protein engineering approach, which combines synthetic
repetitive silk sequences with authentic silk domains, reveals proteins that closely resemble silk proteins and that can be
produced at high yields, which provides a basis for cost-efficient large scale production of spider silk-like proteins. 相似文献

Spider dragline silk is a natural fiber that has excellent tensile properties; however, it is difficult to produce artificially as a long, strong fiber. Here, the spider (Araneus ventricosus) dragline protein gene was cloned and a transgenic silkworm was generated, that expressed the fusion protein of the fibroin heavy chain and spider dragline protein in cocoon silk. The spider silk protein content ranged from 0.37 to 0.61% w/w (1.4–2.4 mol%) native silkworm fibroin. Using a good silk-producing strain, C515, as the transgenic silkworm can make the raw silk from its cocoons for the first time. The tensile characteristics (toughness) of the raw silk improved by 53% after the introduction of spider dragline silk protein; the improvement depended on the quantity of the expressed spider dragline protein. To demonstrate the commercial feasibility for machine reeling, weaving, and sewing, we used the transgenic spider silk to weave a vest and scarf; this was the first application of spider silk fibers from transgenic silkworms. 相似文献

Functional biological materials are a growing research area with potential applicability in medicine and biotechnology. Using genetic engineering, the possibility to introduce additional functions into spider silk‐based materials has been realized. Recently, a recombinant spider silk fusion protein, Z‐4RepCT, was produced intracellularly in Escherichia coli and could after purification self‐assemble into silk‐like fibers with ability to bind antibodies via the IgG‐binding Z domain. In this study, the use of the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris for production of Z‐4RepCT has been investigated. Temperature, pH and production time were influencing the amount of soluble Z‐4RepCT retrieved from the extracellular fraction. Purification of secreted Z‐4RepCT resulted in a mixture of full‐length and degraded silk proteins that failed to self‐assemble into fibers. A position in the C‐terminal domain of 4RepCT was identified as being subjected to proteolytic cleavage by proteases in the Pichia culture supernatant. Moreover, the C‐terminal domain was subjected to glycosylation during production in P. pastoris. These observed alterations of the CT domain are suggested to contribute to the failure in fiber assembly. As alternative approach, Z‐4RepCT retrieved from the intracellular fraction, which was less degraded, was used and shown to retain ability to assemble into silk‐like fibers after enzymatic deglycosylation. 相似文献

Raman spectroscopy has long been proved to be a useful tool to study the conformation of protein-based materials such as silk. Thanks to recent developments, linearly polarized Raman spectromicroscopy has appeared very efficient to characterize the molecular structure of native single silk fibers and spinning dopes because it can provide information relative to the protein secondary structure, molecular orientation, and amino acid composition. This review will describe recent advances in the study of the structure of silk by Raman spectromicroscopy. A particular emphasis is put on the spider dragline and silkworm cocoon threads, other fibers spun by orb-weaving spiders, the spinning dope contained in their silk glands and the effect of mechanical deformation. Taken together, the results of the literature show that Raman spectromicroscopy is particularly efficient to investigate all aspects of silk structure and production. The data provided can lead to a better understanding of the structure of the silk dope, transformations occurring during the spinning process, and structure and mechanical properties of native fibers. 相似文献
