家蝇cDNA文库的构建

自Ｂｏｍａｎ小组 (Ｓｔｅｉｎｅｒ ,1981)从惜古比天蚕(Ｈｙａｌｏｐｈｏｒａｃｅｃｒｏｐｉａ)中分离、纯化出第一种抗菌肽天蚕素以来 ,人们已在昆虫和其他无脊椎动物中发现了 170多种抗菌肽 (Ｌｏｗｅｎｂｅｒｇｅｒｅｔａｌ ,1999)。目前 ,人们不仅搞清楚了多数抗菌肽的氨基酸序列、结构和功能特点 ,而且还对一些抗菌肽的基因进行了克隆 (陈留存和王金星 ,1999)。我们以家蝇为材料 ,分离、纯化出了抗菌肽 ,在此基础上 ,构建了经过诱导的家蝇ｃＤＮＡ文库 ,以克隆其基因。1　材料和方法1 1　实验材料家蝇 (Ｍｕｓｃａｄｏｍｅｓｔｉｃａ)…     

家蝇防御素在大肠杆菌中的表达、纯化与抗体制备

家蝇防御素是从家蝇中克隆得到的1种抗菌肽。为了进一步研究家蝇防御素的功能和制备特异性抗体,采用大肠杆菌表达外源蛋白的方法, 进行了家蝇防御素原核表达的研究。根据克隆到的家蝇防御素基因(Mdde) 的cDNA序列, 设计特异性引物, PCR 扩增成熟肽的cDNA片段, 将成熟肽序列重组到表达载体pGEX 4T 1中, 构建m Mdde/pGEX 4T 1重组表达载体, 在大肠杆菌BL21 中诱导表达, 重组表达的融合蛋白GST Mdde占菌体总蛋白的33 4%。纯化得到GST Mdde后, 再用凝血酶将其从特定位点切开, 得到表达的m Mdde。液体抑菌实验结果初步表明, 表达的融合蛋白GST Mdde对细菌生长有一定的抑制作用。利用纯化的GST Mdde融合蛋白, 制备了抗血清。     

家蝇总RNA的提了方法及其改进

本文采取异硫氰酸胍：氯仿一步法,成功地从富含RNase的家蝇腹部提取出完整的总RNA,并针对家蝇腹部富含蛋白酶的特点,对一步法的某些细节做了适当的改进,检测结果表明,用这种方法提取的RNA质量高,可以用于地进一步的分子生物学实验。     

家蝇防御素基因的cDNA克隆及序列分析

Defensin is a kind of cationic.inducible antimicrobial peptide found in a large range of living organisms that contributes to host defense by disrupting the cytoplasmic membrane of microorganisms.with their broad antimicrobial spectrum and strong pharmaceutical effects.antimicrobial peptides,including defensins,represent a source of novel antibiotic agents.A novel full-length 430 base pairs cDNA of an insect defensin was cloned using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the cDnA library of houseflies(Musca domestica) that had been challenged by E.coli and staphylococcus taincd an NH2-terminal signal sequence(1-22)followed by a propeptide and the mature peptide(53-92),The sequence identity with other insect defensin is between 51% and 73%.The mature peptide,with a predicted molecular weight of 4.0kDa,and pI of 8.69,has 1 negative charged amino acid and 4 positice ones,the putative housefly defensin is characterized by 6 invariant cysteine residues forming 3 disulfide bonds,Cys1-Cys4,Cys2-Cys5 and Cys3-Cys6,These results suggest that the novel full-length cDNA of the defensin gene.Denominated Mdde,has been successfully cloned from houseflies.
