Construction and purification of pSABR 01, a pUC19-derived vector optimized for cloning full-length cDNA

A novel pUC19-derived vector, pSABR 01, was constructed by sub-cloning a fragment of the pSPORT1 polylinker into PUC19. The insertion of the polylinker generated two inactivating mutations in the LacZ open reading frame. These were then repaired by a PCR-based Site Directed Mutagenesis strategy. The pSABR 01 plasmid has four sites that are recognized by `rare-cutter' restriction endonucleases that will optimize the cloning of full-length cDNA and five dual restriction sites that increase the versatility of subcloning the inserted cDNA. Protocols were also defined for purification of pSABR 01 from residual pSPORT1, following pSABR 01 construction, and from another contaminating plasmid.     

转铁蛋白受体单链抗体与BDNF融合蛋白的表达及活性鉴定

脑源性神经营养因子（BDNF）对中枢神经系统的多种神经元具有营养,修复和保护功能,但因无法通过血脑屏障限制了其应用。本文利用抗转铁蛋白受体（TfR）的单链抗体（ox26-scFv）作为脑转运载体,分别扩增单链抗体和BDNF基因,插入pTIG-Trx载体,构建融合基因表达载体pTIG-Trx/scFv-BDNF,在大肠杆菌BL21（DE3）中实现了高效表达。经Ni-NTA金属鏊合层析柱纯化后,在41Kd处可见目的纯化条带。大鼠GH3细胞免疫酶染色显示,ScFv-BDNF融合蛋白能与转铁蛋白受体特异性结合。同时能够促进鸡胚背根节神经突起的生长,具备了BDNF的生物学活性。为使BDNF能够跨越血脑屏障成为中枢神经系统的治疗药物打下了实验基础。

Study of mechanisms of electric field-induced DNA transfection. III. Electric parameters and other conditions for effective transfection.

Electric parameters, osmolality, temperature, and pH of the suspending medium and the growth phase of cells, etc., are known to influence the efficiency of the pulsed electric field (PEF)-induced DNA transfection of cells. PEF-induced transfection of Escherichia coli JM105 by plasmid DNA PUC18, PUC19, PBR322, and PMSG has been used as a model system to establish quantitative relationships between these parameters and transfection efficiency. The main findings are summarized for experiments using unipolar square wave PEF. (a) For a given field strength (up to 6 kV/cm), the transfection efficiency (TE) was linearly dependent on the pulse width (up to 1 ms). (b) When field strength is fixed, Log [TE] correlated with the number of pulses applied. Similarly, when field duration was fixed, Log [TE] correlated with the number of pulses. (c) In the absence of MgCl2, TE showed a maximal value at 50 mM sucrose and was reduced by several fold at lower and higher sucrose concentrations. Cell survival was nearly constant in the range 1-300 mM sucrose. (d) E. coli in the early and mid-exponential growth phases was more susceptible to PEF for DNA transfection than it was in the stationary phase. (e) For a given set of electric parameters, TE was the highest at neutral pH and was greatly reduced at acidic and alkaline pH. (f) Increasing the temperature from 0 to 37 degrees C resulted in the reduction of TE by three orders of magnitude. This could reflect a rapid shrinking of pores at higher temperatures. (g) TE was inversely proportional to the square of the size of the plasmid DNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Shuttle plasmids constructed by the transformation of an Escherichia coli cloning vector into two Deinococcus radiodurans plasmids

An Escherichia coli plasmid that confers kanamycin resistance (Kmr) was inserted into the large Deinococcus radiodurans cryptic plasmids pUE10 and pUE11, yielding pS28 and pS19. The method of insertion involved both in vitro splicing and the natural transformation of D. radiodurans and yielded full-length clones in E. coli of pUE10 and pUE11. Both pS28 and pS19 replicated and expressed Kmr in E. coli and D. radiodurans. In both pS28 and pS19, D. radiodurans plasmid sequences were immediately upstream from the Kmr determinant. Transformation experiments suggested that Kmr expression in D. radiodurans was initiated in upstream D. radiodurans sequences. Restriction maps of pS28 and pS19 showed that each plasmid contained three MraI sites. Both pS28 and pS19 transformed the MraI-producing D. radiodurans strain R1 at low frequencies. D. radiodurans strain Sark, which naturally contains pUE10 and pUE11, was transformed by pS28 and pS19 at much higher frequencies. A Sark derivative that was cured for pUE10 was isolated by screening Sark/pS28 subisolates for loss of kanamycin resistance.     

Polypyrimidine/polypurine sequence in plasmid DNA enhances formation of dimer molecules inEscherichia coli

Formation of dimer molecules of a recombinant plasmid, pTIR10, which carries a pyrimidine/purine-biased stretch occurs about 6-fold more efficiently than for the control plasmid pUC19 inEscherichia coli strain JM107. Since pyrimidine/purine-biased sequences have a potential to form unusual DNA structures, this observation suggests that the inserted sequence affects the replication process of plasmid DNA, probably by forming a triple helix under physiological conditions.

Cloning of the gene and immunochemical specificity of recombinant immunoglobulin binding protein V7 from Streptococcus valente (group G)]

The fragment of the structural gene coding for the Fc-receptor of Streptococcus Valente (G group) has been cloned. The resulting recombinant plasmid pPGSV1 contains the O, kb HindIII fragment of streptococcal chromosomal DNA inserted into the vector plasmid pUC19 and determines the expression of the 31 kD protein in Escherichia coli cells. The protein binds the immunoglobulins of human, rabbit, guinea pig origin, but in contrast to the G protein of another G group streptococcus it is nonreactive with mouse, pig and sheep IgG.     

Interaction of 2-chloro-N10-substituted phenoxazine with DNA and effect on DNA melting

Five N10-substituted phenoxazines having different R groups and -Cl substitution at C-2 were found to bind to calf -thymus DNA and plasmid DNA with high affinity as seen from by UV and CD spectroscopy. The effect of phenoxazines on DNA were studied using DNA-ethidium bromide complexes. Upon addition of phenoxazines, the ethidium bromide dissociated from the complex with DNA. The binding of phenoxazines to plasmid PUC18 reduced ethidium bromide binding as seen from the agarose gel electrophoresis. Butyl, and propyl substituted phenoxazines were able to release more ethidium bromide compared with that of acetyl substitution. Addition of phenoxazines also enhanced melting temperature of DNA.

Synthesis, cloning, and expression in Escherichia coli of a spinach acyl carrier protein-I gene

A synthetic gene of 268 bp encoding the 82 amino acid spinach acyl carrier protein (ACP)-I was constructed based on the known amino acid sequence. Two gene fragments, one encoding the amino-terminal portion and the other the carboxy-terminal portion of the protein, were assembled from synthetic oligonucleotides and inserted into the phage M13mp19. These partial gene constructions were joined and inserted into the plasmid pTZ19R. DNA sequencing confirmed the accuracy of the constructions. The synthetic gene was then subcloned into the Escherichia coli expression vector pKK233-2, under the control of the trc promoter. Western blot analysis and radioimmunoassay indicated that E. coli cells carrying this plasmid produced up to 6 mg/liter of a protein which was immunologically cross-reactive and similar in electrophoretic mobility to authentic spinach acyl carrier protein. The bacterial cells were able to attach the phosphopantetheine prosthetic group to the synthetic plant gene product allowing it to be acylated in vitro by acyl-ACP synthetase.     

Effect of the potential triplex DNA region on the in vitro expression of bacterial beta-lactamase gene in superhelical recombinant plasmids.

The effect of a pyrimidine/purine-biased stretch which has the potential to form an unusual triplex DNA structure on gene expression has been analyzed by measuring the activity of beta-lactamase as a reporter gene in recombinant plasmids. The Escherichia coli transformant carrying the plasmid p7ERS which has a potential triplex DNA region expressed about twofold more beta-lactamase activity than that carrying the plasmid pUC19. Since the expression of beta-lactamase has been shown to be affected by template topology in vitro, this in vivo observation suggests that the inserted pyrimidine/purine-biased stretch modulates the topology of flanking regions by forming unusual DNA structure to keep the template at the superhelicity favorable for the expression of beta-lactamase.
