人TFF2基因的原核表达与纯化(英文)

人三叶因子2(hTFF2)具有促进细胞迁移和抑制细胞凋亡的活性,所以被认为是胃肠黏膜修复的启动者之一。因为从人组织中获得hTFF2比较困难,而且体外产生的重组hTFF2大都以融合蛋白的形式存在,所以该研究的目的是在体外产生不带任何融合蛋白的游离型hTFF2。hTFF2的开放阅读框被插入pET-32a(+)表达载体,然后在大肠杆菌中表达出带有硫氧还蛋白融合部分的hTFF2融合蛋白。进而利用融合蛋白的组氨酸标签使用镍亲和色谱柱以及反向高压色谱柱对目的蛋白进行纯化。23°C,FXa因子裂解纯度高达95%的融合蛋白以得到游离型hTFF2。在去除FXa因子和尚未被切开的融合蛋白后,获得的游离型hTFF2被SDS-PAGE和Westernblotting所证实。重组游离型hTFF2的产量约为5mg/L,并且hTFF2能促进IEC-6细胞的迁移以及体外的伤口修复,而这些活性是依赖于ERK1/2的激活。同时,hTFF2也能抑制50μmol/L神经鞘氨醇所引起的HCT-116细胞的凋亡。总之,研究结果表明,在大肠杆菌中高产量地成功表达出具有生物学活性的游离型hTFF2,这为研究TFF2的分子机制,以及研制和开发TFF2的相关药物都提供很大的帮助。     

High-level expression of human TFF3 in Escherichia coli

A strategy for expression and purification of recombinant N-terminal human trefoil factor family-domain peptide 3 (hTFF3) in Escherichia coli was established. The gene of hTFF3 was synthesized to substitute the low-usage condons with corresponding high-usage synonymous condons. At the same time, the signal peptide of DsbC was added to the N-terminus of the hTFF3 gene. The mature recombinant hTFF3 was located in the periplasm of E. coli, which can be released by sonication. The protein was further purified by a two-step cation exchange chromatography mentod. The yield is about 14-15 mg/l of culture. The biological activity of purified hTFF3 was analyzed by cell-based apoptosis assay, which shows that the recombinant hTFF3 is biologically active.

Biochemical characterization of recombinant Drosophila type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP1c) produced in Pichia pastoris.

The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris was used to express Drosophila melanogaster type 1beta serine/threonine phosphoprotein phosphatase catalytic subunit (PP1beta9C). A construct encoding PP1beta9C with a short NH(2)-terminal fusion including six histidine residues was introduced into the X-33 and KM71H strains of P. pastoris by homologous recombination. Recombinant protein was purified from cell free extracts 24 h after methanol induction. PP1beta9C was purified to a specific activity of 12,077 mU/mg by a three-step purification method comprising (NH(4))(2)SO(4)-ethanol precipitation followed by Ni(2+)-agarose affinity chromatography and Mono Q anion-exchange chromatography. This purification scheme yielded approximately 80 microg of active, soluble PP1beta9C per 1 L of culture. In contrast to recombinant PP1beta9C overexpressed in bacteria, which differs from native PP1c in several biochemical criteria including the requirement for divalent cations, sensitivity to vanadate, and p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) phosphatase activity, recombinant PP1beta9C produced in P. pastoris has native-like properties. P. pastoris thus provides a reliable and convenient system for the production of active, native-like recombinant PP1beta9C.     

球孢白僵菌丝氨酸蛋白酶基因CDEP-1在毕赤酵母中的表达

我们从球孢白僵菌中克隆了丝氨酸蛋白酶Pr1类基因CDEP-1。为明确CDEP-1的功能、评价其在害虫生物防治中的潜力,需要大量制备具有生物活性的CDEP-1编码蛋白。由于大肠杆菌系统表达真核基因存在产物复性困难的问题,本文利用毕赤酵母系统来表达CDEP-1。结果表明,CDEP-1可在毕赤酵母中高效的分泌表达,而且产物活性高,甲醇诱导48h后上清液中的酶活即可达到38,266U/L。诱导表达的上清液经浓缩后进行凝胶过滤层析,得到了CDEP-1的初纯品,蛋白质含量为50mg/L。将纯化的蛋白酶CDEP-1免疫家兔,制备了CDEP-1的抗血清。Westernblotting分析表明,制备的抗血清可特异性地检测CDEP-1。     

High yield secretion of the sweet-tasting protein lysozyme from the yeast Pichia pastoris

Hen egg lysozyme (HEL) is one of the sweet-tasting proteins. To understand why lysozyme is sweet, the enzyme was synthesized at high yields by a recombinant method. The mature HEL gene was cloned from a Taq polymerase-amplified PCR product into the Pichia pastoris expression and secretion vector pPIC6alpha. This expression vector contains both the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pre-pro alpha-mating factor secretion signal and the blasticidin resistance gene (bsd) for selection of transformants in bacteria and yeast. Expression of HEL was carried out in fermenter cultures. Culture supernatants were concentrated by ultrafiltration and purified by CM-ion exchange chromatography. Approximately 400 mgL-1 of recombinant HEL was obtained. The high yield of recombinant lysozyme enabled us to perform a sensory analysis in humans. The purified recombinant lysozyme elicited as a sweet taste sensation as does the lysozyme purified directly from egg white, and showed full lytic activity against cells of Micrococcus luteus. These results demonstrate that the P. pastoris expression system with the blasticidin S selection system is useful in producing recombinant sweet-tasting protein in active form at a high yield.     

High-level expression of active recombinant ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase of Drosophila melanogaster in Pichia pastoris

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolases (UCHs) are implicated in the proteolytic processing of polymeric ubiquitin. The high specificity for the recognition site makes UCHs useful enzymes for in vitro cleavage of ubiquitin fusion proteins. In this work, an active C-terminal His-tagged UCH from Drosophila melanogaster (DmUCH) was produced as a secretory form in a recombinant strain of the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The production of recombinant DmUCH by Mut(s) strain was much higher than that by Mut(+) strain, which was confirmed by Western blot analysis. When expression was induced at pH 6.0 in a BMMY/methanol medium, the concentration of recombinant DmUCH reached 210 mg l(-1). With the (His)(6)-tag, the recombinant DmUCH was easily purified by Ni-NTA chromatography and 18 mg pure active DmUCH were obtained from 100ml culture broth supernatant. Ubiquitin-magainin fusion protein was efficiently cleaved by DmUCH, yielding recombinant magainin with high antimicrobial activity. After removing the contaminants by Ni-NTA chromatography, recombinant magainin was purified to homogeneity easily by reversed-phase HPLC. Analysis of the recombinant magainin by ESI-MS showed that the molecular weight of the purified recombinant magainin was 2465 Da, which perfectly matches the mass calculated from the amino acid sequence. The result of mass spectrometry confirmed that the purified His-tagged DmUCH can recognize the ubiquitin-magainin fusion protein and cleave it at the carboxyl terminus of ubiquitin precisely. Our results showed that P. pastoris is a robust system to express the secreted form of DmUCH.

Pisum sativum mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase can be assembled as a functional alpha(2)beta(2) heterotetramer in the cytoplasm of Pichia pastoris

Pea (Pisum sativum) mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1) was produced by coexpression of the mature alpha and beta subunits in the cytoplasm of the yeast Pichia pastoris. Size-exclusion chromatography of recombinant E1, using a Superose 12 column, yielded a peak at M(r) 160,000 that contained both alpha and beta subunits as well as E1 activity. This corresponds to the size of native alpha(2)beta(2) E1. Recombinant E1 alpha (His(6))-E1 beta was purified by affinity chromatography using immobilized Ni(+), with a yield of 2.8 mg L(-1). The pyruvate-decarboxylating activity of recombinant E1 was dependent upon added Mg(2+) and thiamin-pyrophosphate and was enhanced by the oxidant potassium ferricyanide. Native pea mitochondrial E1-kinase catalyzed phosphorylation of Ser residues in the alpha-subunit of recombinant E1, with concomitant loss of enzymatic activity. Thus, mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase can be assembled in the cytoplasm of P. pastoris into an alpha(2)beta(2) heterotetramer that is both catalytically active and competent for regulatory phosphorylation.     

Expression of GST-fused kinase domain of human Csk homologous kinase from Pichia pastoris facilitates easy purification

Human Csk Homologous Kinase (CHK), a protein of 527 amino acid residues, is involved in suppression of breast tumors. The kinase domain of CHK (amino acid residues 228 to 485) expressed with C-terminal 6HIS fusion in Pichia pastoris is heavily glycosylated. Expression of the C-terminal 6HIS fused kinase domain of CHK, with an N-terminal glutathione S-transferase fusion, in Pichia pastoris alleviated the hyperglycosylation. The expressed protein was purified by affinity chromatography to 1 mg l(-1) culture and remained active. A simple plate assay to identify colonies of P. pastoris expressing the recombinant protein is also presented.     

Constitutive expression of human pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 in Pichia pastoris

High-level constitutive expression of the human pancreatic lipase-related protein 1 (HPLRP1) was achieved using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. The HPLRP1 cDNA, including its original leader sequence, was subcloned into the pGAPZB vector and further integrated into the genome of P. pastoris X-33 under the control of the glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAP) constitutive promoter. A major protein with a molecular mass of 50 kDa was found to be secreted into the culture medium and was identified using anti-HPLRP1 polyclonal antibodies as HPLRP1 recombinant protein. The level of expression reached 100-120 mg of HPLRP1 per liter of culture medium after 40 h, as attested by specific and quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A single cation-exchange chromatography sufficed to obtain a highly purified recombinant HPLRP1 after direct batch adsorption onto S-Sepharose of the HPLRP1 present in the culture medium, at pH 5.5. N-terminal sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis were carried out to monitor the production of the mature protein and to confirm that its signal peptide was properly processed.     

Expression, purification, and characterization of recombinant human soluble BAFF secreted from the yeast Pichia pastoris

The B lymphocyte stimulator (BAFF) is a novel member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family which is important in B lymphocyte maturation and survival. Herein, the cDNA coding for the extracellular domain of the BAFF (hsBAFF) has been cloned into the secreting expression organism Pichia pastoris. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assays of culture broth from a methanol-induced expression strain demonstrated that recombinant hsBAFF, a 20.2 kDa glycosylated protein, was secreted into the culture medium. The recombinant protein was purified to greater than 95% using DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange and Superdex 75 size-exclusion chromatography steps. Finally, 102 mg of the protein was obtained in high purity from 1 L of the supernatant and its identity to hsBAFF was confirmed by NH(2)-terminal amino acid sequence analysis Bioactivity of the recombinant hsBAFF was confirmed by the ability of the protein to stimulate human B lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Our results suggest that the P. pastoris expression system can be used to produce large quantities of fully functional hsBAFF for both research and industrial purpose.
