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.     

Prokaryotic Expression of Antimicrobial Peptide CATH PR1–2 from the Skin of Paa robertingeri in Escherichia coli

The aim of this study was to investigate the prokaryotic expression of antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin(CATH) PR1 and PR2 from the skin of Paa robertingeri in Escherichia coli. Two active peptides, CATH PR1 and CATH PR2, belong to the CATH family in the skin of P. robertingeri. CATH PR1 has a relatively high antimicrobial activity, especially for the drug-resistant strains found in clinical practice; however, no antimicrobial activity has been found in CATH PR2. The molecular weights of both CATH PR1 and CATH PR2 are relatively low(3195.88 and 2838.34 Da, respectively). Thus, the genetic processes, as well as the expression and purification of these proteins, are difficult to perform. Therefore, in this study, CATH PR1 and CATH PR2 genes were tandem ligated and then connected to the plasmid p ET-32 a. This reconstructed plasmid was then transfected into the expression vector E. coliBL21 to construct the recombinant expression system. The fusion expression of peptide PR was stable in E. coli after induction with 1.0 mol/L isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside at 37°C for 4 h. The antimicrobial activity assay using Staphylococcus aureus(Song) and Candida albicans 08030102 showed that the antimicrobial activity of PR was similar to the antimicrobial activity of CATH PR1. This study showed that artificial modification of the amino acid sequences of PR1 and PR2 could result in better protein expression in prokaryotes, and the fusion protein expressed had relatively high antimicrobial and other biological activities. In conclusion, the findings suggest future prospects of the commercialization of this method.
