The insect-baculovirus expression system has proved particularly useful for producing recombinant proteins that are biologically active. Overexpression of foreign proteins using the recombinant baculovirus system is often accompanied by aggregation of the overexpressed protein, which is thought to be due to a limitation of the translated protein folding in the infected cells. Co-infection of a recombinant baculovirus capable of expressing the human chaperone Hsp70 slightly increased the solubility of the overexpressed Epstein-Barr virus replication protein, BZLF1. Co-expression of Hsp70 and its co-factor, Hsdj or Hsp40, was here found to improve the solubility of the target protein several fold. Thus, a baculovirus expression system producing these molecular chaperones may find application for improved production of target foreign gene products in insect cells. 相似文献

A possible function of eukaryotic heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) as endogenous danger signal has been controversially discussed in the past. Hsp60 was shown to induce the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines in professional antigen-presenting cells and to enhance the activation of T cells in primary stimulation. However, in vitro activation of macrophages by Hsp60 was attributed to contaminating endotoxin in the recombinant Hsp60 protein preparations. Here, we employ low endotoxin recombinant human Hsp60 and murine Hsp60 expressed by eukaryotic cell lines to dissect the Hsp60 protein-mediated effects from biologic effects that are mediated by prokaryotic contaminants in the Hsp60 protein preparation. The induction of tumor necrosis factor-alpha secretion in mouse macrophages is lost after endotoxin removal and is not mediated by Hsp60 expressed in eukaryotic systems. In contrast, the Hsp60-mediated enhancement of antigen-specific T cell activation does not correlate with endotoxin contamination. Moreover, Hsp60 that is expressed on the surface of different eukaryotic cell lines increases the activation of T cells in primary stimulation. Taken together, we provide evidence that endogenous Hsp60, which is thought to be released from dying infected cells in vivo, has a biological function that is not due to contaminating pathogen-associated molecules. 相似文献

Heat shock protein 10 inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammatory mediator production 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13

Heat shock protein 10 (Hsp10) and heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60) were originally described as essential mitochondrial proteins involved in protein folding. However, both proteins have also been shown to have a number of extracellular immunomodulatory activities. Here we show that purified recombinant human Hsp10 incubated with cells in vitro reduced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nuclear factor-kappaB activation and secretion of several inflammatory mediators from RAW264.7 cells, murine macrophages, and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Induction of tolerance by contaminating LPS was formally excluded as being responsible for Hsp10 activity. Treatment of mice with Hsp10 before endotoxin challenge resulted in the reduction of serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha and RANTES (regulated upon activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) levels and an elevation of serum interleukin-10 levels. Hsp10 treatment also delayed mortality in a murine graft-versus-host disease model, where gut-derived LPS contributes to pathology. We were unable to confirm previous reports that Hsp10 has tumor growth factor properties and suggest that Hsp10 exerts anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting Toll-like receptor signaling possibly by interacting with extracellular Hsp60. 相似文献

Baculoviruses have gained popularity as pest control agents and for protein production in insect systems. These viruses are also becoming popular for gene expression, tissue engineering and gene therapy in mammalian systems. Baculovirus infection triggers a heat shock response, and this response is crucial for its successful infection of host insect cells. However, the viral protein(s) or factor(s) that trigger this response are not yet clear. Previously, we revealed that IE2-an early gene product of the baculovirus-could form unique nuclear bodies for the strong trans-activation of various promoters in mammalian cells. Here, we purified IE2 nuclear bodies from Vero E6 cells and investigated the associated proteins by using mass spectrometry. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) were found to be one of the major IE2-associated proteins. Our experiments show that HSPs are greatly induced by IE2 and are crucial for the trans-activation function of IE2. Interestingly, blocking both heat shock protein expression and the proteasome pathway preserved the IE2 protein and its nuclear body structure, and revived its function. These observations reveal that HSPs do not function directly to assist the formation of the nuclear body structure, but may rather protect IE2 from proteasome degradation. Aside from functional studies in mammalian cells, we also show that HSPs were stimulated and required to determine IE2 protein levels, in insect cells infected with baculovirus. Upon inhibiting the expression of heat shock proteins, baculovirus IE2 was substantially suppressed, resulting in a significantly suppressed viral titer. Thus, we demonstrate a unique feature in that IE2 can function in both insect and non-host mammalian cells to stimulate HSPs, which may be associated with IE2 stabilization and lead to the protection of the its strong gene activation function in mammalian cells. On the other hand, during viral infection in insect cells, IE2 could also strongly stimulate HSPs and ultimately affect viral replication. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding human pancreatic procolipase was incorporated into a recombinant baculovirus. Spodoptera frugiperda insect cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus secreted procolipase into the medium, which could be isolated in a single step by immunoaffinity chromatography. The highly purified protein reactivated human pancreatic lipase in a concentration-dependent fashion and was efficiently converted to colipase by limited trypsin digestion. This expression system is suitable for producing amounts of procolipase adequate for biophysical studies. 相似文献

The heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40) family of proteins act as co-chaperones of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) chaperone family, and together they play a vital role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The Type III class of Hsp40s are diverse in terms of both sequence identity and function and have not been extensively characterised. The Trypanosoma brucei parasite is the causative agent of Human African Trypanosomiasis, and possesses an unusually large Hsp40 complement, consisting mostly of Type III Hsp40s. A novel T. brucei Type III Hsp40, Tbj1, was heterologously expressed, purified, and found to exist as a compact monomer in solution. Using polyclonal antibodies to the full-length recombinant protein, Tbj1 was found by Western analysis to be expressed in the T. brucei bloodstream-form. Tbj1 was found to be able to assist two different Hsp70 proteins in the suppression of protein aggregation in vitro, despite being unable to stimulate their ATPase activity. This indicated that while Tbj1 did not possess independent chaperone activity, it potentially functioned as a novel co-chaperone of Hsp70 in T. brucei. 相似文献

In this study, we describe a process for protein expression and purification from plants and insect cells based on the accumulation of recombinant proteins in protein bodies. This technology is using Zera®, which sequence has the capacity to trigger in vivo the formation of dense, non-secretory storage protein body-like organelles derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). With this method, recombinant human growth hormone (hGH) was expressed and purified from protein bodies accumulated in plants (Nicotiana benthamiana) and in insect cells (Spodoptera frugiperda). We found that recombinant Zera-hGH are stored in large quantity inside those proteins bodies and can be easily recovered during a one-step process from plant and insect cell biomass. After solubilization of recombinant protein bodies and cleavage of Zera tag from the fusion protein, active hGH was finally purified by a single chromatography step. These results indicate that recombinant proteins derived from Zera-fusion could provide both an efficient protein production system and eased purification downstream process. 相似文献

Background information. Heat‐inducible Hsp72 is the founding member of the Hsp70 (heat shock proteins of 70 kDa) family of molecular chaperones. It is localized primarily in cytoplasm and nucleus but is also found extracellularly. The source of e‐Hsp72 (extracellular Hsp72) is not precisely identified and may not be the same in every situation. A number of studies demonstrated that e‐Hsp72 plays an important role in cell survival, tumour rejection and immune response. However, currently little is known about regulation of e‐Hsp72 function. In cells, Hsp72 is controlled by co‐chaperones. An abundant co‐chaperone, HspBP1 (Hsp72‐binding protein 1) was found extracellularly in the serum. In the present study we analysed the secretion and function of e‐HspBP1 (extracellular HspBP1). Results. A431 human squamous carcinoma cells accumulated Hsp72 and HspBP1 in chromogranin A‐positive granules following heat stress or in the presence of U73122, an inhibitor of phospholipase C. Following these treatments, A431 cells also increased the secretion of both proteins into the culture medium. The secreted e‐Hsp72 and e‐HspBP1 were co‐immunoprecipitated from the conditioned medium. Purified recombinant HspBP1 augmented e‐Hsp72‐mediated phosphorylation of EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and its down‐stream targets, ERK1 (extracellular signal‐regulated kinase 1) and ERK2 in a concentration‐dependent manner. Finally, a HspBP1 N‐terminal domain deletion mutant and boiled recombinant HspBP1 did not affect the e‐Hsp72‐mediated activity. Conclusions. Heat stress and PLC (phospholipase C) inhibition result in the enhanced secretion of both Hsp72 and HspBP1. In an extracellular environment, the two chaperones interact both physically and functionally, leading to the activation of th EGFR—ERK1/2 signalling pathway. However, the magnitude of EGFR activation depends on the e‐HspBP1/e‐Hsp72 ratio in the medium. Extracellular chaperone‐mediated activation of EGFR can provide a survival advantage to cells under heat shock and other stresses. 相似文献

We examined the feasibility of high-level production of recombinant human prolactin, a multifunctional protein hormone, in insect cells using a baculovirus expression system. The human prolactin cDNA with and without the secretory signal sequence was cloned into pFastBac1 baculovirus vector under the control of polyhedrin promoter. Prolactin was produced upon infection of either Sf9 or High-Five cells with the recombinant baculovirus containing the human prolactin cDNA. The production of recombinant prolactin varied from 20 to 40 mg/L of monolayer culture, depending on the cell types. The prolactin polypeptide with its own secretory signal was secreted into the medium. N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of the recombinant polypeptide purified from the culture medium indicated that the protein was processed similar to human pituitary prolactin. Carbohydrate analysis of the purified protein indicated that a fraction of the recombinant prolactin made in insect cells appeared to be glycosylated. Also, both secreted and nonsecreted forms of the recombinant prolactin in insect cells were biologically equivalent to the native human prolactin (pituitary derived) in the Nb2 lymphoma cell proliferation assay. 相似文献

Heat shock proteins (Hsp) 60 and 70 have been intensively studied for their ability to activate innate immunity. Heat shock proteins had been shown to induce the activation of dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells. However, the possible contamination of endotoxin in heat shock protein preparations makes their function as an activator of immune system ambiguous. Here, we examined the ability of bacterial Hsp60 and Hsp70 to activate Jurkat T cells and primary T cells. We found that Burkholderia pseudomallei Hsp70 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Hsp70 could costimulate Jurkat T cells to make IL-2 and signal through TLR5. This costimulatory activity is not due to endotoxin or contaminants signaling via TLR2 nor TLR4. However, recombinant Hsp70 expressed in Escherichia coli DeltafliC strain completely lost its ability to costimulate T cells. Thus, the activation of T cells by recombinant Hsp70 is ascribed to flagellin contamination. 相似文献

The influence of a mild heat shock on the fate of the insulin-receptor complex was studied in cultured fetal rat hepatocytes whose insulin glycogenic response is sensitive to heat [Zachayus and Plas (1995): J Cell Physiol 162:330–340]. After exposure from 15 min to 2 hr at 42.5°C, the amount of 125I-insulin associated with cells at 37°C was progressively decreased (by 35% after 1 hr), while the release of 125I-insulin degradation products into the medium was also inhibited (by 75%), more than expected from the decrease in insulin binding. Heat shock did not affect the insulin-induced internalization of cell surface insulin receptors but progressively suppressed the recycling at 37°C of receptors previously internalized at 42.5°C in the presence of insulin. When compared to the inhibitory effects of chloroquine on insulin degradation and insulin receptor recycling, which were immediate (within 15 min), those of heat shock developed within 1 hr of heating. The protein level of insulin receptors was not modified after heat shock and during recovery at 37°C, while that of Hsp72/73 exhibited a transitory accumulation inversely correlated with variations in insulin binding, as assayed by Western immunoblotting from whole cell extracts. Coimmunoprecipitation experiments revealed a heat shock-stimulated association of Hsp72/73 with the insulin receptor. Affinity labeling showed an interaction between 125I-insulin and Hsp72/73 in control cells, which was inhibited by heat shock. These results suggest that increased Hsp72/73 synthesis interfered with insulin degradation and prevented the recycling of the insulin receptor and its further thermal damage via a possible chaperone-like action in fetal hepatocytes submitted to heat stress. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Infection of insect cells with baculovirus expression constructs is commonly used to produce recombinant proteins that require
post-translational modifications for their activity, such as mammalian proteins. However, technical restraints limit the capacity
of insect cell-based culture systems to be scaled up to produce the large amounts of recombinant protein required for human
pharmaceuticals. In this study, we designed an automated insect rearing system and whole insect baculovirus expression system
(PERLXpress™) for the expression and purification of recombinant proteins on a large scale. As a test model, we produced a
recombinant mouse anti-botulinum antibody fragment (Fab) in Trichoplusia ni larvae. A recombinant baculovirus co-expressing the Fab heavy and light chains together with N-terminal sequences from the
silkworm hormone bombyxin, to direct proteins into the secretory pathway, was constructed. Fifth instar larvae were reared
and infected orally with recombinant (pre- occluded) baculovirus using the automated system and harvested approximately after
4 days. The total yield of recombinant Fab was 1.1 g/kg of larvae, resulting in 127 mg of pure Fab in one production run.
The Fab was purified to homogeneity using immobilized metal affinity chromatography, gel filtration, and anion exchange chromatography.
The identity of the purified protein was verified by Western blots and size-exclusion chromatography. Purified recombinant
Fab was used to detect botulinum toxin in ELISA experiments, demonstrating that the heavy and light chains were properly assembled
and folded into functional heterodimers. We believe that this is the first demonstration of the expression of a recombinant
antibody in whole insect larvae. Our results demonstrate that a baculovirus-whole larvae expression system can be used to
express functionally active recombinant Fab fragments. As the PERLXpress™ system is an automated and linearly scalable technology,
it represents an attractive alternative to insect cell culture for the production of large amounts of human pharmaceuticals. 相似文献

We have recently reported that transformation of murine NIH 3T3 cells by v-fos oncogene interfered with Hsp70 and Hsp25 accumulation after heat shock. Here, we have investigated the effect mediated by other oncogenes on the accumulation of these stress proteins. We report that T-antigen transformation of NIH 3T3 cells delayed and reduced the accumulation of Hsp25 after heat shock and decreased the heat-mediated phosphorylation of this protein. This decreased level of Hsp25 correlated with a reduced accumulation of the corresponding mRNA and was related to T-antigen level. In contrast, T-antigen had no effect on the expression of the major stress protein Hsp70 nor did it interfere with the level of Hsp90 or Hsp60. We report also that v-src or Ha-ras oncogenes delayed Hsp25 accumulation after heat shock but that only v-src reduced the heat-induced phosphorylation of this protein. v-src, but not Ha-ras, interfered with Hsp70 expression and none of these oncogenes had an effect on Hsp60 or Hsp90 levels. Taken together, these observations suggest that an altered accumulation of Hsp25 after heat shock is a common characteristic of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts transformed by different oncogenes. 相似文献

The baculovirus/insect cell system is widely used for recombinant protein production, but it is suboptimal for recombinant glycoprotein production because it does not provide sialylation, which is an essential feature of many glycoprotein biologics. This problem has been addressed by metabolic engineering, which has extended endogenous insect cell N-glycosylation pathways and enabled glycoprotein sialylation by baculovirus/insect cell systems. However, further improvement is needed because even the most extensively engineered baculovirus/insect cell systems require media supplementation with N-acetylmannosamine, an expensive sialic acid precursor, for efficient recombinant glycoprotein sialylation. Our solution to this problem focused on E. coli N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate 2′-epimerase (GNPE), which normally functions in bacterial sialic acid degradation. Considering that insect cells have the product, but not the substrate for this enzyme, we hypothesized that GNPE might drive the reverse reaction in these cells, thereby initiating sialic acid biosynthesis in the absence of media supplementation. We tested this hypothesis by isolating transgenic insect cells expressing E. coli GNPE together with a suite of mammalian genes needed for N-glycoprotein sialylation. Various assays showed that these cells efficiently produced sialic acid, CMP-sialic acid, and sialylated recombinant N-glycoproteins even in growth media without N-acetylmannosamine. Thus, this study demonstrated that a eukaryotic recombinant protein production platform can be glycoengineered with a bacterial gene, that a bacterial enzyme which normally functions in sialic acid degradation can be used to initiate sialic acid biosynthesis, and that insect cells expressing this enzyme can produce sialylated N-glycoproteins without N-acetylmannosamine supplementation, which will reduce production costs in glycoengineered baculovirus/insect cell systems. 相似文献

Yeast prion [PSI+] is a self-perpetuating amyloid of the translational termination factor Sup35. Although [PSI+] propagation is modulated by heat shock proteins (Hsps), high temperature was previously reported to have little or no effect on [PSI+]. Our results show that short-term exposure of exponentially growing yeast culture to mild heat shock, followed by immediate resumption of growth, leads to [PSI+] destabilization, sometimes persisting for several cell divisions after heat shock. Prion loss occurring in the first division after heat shock is preferentially detected in a daughter cell, indicating the impairment of prion segregation that results in asymmetric prion distribution between a mother cell and a bud. Longer heat shock or prolonged incubation in the absence of nutrients after heat shock led to [PSI+] recovery. Both prion destabilization and recovery during heat shock depend on protein synthesis. Maximal prion destabilization coincides with maximal imbalance between Hsp104 and other Hsps such as Hsp70-Ssa. Deletions of individual SSA genes increase prion destabilization and/or counteract recovery. The dynamics of prion aggregation during destabilization and recovery are consistent with the notion that efficient prion fragmentation and segregation require a proper balance between Hsp104 and other (e.g., Hsp70-Ssa) chaperones. In contrast to heat shock, [PSI+] destabilization by osmotic stressors does not always depend on cell proliferation and/or protein synthesis, indicating that different stresses may impact the prion via different mechanisms. Our data demonstrate that heat stress causes asymmetric prion distribution in a cell division and confirm that the effects of Hsps on prions are physiologically relevant. 相似文献

A Brassica napus cDNA encoding the 90 kDa heat shock protein, hsp90, was modified to add 6 histidines at the C-terminus and expressed in insect cells to prepare a recombinant histidine-tagged hsp90. The recombinant protein was purified over Ni2+-NTA agarose columns and its identity was confirmed by Western blotting, using a plant hsp90-specific antiserum. Incubation of purified hsp90 with [-32P] ATP in the presence of Mn2+ resulted in its autophosphorylation on serine residues. The purified hsp90 could also phosphorylate other protein substrates such as histones and casein in the presence of Mn2+. Analysis of phosphorylated casein revealed that serine residues are phosphorylated by hsp90. This is the first demonstration that a cytosolic hsp90 homolog can phosphorylate other protein substrates. 相似文献

The baculovirus–insect cell expression system is widely used to produce recombinant proteins for various biomedical applications. Our previous study demonstrated that EpCAM, a colorectal cancer vaccine candidate protein, can be expressed in the baculovirus–insect cell expression system. However, its functionality (the ability to elicit an immune response), which is important for its possible use as a colorectal cancer vaccine for immunotherapy, still needed to be confirmed. In this study, we examined the ability of recombinant EpCAM to induce maturation of immature dendritic cells (DCs) derived from CD34+ cells isolated from human umbilical cord blood. We demonstrated that EpCAM induces the expression of four DC maturation markers: CD80, CD83, CD86 and MHC II. These results suggest that EpCAM produced in the baculovirus–insect cell expression system is functional in terms of its ability to trigger maturation of human DCs. 相似文献
