Expression and purification of the BmK M1 neurotoxin from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch

The gene encoding a neurotoxin (BmK M1) from the scorpion Buthus martensii Karsch was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a high level with the alcohol dehydrogenase promoter. SDS-PAGE of the culture confirmed expression and showed secretion into medium from yeast. Recombinant BmK M1 was purified rapidly and efficiently by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography to homogeneity, produced a single band on tricine-SDS-PAGE, and processed the homologous N-terminus. Amino acid analysis and N-terminal sequencing demonstrated that the recombinant toxin was processed correctly from the alpha-mating factor leader sequence and was chemically identical to the native form. The expressed recombinant BmK M1 was toxic for mice, which indicated that it was biologically active. Quantitative estimation showed that recombinant BmK M1 had an LD(50) similar to that of the native toxin.     

Expression of Chicken Interleukin-2 in Insect Cells

Full-length chicken interleukin-2 (ChIL-2) protein was successfully expressed using the recombinant baculovirus/Sf9 insect cell system. The expressed protein was soluble and reached approximately 12 microg/ml. Similarly to native ChIL-2, baculovirus expressed ChIL-2 revealed two main bands corresponding to molecular masses of 22 and 20 kD as detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Treatment of the expressed protein with N-endoglycosidase F for 2 h caused the complete disappearance of the 22 kD band, while the 20 kD band (which is close to the molecular weight predicted from the cloned cDNA sequence) remained unchanged. Together with results on native ChIL-2, it can be concluded that ChIL-2 is an N-glycosylated protein.     

The pro-sequence facilitates folding of human nerve growth factor from Escherichia coli inclusion bodies.

Nerve growth factor (beta-NGF), a neurotrophin required for the development and survival of specific neuronal populations, is translated as a prepro-protein in vivo. While the presequence mediates translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum, the function of the pro-peptide is so far unknown. As the pro-sequences of several proteins are known to promote folding of the mature part, the renaturation behaviour of recombinant human beta-NGF pro-protein was compared to that of the mature form. Expression of rh-pro-NGF in Escherichia coli led to the formation of inclusion bodies (IBs). The presence of the covalently attached pro-sequence significantly increased the yield and rate of refolding with concomitant disulfide bond formation when compared to the in vitro refolding of mature NGF (rh-NGF). Physicochemical characterization revealed that rh-pro-NGF is a dimer. The pro-peptide could be removed by limited proteolysis with trypsin yielding biologically active, mature rh-NGF. Furthermore, rh-pro-NGF exhibited biological activity in the same concentration range as rh-NGF.     

Antitumor, antiviral and natural killer-inducing activities of human recombinant interferon-alpha in the guinea pig

It was found that human recombinant interferon-alpha (Hu rIFN-alpha) was biologically active in the guinea pig. Namely, intratumor injection of either Hu rIFN-alpha A or A/D regressed tumors and prevented metastasis of guinea-pig line 10 tumor. These rIFNs augmented splenic natural killer activity of the guinea pig and reduced the cytopathic effect of virus on guinea-pig cells. Hu IFN-gamma showed no such activity.     

COMPARISON OF THE CYTOPLASMIC AND PERIPLASMIC PRODUCTION OF RETEPLASE IN Escherichia coli

Reteplase is the recombinant type of tissue plasminogen activator variant. In this study, preplasmic and cytoplasmic (as inclusion body: IBs) production and activity of recombinant reteplase in E. coli were investigated and compared using a pET system (pET22b and pET15b). The cDNA of reteplase was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, sequenced, inserted into the vector pET 22b and pET15b, and expressed using isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The recombinant plasmid was expressed in the form of inclusion body in pET 15b and in periplasmic space in pET22b. The obtained results of inclusion body extraction from recombinant pET22b (rpET22b) and recombinant pET15b (rpET15b) plasmids using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed a band of ～39 kD. However, the obtained results of periplasmic space extraction from rpET22b plasmid showed a very weak band, while cytoplasmic expression of reteplase (pET15b) produced a strong protein band confirmed with Western blotting. Consequently, our results demonstrated that the cytoplasmic expression system is efficient for the production of reteplase protein in prokaryote systems and a high amount of reteplase was obtained from the expressed proteins in the form of IBs. The obtained activity of rpET15b plasmid showed a higher enzyme absorbance in comparison to rpET22b plasmid. This suggests rpET15b as an appropriate candidate for reteplase production.
