噬菌体T7溶菌酶工程菌的构建

将噬菌体T7溶菌酶基因克隆到含有可诱导性启动子LacUV 5的表达载体pARl206中。在没有诱导剂存在情况下,LacUV 5启动子的转录受到抑制。当带有重组质粒的转化菌生长到适当浓度,向培养液中加入0．4mmo1／L IPTG,LacUV 5启动子受到诱导,从而使插入的基因高水平表达,并积累大量具有生物活性的溶菌酶。噬菌体T 7溶菌酶在大肠杆菌中表达的产量平均约22mg／L。

Screening of T7 phage displayed Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) antenna cDNA library against chemosensory protein

Recent studies have shown that chemosensory proteins (CSPs) were involved in diverse life activities such as insect feeding, development, mating, immune regulation, as well as other important circadian rhythms, etc. To screen the proteins involved in the BdorCSP-related physiological activity, a cDNA library of the Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) antenna expressed on the surface of T7 phage was screened against BdorCSP. After four rounds of screening, ELISA-positive samples of selected phages were sequenced and identified as protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), trypsin-like serine protease (Ser), TakeOut (TO), and a new protein by GenBank blast, respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR results showed that the expression levels of Ser, TO, and the new protein were the highest in antenna, sharing similar expression pattern with BdorCSP. These results reveal that these proteins might be involved in the BdorCSP-related physiological or metabolic activities. This work paves a new way for exploring the function of CSPs.     

Screening of substrate peptide sequences for tissue-type transglutaminase (TGase 2) using T7 phage cDNA library

Transglutaminase (TGase) is a family of enzymes that catalyzes cross-linking reaction between glutamine- and lysine residue of substrate proteins in several mammalian biological events. Substrate proteins for TGase and their physiological relevance have been still in research, continuously expanding. In this study, we have established a novel screening system that enables identification of cDNA sequence encoding favorable primary structure as a substrate for tissue-type transglutaminase (TGase 2), a multifunctional and ubiquitously expressing isozyme. By the screening, we identified several T7 phage clones that displayed substrate peptides for TGase 2 as a translated product from human brain cDNA library. Among the selected clones, the C-terminal region of IKAP, IkappaB kinase complex associated protein, appeared as a highly reactive substrate sequence for TGase 2. This system will open possibility of rapid identification of substrate sequences for transglutaminases at a genetic level.     

One step engineering of T7-expression strains for protein production: increasing the host-range of the T7-expression system

The T7-expression system has been very useful for protein expression in Escherichia coli. However, it is often desirable to over-express proteins in species other than E. coli. Here, we constructed an inducible broad-host-range T7-expression transposon, which allows simple one-step construction of T7-expression strains in various species, providing the option to over-express proteins of interest in a broader host-range. This transposon contains the T7 RNA polymerase driven by the lacUV5 promoter, which is repressed by the lac-repressor. Leaky expression is prevented by the presence of T7-lysozyme on this construct. The complete T7-expression system is flanked by mariner transposon repeats of the suicidal R6Kgammaori plasmid, pBT20-Deltabla. Stable integration of the whole system is possible by a one-step selection for a Flp-excisable Gm(R)-marker. We showed the engineering of E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Erwinia carotovora, Salmonella choleraesuis, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, and Chromobacterium violaceum strains with this construct and demonstrated the expression of the Burkholderia pseudomallei Asd protein in these hosts, by induction with isopropyl-beta-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG).     

Electrostatic map of T7 DNA: comparative analysis of functional and electrostatic properties of T7 RNA polymerase-specific promoters

The entire T7 bacteriophage genome contains 39937 base pairs (Database NCBI RefSeq N1001604). Here, electrostatic potential distribution around double helical T7 DNA was calculated by Coulomb method using the computer program of Sorokin A.A. (lptolik@gmail.com). Electrostatic profiles of 17 promoters recognized by T7 phage-specific RNA polymerase were analyzed. It was shown that electrostatic profiles of all T7 RNA polymerase-specific promoters can be characterized by distinctive motifs which are specific for each promoter class. Comparative analysis of electrostatic profiles of native T7 promoters of different classes demonstrates that T7 RNA polymerase can differentiate them due to their electrostatic features.     

Identification of C10 biotinylated camptothecin (CPT-10-B) binding peptides using T7 phage display screen on a QCM device

A peptide sequence that can bind to camptothecin (CPT), a natural cytotoxic compound, was screened for using a T7 phage display system combined with a cuvette type quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) device. In this screen, after only 10 min of monitoring of the interaction between injected T7 phage pool with immobilized C10 biotinylated CPT (CPT-10-B) on a gold electrode surface, six different kinds of phage (A–F) were identified as judged by the size of PCR product on agarose gel electrophoresis. Injection of each single phage (A–E) pool individually caused a frequency decrease, suggesting interaction with the immobilized CPT-10-B. In addition, the peptide sequence displayed on phages A–C is consistent with chemical and biological studies of the interaction of CPTs with topoisomerase I (TopI), human E prostanoid receptor third cytoplasmic polypeptide, and a series of esterases. The efficacy of T7 phage display screening for small molecules on QCM devices, target discovery from primary peptide sequence, and application of this strategy to various drug-like small molecules are discussed.
