The two envelope glycoproteins of rubella virus (RV), El of 58 kDa and E2 of 42–47 kDa, were individually expressed in lepidopteran Spodoptera frugiperda as well as in Trichoplusia ni insect cells using baculovirus vectors. The authentic signal sequences of E1 and E2 were replaced with the honeybee melittin signal sequence, allowing efficient entrance into the secretory pathway of the insect cell. In addition, the hydrophobic transmembrane anchors at the carboxyl termini of E1 and E2 proteins were removed to enable secretion rather than maintenance in the cellular membranes. Synthesis of the recombinant proteins in the absence and presence of tunicamycin revealed that both E1 and E2 were glycosylated with apparent molecular weights of 52 kDa and 37 kDa, respectively. Recombinant E2 appeared to be partially secreted, whereas E1 was essentially found inside the infected insect cell. The E1 protein was produced in large scale using a 10−1 bioreactor and serum-free medium (SFM). Purification of the recombinant protein product was performed from cytoplasmic extracts by ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by Concanavalin A affinity chromatography. This type of purified recombinant viral glycoproteins may be useful not only in diagnostic medicine or for immunization, but should enable studies designed to solve the structure of the virus particle. 相似文献

The use of (R)-specific enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase (PhaJ) provides a powerful tool for polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthesis from fatty acids or plant oils in recombinant bacteria. PhaJ provides monomer units for PHA synthesis from the fatty acid ß-oxidation cycle. Previously, two phaJ genes (phaJ1Pa and phaJ2Pa) were identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This report identifies two new phaJ genes (phaJ3Pa and phaJ4Pa) in P. aeruginosa through a genomic database search. The abilities of the four PhaJPa proteins and the (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-acyl carrier protein [(R)-3HA-ACP] dehydrases, FabAPa and FabZPa, to supply monomers from enoyl-CoA substrates for PHA synthesis were determined. The presence of either PhaJ1Pa or PhaJ4Pa in recombinant Escherichia coli led to the high levels of PHA accumulation (as high as 36–41 wt.% in dry cells) consisting of mainly short- (C4–C6) and medium-chain-length (C6–C10) 3HA units, respectively. Furthermore, detailed characterizations of PhaJ1Pa and PhaJ4Pa were performed using purified samples. Kinetic analysis revealed that only PhaJ4Pa exhibits almost constant maximum reaction rates (Vmax) irrespective of the chain length of the substrates. The assay for stereospecific hydration revealed that, unlike PhaJ1Pa, PhaJ4Pa has relatively low (R)-specificity. These hydratases may be very useful as monomer-suppliers for the synthesis of designed PHAs in recombinant bacteria. 相似文献

Subsites −3 and −7 in the active site of β-cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (β-CGTase) from alkalophilic Bacillus firmus var. alkalophilus were modified through site-directed mutagenesis to obtain novel mutant CGTases. Four mutant CGTases, H59Q, Y96M, 90-PPI-92, and Δ(154–160) were constructed and produced using a recombinant E. coli with a secretive expression system extracellularly. The secreted mutant β-CGTases were purified by one-step affinity adsorption chromatography using a β-cyclodextrin (CD) polymer as an adsorbent to nearly homogeneous purity. The catalytic activities were modified significantly compared to the wild-type. In particular, the Y96M and Δ(154–160) mutants increased cyclization activity around 1.5 times without any significant reduction of coupling and hydrolyzing activities. Meanwhile, the Y96M and Δ(154–160) mutants exhibited a much higher conversion yield into CDs from 28.6 to 39% without any recognizable change in the CD ratio. The conversion yield into linear maltooligosaccharides was also significantly reduced. The catalytic functions of subsites −3 and −7 in the active site of β-CGTase would appear to be related to the overall productivity of CDs rather than the product specificity. 相似文献

Vaccination of cattle against the haemoprotozoun parasite, Babesia bovis, with the recombinant antigen 11C5 resulted in 9 of 15 cattle being protected against challenge infection. The cellular immune responses of protected and unprotected cattle were compared in order to identify differences in response. No differences were observed in the pattern of change in various blood leukocyte populations throughout challenge infection. FACScan analysis revealed an increase in the proportion of cells bearing the CD2 marker in both protected and unprotected cattle over the course of infection. There were no observable differences in the frequency of various cell-surface markers between the unprotected and protected cattle. During the period of patent parasitaemia, in vitro cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from protected cattle produced significantly more TNF- (P < 0.05) than cultures from unprotected cattle. TNF- concentrations remained at pre-challenge levels until day 10, when levels in the unvaccinated control and vaccinated/unprotected animals dropped. By peak parasitaemia, TNF- production in vitro was siguificantly greater (P < 0.05) in cultures of PBMCs from protected cattle. Interferon production showed an initial peak at day 5 in all cattle, followed by a decrease and a second peak at days 10–13 in protected cattle only, which coincided with resolution of the infection. 相似文献

Three C terminal His6-tagged recombinant microbial CMP–sialic acid synthetases [EC 2.7.7.43] cloned from Neisseria meningitidis group B, Streptococcus agalactiae serotype V, and Escherichia coli K1, respectively, were evaluated for their ability in the synthesis of CMP–sialic acid derivatives in a one-pot two-enzyme system. In this system, N-acetylmannosamine or mannose analogs were condensed with pyruvate, catalyzed by a recombinant sialic acid aldolase [EC 4.1.3.3] cloned from E. coli K12 to provide sialic acid analogs as substrates for the CMP–sialic acid synthetases. The substrate flexibility and the reaction efficiency of the three recombinant CMP–sialic acid synthetases were compared, first by qualitative screening using thin layer chromatography, and then by quantitative analysis using high performance liquid chromatography. The N. meningitidis synthetase was shown to have the highest expression level, the most flexible substrate specificity, and the highest catalytic efficiency among the three synthetases. Finally, eight sugar nucleotides, including cytidine 5′-monophosphate N-acetylneuraminic acid (CMP–Neu5Ac) and its derivatives with substitutions at carbon-5, carbon-8, or carbon-9 of Neu5Ac, were synthesized in a preparative (100–200 mg) scale from their 5- or 6-carbon sugar precursors using the N. meningitidis synthetase and the aldolase. 相似文献

Although much has been learned about Hepatitis C virus (HCV), research progress has been hindered by the lack of a suitable
cell culture system supporting its replication. Recently, a unique HCV strain JFH1 has been found to replicate efficiently
in cell culture with production of infectious HCV (HCVcc). Baculovirus vectors were found to be efficient delivery vehicles
and a HBV recombinant baculovirus/HepG2 system efficiently delivered the HBV genome into HepG2 resulting in HBV replication.
In this study, we developed a recombinant baculovirus expression system to generate infectious HCV particles in hepatoma cell
line Huh7-lunetT7 by using cDNA from the HCV JFH1 genotype. Results show that HCV positive, negative RNA strands and proteins
were produced in this system. Furthermore, HCV particles were produced and secreted into the culture medium. Sucrose density
gradient centrifugation of the culture medium revealed co-localization of HCV RNA and structural proteins in the fraction
with a density of 1.08–1.13 g/ml. Electron microscopy (EM) showed viral particles approximately 55 nm in diameter, which could
be recognized by anti-HCV E2 antibodies. Real-time RT-PCR detected that the level of HCV vRNA in the supernatant was 107 copies/ml at 72 h post-transduction (hpt). In addition, the JFH1 virus produced by the recombinant baculovirus was confirmed
to be infectious in vitro. In summary, this system provides a novel tool not only for the analysis of the replication and
pathogenesis of HCV but also to screen for potential therapeutic targets. 相似文献

A superior novel recombinant strain, E. coli BL21(DE3)/pETNHM, containing the start codon mutation of the subunit, was constructed and selected as an overexpression and high efficient mutation platform for the genetic manipulation of the nitrile hydratase (NHase). Under optimal conditions, the specific activity of the recombinant strain reached as high as 452 U/mg dry cell. Enzymatic characteristics studies showed that the reaction activation energy of the recombinant NHaseM was 24.4 ± 0.5 kJ/mol, the suited pH range for catalysis was 5.5–7.5, and the Km value was 4.34 g/L (82 mM). To assess the feasibility of the NHase improvement by protein rational design using this E. coli, site-directed mutagenesis of S122A, S122C, S122D and βW47E of the NHaseM were carried out. The NHaseM (S122A) and NHaseM (S122D) mutants were entirely inactive due to the charge change of the side-chain group. The product tolerance of the NHaseM (S122C) mutant was enhanced while its activity decreased by 30%. The thermo-stability of the NHaseM (βW47E) mutant was significantly strengthened, while its activity reduced by nearly 50%. These results confirmed that the specific activity of the mutant NHase expressed by the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)/pETNHM can reasonably change with and without mutations. Therefore, this recombinant E. coli can be efficiently and confidently used for the further rational/random evolution of the NHase to simultaneously improve the activity, thermo-stability and product tolerance of the target NHase. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence encoding for an insecticidal peptide derived from the Canavalia ensiformis urease gene jbureII (AF 468788), was cloned and expressed in the pET101/Escherichia coli expression system. Bacterial cultivation in shaker with lactose as inducer produced 1.26 μg of recombinant peptide/mg protein, after 8 h of growth. The plasmid stability and the expression of the recombinant peptide were studied in bioreactor. Expression of the recombinant peptide was strongly affected by pH of cultures, with a decrease of more than 50% when acidification was freely allowed. Likewise, peptide production and plasmid stability were shown to be affected by aeration and agitation speed, both decreasing for higher values of oxygen mass transfer rates. Despite these difficulties, in bioreactor cultures carried out with controlled pH, low oxygen mass transfer rates and using lactose as inducer, we were able to achieve a total peptide production of 7.14 μg/mg protein, which represents approximately 2% of total cell protein. Bioassays were carried out using the purified peptide on insect models. The peptide fed to Dysdercus peruvianus nymphs produced 100% mortality after 11 days, deaths starting with a lag phase of 3–4 days, confirming that the bioreactor-produced peptide retained its biological activity. 相似文献

Estrogenic 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of estrogens. We overproduced human placental estrogenic 17β-HSD using a baculovirus expression system for the study of the enzyme mechanism. A cDNA encoding the entire open reading frame of human 17β-HSD was inserted into the genome of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus and expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) insect cells. Metabolic labeling and Western blot analysis using polyclonal antibodies raised against native human 17β-HSD indicated that a molecule with an apparent mass of 35 kDa was maximally expressed 60 h after infection. At that time interval, intracellular 17β-HSD activity reached 0.26 U/mg of protein in crude homogenate, about 70 times the level measured in human placenta. Purification of recombinant 17β-HSD was achieved by a single affinity fast liquid protein chromatography step yielding 24 mg of purified 17β-HSD protein per liter of suspension culture, with a specific activity of about 8 μmol/min/mg of protein for conversion of estradiol into estrone, at pH 9.2. In addition, the recombinant protein purified from infected Sf9 cells was assembled as a dimer with molecular mass and specific activity identical to those of the enzyme purified directly from placenta. The present data show that the baculovirus expression system can provide active 17β-HSD that is functionally identical to its natural counterpart and easy to purify in quantities suitable for its physico-chemical studies. 相似文献

17α-羟基黄体酮(17α-OH-PROG)是甾体激素类药物的关键中间体,其生物合成主要由细胞色素单加氧酶(CYP17)催化生成。在此过程中,细胞色素 P450还原酶(cytochrome P450 reductase,CPR)作为细胞色素P450 酶电子传递链的重要组成部分,直接影响CYP17的催化效率。为研究不同来源CPR与17α-羟化酶的适配性,首先以人源17α-羟化酶作为研究对象,构建了表达质粒pPIC3.5k-hCYP17,获得了重组毕赤酵母菌株。其次筛选获得3种不同来源CPR,构建了表达质粒 pPICZX-CPR,获得17α-羟化酶与CPR共表达菌株,并在毕赤酵母中进行转化实验,对转化产物进行薄层色谱(TLC)和高效液相色谱(HPLC)分析。结果显示,重组菌株具有17α-羟化酶活性,能够催化黄体酮生成目标产物17α-OH-PROG 以及副产物16α-羟基黄体酮(16α-OH-PROG)。不同来源的CPR与17α-羟化酶共表达与仅表达17α-羟化酶的产率相比均有所提高,其中hCPR-CYP17共表达菌株表现出最高的转化水平,17α-OH-PROG产率提高42%。上述结果表明:17α-羟化酶基因与CPR共表达能够提高其黄体酮17α-羟基化水平。为甾体黄体酮17α-羟基化的生物催化研究提供思路,对甾体药物的工业生产具有重要意义。 相似文献

A recombinant Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) strain showing higher virulence against Trichoplusia ni larvae than the wild-type virus was developed. The 'enhancin' (VEF) gene of T. ni granulovirus (TnGV) and the AcMNPV polyhedrin gene were cloned into the baculovirus transfer vector pAcUW31. This plasmid and AcMNPV BacPAK6 DNA were co-transfected into the BTI-Tn5B1-4 cell line. A recombinant AcMNPV strain (BacVEFPol) was purified, amplified, and bioassayed against T. ni first instar larvae. Its estimated LC50 (0.184 OB/mm2) was 2.18 times lower than the LC50 estimated for the wild-type AcMNPV (0.402 OB/mm2). Likewise, an LT50 of 67.7 h was estimated for the recombinant AcMNPV strain while the LT50 of wild-type AcMNPV was estimated at 81.9 h. This indicates a 17.4% reduction of the time required to kill the larvae. The higher virulence of the recombinant strain, evidenced by its LC50 and LT50 values being lower than those of the wild-type strain, indicates that the VEF protein is expressed properly and may be occluded in the OBs. 相似文献

Spore production of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae was studied in a novel whey-based culture media. Spore yield and viability were determined for two B. bassiana (GHA-726 and CA-603) and two M. anisopliae (CA-1 and IMI 330189) isolates following production in three whey-based systems: solid, liquid, and a diphasic production system. Our study indicated that whey permeate can be used effectively for production of spores of entomopathogenic fungi. However, spore yield and viability were significantly influenced by fungal isolate, whey concentration, and the type of production process used. Under the conditions defined in the present study, spore yields ranging from 1.3 × 109–10 × 1011 spores l−1 of whey medium could be obtained depending on the strain and production process used. Our study revealed that spores produced by all strains in whey-based solid and liquid media showed between 73–99 % viability; germination rates were comparable with those obtained using the standard SDA medium. In the two-stage production process, the viabilities of conidia produced by GHA-726, CA-603, and CA-1 were 35–86, 32–98, and 6–29 %, respectively; viability was correlated with whey concentration and isolates. Whey permeate can be used as a growth substrate for mass production of biocontrol fungi. We hypothesize that spore yield and viability could be improved by careful selection of whey content in the medium, incorporation of critical additives and optimization of culture conditions. 相似文献

Quantitative carotenoid analysis of a natural bloom of Euglena sanguinea Ehrenberg revealed the presence of β,β-carotene (1% of total carotenoids), monoesters of adonirubin (3%), diesters of (3S, 3′R)-adonixanthin (13%), diesters of (3S, 3′S)-astaxanthin (75%), 19-monoester of (3R, 3′R, 6R)-loroxanthin (1%), (3R, 3′R)-diatoxanthin (6%), diadinoxanthin (1%) and neoxanthin (traces). The carotenoid content amounted to 0.7% of the dry wt. Methods employed included TLC, HPLC, VIS, MS, CD and H NMR (400 and 500 MHz). The high content of ketocarotenoids is characteristic of secondary carotenoids produced under stressed growth conditions. Previously secondary carotenoids were associated with green algae (Chlorophyceae), but have now been encountered in Euglenophyceae. 相似文献

We have investigated the genotoxic effects of 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-nitrosourea (HENU). We have chosen this agent because of its demonstrated ability to produce N7-(2-hydroxyethyl) guanine (N7-HOEtG) and O6-(2-hydroxyethyl) 2′-deoxyguanosine (O6-HOEtdG); two of the DNA alkylation products produced by 1,3-bis (2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU). For these studies, we have used the Big Blue Rat-2 cell line that contains a lambda/lacI shuttle vector. Treatment of these cells with HENU produced a dose dependent increase in the levels of N7-HOEtG and O6-HOEtdG as quantified by HPLC with electrochemical detection. Treatment of Big Blue Rat-2 cells with either 0, 1 or 5 mM HENU resulted in mutation frequencies of 7.2±2.2×10−5, 45.2±2.9×10−5 and 120.3±24.4×10−5, respectively. Comparison of the mutation frequencies demonstrates that 1 and 5 mM HENU treatments have increased the mutation frequency by 6- and 16-fold, respectively. This increase in mutation frequency was statistically significant (P<0.001). Sequence analysis of HENU-induced mutations have revealed primarily G:C→A:T transitions (52%) and a significant number of A:T→T:A transversions (16%). We propose that the observed G:C→A:T transitions are produced by the DNA alkylation product O6-HOEtdG. These results suggest that the formation of O6-HOEtdG by BCNU treatment contributes to its observed mutagenic properties. 相似文献
