Introduction of temperature-sensitive helper and donor plasmids into Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression systems

In the baculovirus shuttle vector(bacmid) system, a helper plasmid and a donor plasmid are employed to insert heterologous genes into a cloned baculovirus genome via Tn7 transposition in Escherichia coli. The helper and donor plasmids are usually cotransfected with constructed bacmids into insect cells, which will lead to integration of these plasmids into the viral genome,and hence to the production of defective virions. In this study, to facilitate the preparation of plasmid-free recombinant bacmids, we modified a set of helper and donor plasmids by replacing their replication origins with that of a temperature-sensitive(ts) plasmid, p SIM6. Using the resulting ts helper plasmid p MON7124 ts and the ts donor plasmid p FB1ts-PH-GFP, a recombinant bacmid,b Ac WT-PG(-), was constructed, and the transposition efficiency was found to be 33.1%. The plasmids were then removed by culturing at 37 °C. For b Ac WT-PG(-), the infectious progeny virus titer and the protein expression level under the control of the polyhedrin promoter were similar to those of a bacmid constructed with unmodified helper and donor plasmids. These ts plasmids will be useful for obtaining plasmid-free bacmids for both heterologous protein production and fundamental studies of baculovirus biology.     

重组昆虫杆状病毒构建和筛选技术进展

昆虫杆状病毒作为高效的真核表达载体,现已广泛应用于各种外源目的基因的表达。但由于重组病毒产生的比例很低（通常只有0.1%～1%）,成为制约该系统应用的技术瓶颈。本文概括了近年来发展的重组病毒的构建和筛选方法,主要介绍了杆状病毒的线性化技术和利用大肠杆菌-昆虫细胞穿梭载体构建并筛选重组杆状病毒的技术进展。     

Cell lines used for the selection of recombinant baculovirus

Summary Four insect cell lines were used to isolate two recombinant baculoviruses which had theβ-galactosidase (β-gal) gene for colorimetric assay purposes. Plaque assays were performed using twoTrichoplusia ni cell lines: BTI-TN-5B1-4 and TN-368, and twoSpodoptera frugiperda cell lines: IPLB-SF-21AE and SF9. The number of plaques (occlusion positive and blueβ-gal⁺ recombinants) formed in theTrichoplusia cells was higher than in theSpodoptera cells. The appearance ofAutographa californica NPV polyhedra was also faster in theT. ni cell lines. The effect of cell passage on the plaque formation proved to be critical when two different passages of the SF9 cells were tested. The higher passage produced a lower viral titration. The size and time of appearance of the plaques was also different.

AAV-ITR基因表达微载体是只含有腺相关病毒(Adeno-associated virus,AAV)倒置末端重复序列(Inverted terminal repeats,ITR)、基因表达顺式元件和目的基因,而不含有其他外源DNA序列的双链或单链DNA。本研究利用杆状病毒表达系统,制备得到两种重组杆状病毒Bac-ITR-EGFP和Bac-inrep,并将二者的P3代病毒共同感染昆虫细胞Spodoptera frugiperda(Sf9),抽提小分子量DNA,获得AAV-ITR-EGFP基因表达微载体,2×107的Sf9细胞抽提可以得到100μg AAV-ITR-EGFP基因表达微载体,核酸电泳显示AAV-ITR-EGFP基因表达微载体主要以单体和二聚体的形式存在。将AAV-ITR-EGFP基因表达微载体通过polyethylenimine(PEI)转染HEK 293T细胞,24 h后荧光显微镜观察有EGFP表达,48 h后达到高峰,转化效率达到65%。     

Expression of a foreign gene by cysteine proteinase null recombinant baculovirus

Baculovirus expression vector systems (BEVSs) are broadly used for producing foreign proteins in lepidopteran cells. Most commercial BEVSs are engineered to insert foreign genes into the polyhedrin (polh) locus. They lack the polh gene. These viruses cannot produce occlusion bodies and are inconvenient for per os inoculation of larvae. To avoid this, expression cassettes can be inserted in other parts of the virus genome. The preS2-S gene, coding for the recombinant middle surface antigen of the human hepatitis B virus (M-HBsAg), was expressed from the baculovirus construct rBmNPV-Δv-cath-M-HBsAg, inserting the foreign gene into the v-cath locus of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) so that v-cath was deleted and native polh was retained. Silkworm larvae were infected per os and M-HBsAg was observed to be abundantly produced till very late stages of infection. Infection of larvae with a mixture of the recombinant and wild-type baculoviruses was followed by degradation of the bulk of the produced M-HBsAg as early as 96 h after inoculation.
