The mature gene of gloshedobin, a snake venom thrombin-like enzyme from the snake, Gloydius shedaoensis, was cloned and expressed in strain E. coli BL21(DE3). Having been induced by IPTG, the recombinant gloshedobin was in both soluble and insoluble forms. To avoid inclusion body formation, expression was optimized at 25 °C. Furthermore, a 50% increase in solubilization of the target protein was obtained by adding 0.1 mM Mg2+ to the medium. The purified recombinant gloshedobin gave a 44 kDa band on SDS-PAGE gel. 相似文献

Gloshedobin, a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of Gloydius shedaoensis was expressed as Hsp70 fusion protein from the construct pPIC9K/hsp70-TLE in the yeast Pichia pastoris. By fusing gloshedobin to the C-terminus of Hsp70, an expression level of 44.5 mg Hsp70-gloshedobin per liter of culture was achieved by methanol induction. The fusion protein secreted in the culture medium was conveniently purified by two chromatographic steps: Q-Sepharose FF and Superdex 200. The purified enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 98 kDa according to SDS–PAGE analysis, and exhibited fibrinogenolytic activity that preferentially degraded fibrinogen α-chain. The enzyme also degraded fibrinogen β-chain to a lesser extent, while showing no degradation toward the γ-chain. A fibrinogen clotting activity of 499.8 U/mg was achieved by the enzyme, which is within the range reported for other thrombin-like enzymes. Hsp70-gloshedobin had strong esterase activity toward the chromogenic substrate Nα-p-tosyl-Gly-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide, and this activity was optimal at pH 7.5 and 50 °C, and was completely inhibited by PMSF, but not by EDTA. We concluded that Hsp70 has no effect on the physiochemical and biochemical properties of gloshedobin. Although applying a fusion partner with very big molecular weight is unusual, Hsp70 proved its advantage in soluble expression of gloshedobin without affecting its fibrinogenolytic activity. And this positive result may provide an alternative strategy for the expression of thrombin-like enzymes in microbial system. 相似文献

Expression of gloshedobin,a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of Gloydius shedaoensis,in Escherichia coli 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Gloshedobin, a thrombin-like enzyme from the venom of Gloydius shedaoensis, was expressed in Escherichia coli using expression vector pET-32a(+). The gene was expressed under T7 promotor with a fusion partner of Thx.Tag and a 6xHis.Tag at its 5 terminal. After induction by IPTG for 6 h, the recombinant enzyme was expressed in the cytoplasm. Expression at 25°C gave twice the amount of recombinant gloshedobin in cytoplasm than at 37°C. 相似文献

Snake venom thrombin-like enzymes (SVTLEs) are widely applied in the treatment of thrombotic diseases, however, the molecular mechanism of its inhibition by synthetic and natural proteinaceous inhibitors is not yet understood. Here we investigated effects of protease inhibitors including phenylmethylsulfonil fluoride (PMSF), benzamidine (BMD) and its derivates on the activity of recombinant gloshedobin, a SVTLE from the snake Gloydius shedaoensis. The molecular inhibition mechanism was postulated by separately docking inhibitors into three-dimensional model of gloshedobin using protein C activator from Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix venom (ACC-C, which bear 78% identity with gloshedobin) as template. The analysis indicated that the strongest inhibitor, PMSF, was via a covalent bond with the catalytic Ser195, while other inhibitors showing weaker inhibitory activity were via hydrogen bond with Ser195 or non-catalytic residues. 相似文献

The new bacterial vector pETM60 enables the expression of His-tagged recombinant proteins fused to the C-terminus of NusA through a TEV protease recognition sequence. Three sequences coding for two protein domains (Xklp3A and Tep3Ag) and one membrane-bound viral protein (E8R) could not be expressed in a soluble form in bacteria. Their GST-fusions were mostly soluble but quickly degraded during purification. The same sequences cloned in pETM60 were efficiently purified by metal affinity and recovered soluble after the removal of the fusion partner. The NusA-fused constructs enabled to yield 13-20mg of fusion protein per litre of culture and 2.5-5mg of pure protein per litre of culture. Structural analysis indicated that the purified proteins were monodispersed and correctly folded. NusA has been used to raise antibodies that have been successfully used for Western blot and immunoprecipitation of NusA fusion proteins. 相似文献

l-glutamine (Gln) is an important conditionally necessary amino acid in human body and potential demand in food or medicine
industry is expected. High efficiency of l-Gln production by coupling genetic engineered bacterial glutamine synthetase (GS) with yeast alcoholic fermentation system
has been developed. We report here first the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) fusion technology to the
expression and purification of recombinant Bacillus subtilis GS. In order to obtain GS with high Gln-forming activity, safety and low cost for food and pharmaceutics industry, 0.1% (w/v)
lactose was selected as inducer. The fusion protein was expressed in totally soluble form in E. coli, and expression was verified by SDS–PAGE and western blot analysis. The fusion protein was purified to 90% purity by nickel
nitrilo-triacetic acid (Ni–NTA) resin chromatography with a yield of 625 mg per liter fermentation culture. After the SUMO/GS
fusion protein was cleaved by the SUMO protease, the cleaved sample was reapplied to a Ni–NTA column. Finally, about 121 mg
recombinant GS was obtained from 1 l fermentation culture with no less than 96% purity. The recombinant purified GS showed
great transferase activity (23 U/mg), with 25 U recombinant GS in a 50 ml reaction system, a biosynthesis yield of 27.5 g/l l-Gln was detected by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin-layer chromatography. Thus, the application of SUMO
technology to the expression and purification of GS potentially could be employed for the industrial production of l-Gln. 相似文献

The amino acid l-theanine (γ-glutamylethylamide) has potential important applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries and increased
demand for this compound is expected. It is the major “umami” (good taste) component of tea and its favorable physiological
effects on mammals have been reported. An enzymatic method for the synthesis of l-theanine involving recombinant Escherichia coli γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) has been developed. We report here the application of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)
fusion technology to the expression and purification of recombinant Escherichia coli γ-GGT. In order to obtain γ-GGT with high theanine-forming activity, safety, and low cost for food and pharmaceutics industry,
M9 (consisting of glycerol and inorganic salts) and 0.1% (w/v) lactose were selected as culture medium and inducer, respectively.
The fusion protein was expressed in soluble form in E. coli, and expression was verified by SDS-PAGE and western blot analysis. The fusion protein was purified to 90% purity by nickel–nitrilotriacetic
acid (Ni–NTA) resin chromatography with a yield of 115 mg per liter fermentation culture. After the SUMO/γ-GGT fusion protein
was cleaved by the SUMO protease, the cleaved sample was reapplied to a Ni–NTA column. Finally, about 62 mg recombinant γ-GGT
was obtained from 1 l fermentation culture with no less than 95% purity. The recombinant γ-GGT showed great transpeptidase
activity, with 1500 U of purified recombinant γ-GGT in a 1-l reaction system, a biosynthesis yield of 41 g of l-theanine was detected by paper chromatography or high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Thus, the application of SUMO
technology to the expression and purification of γ-GGT potentially could be employed for the industrial production of l-theanine. 相似文献

Expression of the cationic antimicrobial peptide lactoferricin fused with the anionic peptide in Escherichia coli 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Direct expression of lactoferricin, an antimicrobial peptide, is lethal to Escherichia coli. For the efficient production of lactoferricin in E. coli, we developed an expression system in which the gene for the lysine- and arginine-rich cationic lactoferricin was fused to an anionic peptide gene to neutralize the basic property of lactoferricin, and successfully overexpressed the concatemeric fusion gene in E. coli. The lactoferricin gene was linked to a modified magainin intervening sequence gene by a recombinational polymerase chain reaction, thus producing an acidic peptide–lactoferricin fusion gene. The monomeric acidic peptide–lactoferricin fusion gene was multimerized and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) upon induction with isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside. The expression levels of the fusion peptide reached the maximum at the tetramer, while further increases in the copy number of the fusion gene substantially reduced the peptide expression level. The fusion peptides were isolated and cleaved to generate the separate lactoferricin and acidic peptide. About 60 mg of pure recombinant lactoferricin was obtained from 1 L of E. coli culture. The purified recombinant lactoferricin was found to have a molecular weight similar to that of chemically synthesized lactoferricin. The recombinant lactoferricin showed antimicrobial activity and disrupted bacterial membrane permeability, as the native lactoferricin peptide does. 相似文献

Mouse beta defensin-1 (mBD-1) is a cationic peptide with broad antimicrobial activity. The mBD-1 gene was cloned and fused with TrxA to construct pET32-mBD1, which was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The optimal expression conditions of fusion protein TrxA–mBD1 were: cultivation at 32°C in 2 × YT medium, induction
with 0.2 mM isopropylthio-d-galactoside (IPTG), and post-induction expression for 8 h. The fusion protein was highly soluble (90.0%) and accounted for
65% of the total soluble protein; and its volumetric productivity reached 0.67 g/l, i.e., 0.14 g/l of recombinant mBD-1. At
5 μM, purified recombinant mBD-1 killed 50% of Candida albicans.

human renin binding protein (hRnBp), showingN-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase activity, was over-expressed inE. coli, but was mainly present as an inclusion body. To improve its solubility and activity, ubiquitin (Ub), thioredoxin (Trx),
maltose binding protein (MBP) and NusA, were used as fusion partners. The comparative solubilities of the fusion proteins
were, from most to least soluble: NusA, MBP, Trx, Ub. Only the MBP fusion did not significantly reduce the activity of hRnBp,
but enhanced the stability. The Origami (DE3), permitting a more oxidative environment for the cytoplasm inE. coli, helped to increase its functional activity. 相似文献

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (Flt3 ligand, FL) is a cytokine that affects the growth, survival and/or differentiation
of hematopoietic cells through the activation of specific tyrosine kinase receptors, and is potentially useful for in vitro
HSC amplification. To express the extracellular domain of human Flt3 ligand (hFLext) in Escherichia coli, we cloned hFLext and constructed the recombinant expression vector pET32a-hFLext. hFLext was successfully expressed in E. coli as a Trx fusion protein (Trx-hFLext) under IPTG (isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside) induction for 12 h at 30°C. The Trx-hFLext protein, expressed in inclusion bodies even at a low induction temperature, was successfully refolded and purified using
dialysis and affinity chromatography. The purified hFLext was biologically active and could effectively stimulate the proliferation of mouse bone marrow nucleated cells revealed by
cell proliferation assay and colony forming assay. In addition, in synergize with G-CSF and TPO, recombinant purified hFLext could stimulate ex vivo expansion of murine Lin−Sca-1+c-Kit+ cells. Therefore, using the E. coli expression system and an affinity chromatography system, we successfully expressed, refolded, and purified a biologically
active Trx-hFLext protein which might be potentially useful for in vitro HSC amplification. 相似文献

Alanine racemase catalyzes the interconversion of d- and l-alanine and plays an important role in supplying d-alanine, a component of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, to most bacteria. Alanine racemase exists mostly in prokaryotes and is
generally absent in higher eukaryotes; this makes it an attractive target for the design of new antibacterial drugs. Here,
we present the cloning and characterization of a new gene-encoding alanine racemase from Pseudomonas putida YZ-26. An open reading frame (ORF) of 1,230 bp, encoding a protein of 410 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight
of 44,217.3 Da, was cloned into modified vector pET32M to form the recombinant plasmid pET–alr. After introduction into E.coli BL21, the strain pET-alr/E.coli BL21 expressed His6-tagged alanine racemase. The recombinant alanine racemase was efficiently purified to homogeneity using Ni2+–NTA and a gel filtration column, with 82.5% activity recovery. The amino acid sequence deduced from the alanine racemase
gene revealed identity similarities of 97.0, 93, 23, and 22.0% with from P. putida F1, P. putida200, P. aeruginosa, and Salmonella typhimurium, respectively. The recombinant alanine racemase is a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 43 kDa. The enzyme exhibited
activity with l-alanine and l-isoleucine, and showed higher specificity for the former compared with the latter. The enzyme was stable from pH 7.0–11.0;
its optimum pH was at 9.0. The optimum temperature for the enzyme was 37°C, and its activity was rapidly lost at temperatures
above 40°C. Divalent metals, including Sr2+, Mn2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ obviously enhanced enzymatic activity, while the Cu2+ ion showed inhibitory effects. 相似文献

Endostatin, a 20 kDa C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a specific inhibitor of endothelial cell proliferation and
angiogenesis. In the present study, we produced soluble and biologically active recombinant human endostatin (rhEndostatin)
in Escherichia coli by expressing via fusion with solubility-promoting peptides and optimizing the expression conditions. The rhEndostatin was expressed via fusion with glutathione S-transferase (GST) and NusA protein, respectively. It revealed that NusA protein enhanced the production
of soluble rhEndostatin; but GST didn’t. By optimizing the expression conditions, the production of soluble NusA-rhEndostatin
fusion protein was about 50% of total cellular proteins and about 90% of the products appeared in the cellular supernatant
fraction. The soluble NusA-rhEndostatin fusion protein was purified by one-step hydrophobic interaction chromatography and
NusA was removed by thrombin. Then rhEndostatin was purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration chromatography.
As a result, a simple and economical purification procedure for rhEndostatin isolation was obtained. The biological activity
of the rhEndostatin was demonstrated in vitro using a human vascular endothelial cells (HuVECs) proliferation assay. Our study provides a feasible and convenient approach
to produce soluble and biologically active rhEndostatin. 相似文献

Large scale production of recombinant human flotillin-2 (reggie-1) is desirable for structural and biochemical studies. However,
as the major lipid rafts specific hydrophobic protein, flotillin-2 was difficult to be expressed as soluble and functional
form in prokaryotic system. In this study, we first cloned and expressed human flotillin-2 in Escherichia coli with five different fusion tags: poly-histidine, glutathione S-transferase (GST), thioredoxin (TRX), N-Utilization substance
(NusA) and maltose binding protein (MBP). We screened the expression level and solubility of the five flotillin-2 fusion proteins,
the best MBP tagged flotillin-2 was then large scale produced. The optimized purification procedure included two steps of
chromatography: Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and anion exchange chromatography. The typical yield was 36.0 mg soluble and
functional recombinant flotillin-2 from 1 L of culture medium with purity above 97%. The activity of recombinant flotillin-2
was verified by pull-down assay with flotillin-1, showing that the purified recombinant flotillin-2 can specifically interact
with flotillin-1. The circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy showed that recombinant flotillin-2 had a very stable secondary
structure dominated by α-helix, β-turn and random structure. 相似文献

The Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (HRSV) fusion protein (F) was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21A using the pET28a vector at 37 °C. The protein was purified from the soluble fraction using affinity resin. The structural quality of the recombinant fusion protein and the estimation of its secondary structure were obtained by circular dichroism. Structural models of the fusion protein presented 46% of the helices in agreement with the spectra by circular dichroism analysis. There are only few studies that succeeded in expressing the HRSV fusion protein in bacteria. This is a report on human fusion protein expression in E. coli and structure analysis, representing a step forward in the development of fusion protein F inhibitors and the production of antibodies. 相似文献

Scorpion long-chain insect neurotoxins are potentially valuable as agricultural pest control agents. Unfortunately, natural
insect neurotoxins are limited in quantity and difficult to obtain from scorpion venom. To determine if recombinant insect
neurotoxin is active to insects, we expressed and purified an AaIT fusion protein in Escherichia coli and a recombinant AaIT protein in Pichia pastoris. To quantify AaIT expression in P. pichia colonies, we produced highly sensitive antiserum against AaIT in BALB/c mice. P. pastoris transformants that highly expressed AaIT were selected based on immunoassay with the AaIT antiserum. The P. pastoris recombinant AaIT was rapidly purified in a new and efficient two-step method that eliminated all contaminant proteins using
ultracentrifugal filters with molecular weight cut-off 10 kDa and 3 kDa. With this new protocol 10 mg of purified recombinant
AaIT was harvested from a 1-l P. pastoris culture. Bioactivity tests indicated that the P. pastoris recombinant AaIT was highly toxic to cockroach larvae, but the E. coli AaIT fusion protein was not toxic to cockroaches. The new expression, screening, and purification protocol described here
was efficient for quickly producing high concentrations of pure, bioactive protein. 相似文献

An E. coli vector system was constructed which allows the expression of fusion genes via a l-rhamnose-inducible promotor. The corresponding fusion proteins consist of the maltose-binding protein and a His-tag sequence
for affinity purification, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Smt3 protein for protein processing by proteolytic cleavage and the protein of interest. The Smt3 gene was codon-optimized
for expression in E. coli. In a second rhamnose-inducible vector, the S. cerevisiae Ulp1 protease gene for processing Smt3 fusion proteins was fused in the same way to maltose-binding protein and His-tag sequence
but without the Smt3 gene. The enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) was used as reporter and protein of interest. Both
fusion proteins (MalE-6xHis-Smt3-eGFP and MalE-6xHis-Ulp1) were efficiently produced in E. coli and separately purified by amylose resin. After proteolytic cleavage the products were applied to a Ni-NTA column to remove
protease and tags. Pure eGFP protein was obtained in the flow-through of the column in a yield of around 35% of the crude
cell extract. 相似文献

d-Xylulose-forming d-arabitol dehydrogenase (aArDH) is a key enzyme in the bio-conversion of d-arabitol to xylitol. In this study, we cloned the NAD-dependent d-xylulose-forming d-arabitol dehydrogenase gene from an acetic acid bacterium, Acetobacter suboxydans sp. The enzyme was purified from A. suboxydans sp. and was heterogeneously expressed in Escherichia coli. The native or recombinant enzyme was preferred NAD(H) to NADP(H) as coenzyme. The active recombinant aArDH expressed in
E. coli is a homodimer, whereas the native aArDH in A. suboxydans is a homotetramer. On SDS–PAGE, the recombinant and native aArDH give one protein band at the position corresponding to 28 kDa.
The optimum pH of polyol oxidation and ketone reduction is found to be pH 8.5 and 5.5 respectively. The highest reaction rate
is observed when d-arabitol is used as the substrate (K
m = 4.5 mM) and the product is determined to be d-xylulose by HPLC analysis. 相似文献

BmK AS is a β long-chain scorpion peptide from the venom of Buthus martensii Karsch (BmK). It was efficiently expressed as a soluble and functional peptide in Escherichia coli, and purified by metal chelating chromatography. About 4.2 mg/l purified recombinant BmK AS could be obtained. The recombinant
BmK AS maintained a similar analgesic activity to the natural one in both the mouse-twisting test and hot-plate procedure.
It also exhibited antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. BmK AS is the first long-chain
scorpion peptide reported to have antimicrobial activity, and is a valuable molecular scaffold for pharmacological research. 相似文献
