Effects of co-expression of molecular chaperones on heterologous soluble expression of the cold-active lipase Lip-948

The cold-active lipase gene Lip-948, cloned from Antarctic psychrotrophic bacterium Psychrobacter sp. G, was ligated into plasmid pColdI. The recombinant plasmid pColdI+Lip-948 was then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that there was substantive expression of lipase LIP-948 in E. coli with a yield of about 39% of total protein, most of which was present in the inclusion body. The soluble protein LIP-948 only consisted of 1.7% of total LIP-948 with a specific activity of 66.51U/mg. Co-expression of molecular chaperones with the pColdI+Lip-948 were also carried out. The results showed that co-expression of different chaperones led to an increase or decrease in the formation of soluble LIP-948 in varying degrees. Co-expression of pColdI+Lip-948 with chaperone pTf16 and pGro7 decreased the amount of soluble LIP-948, while the soluble expression was enhanced when pColdI+Lip-948 was co-expressed with "chaperone team" plasmids (pKJE7, pG-Tf2, pG-KJE8), respectively. LIP-948 was most efficiently expressed in soluble form when it was co-expressed with pG-KJE8, which was up to 19.8% of intracellular soluble proteins and with a specific activity of 108.77U/mg. The soluble LIP-948 was purified with amylase affinity chromatography and its enzymatic characters were studied. The optimal temperature and pH of LIP-948 was 35°C and 8, respectively. The activity of LIP-948 dropped dramatically after incubation at 50°C for 15min and was enhanced by Sr(2+), Ca(2+). It preferentially hydrolyzed 4-nitrophenyl esters with the shorter carbon chain.     

分子伴侣协助下抗肿瘤抗生素美达霉素生物合成中的糖基转移酶Med-ORF8 的原核表达

糖基转移酶在天然产物的糖基化修饰过程中起关键作用。目前链霉菌源抗肿瘤抗生素美达霉素(Medermycin)生物合成途径中的糖基转移酶Med-ORF8的原核表达及酶学性质还未有研究。首先通过结构模拟确定Med-ORF8的端部加上His-标签不会影响其三维结构的正确折叠,然后利用2种pET原核表达载体来进行Med-ORF8的原核表达,发现以pET-28a(+)为载体进行表达时,目的蛋白产量非常高,但是以不可溶的包涵体形式为主。当分子伴侣基因(编码大肠杆菌触发因子)与Med-ORF8的编码基因共表达时,在优化诱导条件的情况下,可以有效减少包涵体的形成,提高了Med-ORF8的可溶性表达效率,为Med-ORF8的酶学分析打下基础。     

Co-expression of the Plasmodium falciparum molecular chaperone, PfHsp70, improves the heterologous production of the antimalarial drug target GTP cyclohydrolase I, PfGCHI

Molecular chaperones have been used for the improved expression of target proteins within heterologous systems; however, the chaperone and target protein have seldom been matched in terms of origin. We have developed a heterologous co-expression system that allows independent expression of the plasmodial chaperone, PfHsp70, and a plasmodial target protein. In this study, the target was Plasmodium falciparum GTP cyclohydrolase I (PfGCHI), the first enzyme in the plasmodial folate pathway. The sequential expression of the molecular chaperone followed by the target protein increased the expression of soluble functional PfGCHI. His-tagged PfGCHI was successfully purified using nickel affinity chromatography, and the specific activity was determined by high performance liquid chromatography with spectrofluorometeric detection to be 5.93nmol/h/mg. This is the first report of a heterologous co-expression system in which a plasmodial chaperone is harnessed for the improved production and purification of a plasmodial target protein.     

Recent advances in discovery,heterologous expression,and molecular engineering of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase for versatile applications

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) is an important enzyme with multiple functions, in particular the production of cyclodextrins. It is also widely applied in baking and carbohydrate glycosylation because it participates in various types of catalytic reactions. New applications are being found with novel CGTases being isolated from various organisms. Heterologous expression is performed for the overproduction of CGTases to meet the requirements of these applications. In addition, various directed evolution techniques have been applied to modify the molecular structure of CGTase for improved performance in industrial applications. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in the heterologous expression and molecular engineering of CGTases. In this review, we systematically summarize the heterologous expression strategies used for enhancing the production of CGTases. We also outline and discuss the molecular engineering approaches used to improve the production, secretion, and properties (e.g., product and substrate specificity, catalytic efficiency, and thermal stability) of CGTase.     

Calnexin co-expression and the use of weaker promoters increase the expression of correctly assembled Shaker potassium channel in insect cells

Voltage-gated potassium channels control the membrane potential of excitable cells. To understand their function, knowledge of their structure is essential. However, these channels are scarce in natural sources, and overexpression is necessary to generate material for structural studies. We have compared functional expression of the Drosophila Shaker H4 potassium channel in stable insect cell lines and in baculovirus-infected insect cells, using three different baculovirus promoters. Stable insect cell lines expressed correctly assembled channel, which was glycosylated and found predominantly at, or close to, the cell surface. In comparison, the majority of baculovirus-overexpressed Shaker was intracellular and incorrectly assembled. The proportion of functional Shaker increased, however, if the weaker basic protein promoter was used rather than the stronger p10 or polyhedrin promoters. In addition, co-expression of the molecular chaperone, calnexin, increased the quantity of correctly assembled channel protein, suggesting that calnexin can be used to increase the efficiency of channel expression in insect cells.
