To facilitate the purification of wild type p53 protein, we established a recombinant p53 vaccinia viral expression system. Using this efficient eukaryotic expression vector, we found that the expressed p53 proteins retained their specific structural characteristics. A comparison between wild type and mutant p53 proteins showed the conservation of the typical subcellular localization and the expression of specific antigenic determinants. Furthermore, wild type p53 exhibited a typical binding with large T antigen, whereas no binding was detected with mutant p53. Both wild type and mutant p53 proteins were highly stable and constituted 5-7% of total protein expressed in the infected cells. These expression recombinant viruses offer a simple, valuable system for the purification of wild type and mutant p53 proteins that are expressed abundantly in eukaryotic cells. 相似文献

Many studies have suggested the involvement of wild-type (wt) p53 in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) via DNA end-joining (EJ) process. To investigate this possibility, we compared the capacity and fidelity of DNA EJ in RKO cells containing wt p53 and RKO cells containing no p53 (RKO cells with p53 knockdown). The p53 knockdown cells showed lower fidelity of DNA EJ compared to the control RKO cells. The DNA end-protection assay revealed the association of a protein complex including heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein G (hnRNP G) with the DNA ends in RKO cells containing wt p53, but not with the DNA ends in RKO cells with p53 knockdown. Depletion of endogenous hnRNP G notably diminished the fidelity of EJ in RKO cells expressing wt p53. Moreover, an ectopic expression of hnRNP G significantly enhanced the fidelity of DNA EJ and the protection of DNA ends in human cancer cells lacking hnRNP G protein or containing mutant hnRNP G. Finally, using recombinant hnRNP G proteins, we demonstrated the hnRNP G protein is able to bind to and protect DNA ends from degradation of nucleases. Our results suggest that wt p53 modulates DNA DSB repair by, in part, inducing hnRNP G, and the ability of hnRNP G to bind and protect DNA ends may contribute its ability to promote the fidelity of DNA EJ. 相似文献

The 1x myc-tagged cDNA encoding for human CIS2 protein was subcloned into a pET-29a+ vector in order to express and produce a recombinant S-peptide tagged and 1x myc-tagged protein in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The constitutively expressed protein was isolated from inclusion bodies by a simple solubilization-renaturation procedure and purified by anion-exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose. The recombinant form was found to be pure and monomeric as judged by both SDS-PAGE and gel-filtration chromatography and its biological activity was proven by its ability to bind to the tyrosine-phosphorylated cytosolic fragment of human growth hormone receptor fused to glutathione-S-transferase. Recombinant CIS2 was compared by biochemical, immunological, and molecular methods to the CIS2 protein expressed in eukaryotic cells. This report describes the first substantial production of biologically active recombinant human CIS2. 相似文献

The human tumor suppressor p53 is known as guardian of genome because of its involvement in many signals related to cell life or death. In this work, we report that human p53 induces cell death in the yeast Pichia pastoris. We showed a growth inhibition effect, which increased with the p53 protein expression level in recombinant Mut(s) (methanol utilization slow) strain of Pichia. However, no effect of p53 was observed in recombinant strain of Mut(+) (methanol utilization plus) phenotype. Interestingly, human p53 induces cell death in recombinant strains Mut(s) with characteristic markers of apoptosis such as DNA fragmentation, exposure of phosphatidylserine, and reactive oxygen species generation. Taken together, our results strongly suggest that human p53 is biologically active in this heterologous context. Thus, we propose that P.?pastoris could be a useful tool to better understand the biological function of human p53. 相似文献

The p53 tumor suppressor protein can bind tightly to specific sequence elements in the DNA and induce the transactivation of genes harboring such p53 binding sites. Various lines of evidence suggest that p53 binds to its target site as an oligomer. To test whether oligomerization is essential for the biological and biochemical activities of p53, we deleted a major part of the dimerization domain of mouse wild-type p53. The resultant protein, termed p53wt delta SS, was shown to be incapable of forming detectable homo-oligomers in vitro and is, therefore, likely to be predominantly if not exclusively monomeric. In agreement with the accepted model, p53wt delta SS indeed failed to exhibit measurable DNA binding in vitro. Surprisingly, though, it was still capable of suppressing oncogene-mediated transformation and of transactivating in vivo a target gene containing p53 binding sites. These findings indicate that dimerization-defective p53 is biologically active and may engage in productive sequence-specific DNA interactions in vivo. Furthermore, p53 dimerization probably leads to cooperative binding to specific DNA sequences. 相似文献

Numerous biopharmaceuticals and other recombinant biotechnology products are made in prokaryotic hosts. However, bacterial production of native, biologically active eukaryotic proteins is rarely possible for disulfide-bonded and/or multisubunit proteins. We previously described the production of soluble, native disulfide-bonded dimeric proteins in the Escherichia coli cytoplasm (Miele et al., 1990; Mantile et al., 1993). Native, biologically active proteins with up to six disulfide bonds have been produced with our expression system (Garces et al., 1997). However, plasmid instability during induction limited its usefulness. We now report the stable, high-level expression of soluble, disulfide-bonded human uteroglobin without antibiotic selection. We designed a new vector containing a multifunctional stabilization region that confers complete plasmid stability and increased protein yields without copy number increases. Recombinant expression remains fully inducible after long-term continuous culture in nonselective liquid medium (at least 260 generations). This system may significantly expand the applications of bacterial expression to recombinant production of soluble, bioactive proteins for biochemical studies and biopharmaceutical/industrial purposes. As a result of the very broad activity spectrum of the stabilization region we selected, its use could be extended to bacterial hosts other than enterobacteria. 相似文献

Regulation of p53 translation and induction after DNA damage by ribosomal protein L26 and nucleolin 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Increases in p53 protein levels after DNA damage have largely been attributed to an increase in the half-life of p53 protein. Here we demonstrate that increased translation of p53 mRNA is also a critical step in the induction of p53 protein in irradiated cells. Ribosomal protein L26 (RPL26) and nucleolin were found to bind to the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of p53 mRNA and to control p53 translation and induction after DNA damage. RPL26 preferentially binds to the 5'UTR after DNA damage, and its overexpression enhances association of p53 mRNA with heavier polysomes, increases the rate of p53 translation, induces G1 cell-cycle arrest, and augments irradiation-induced apoptosis. Opposite effects were seen when RPL26 expression was inhibited. In contrast, nucleolin overexpression suppresses p53 translation and induction after DNA damage, whereas nucleolin downregulation promotes p53 expression. These findings demonstrate the importance of increased translation of p53 in DNA-damage responses and suggest critical roles for RPL26 and nucleolin in affecting p53 induction. 相似文献

Efficient large-scale protein production of larvae and pupae of silkworm by Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus bacmid system 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Silkworm is one of the most attractive hosts for large-scale production of eukaryotic proteins as well as recombinant baculoviruses for gene transfer to mammalian cells. The bacmid system of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) has already been established and widely used. However, the AcNPV does not have a potential to infect silkworm. We developed the first practical Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus bacmid system directly applicable for the protein expression of silkworm. By using this system, the green fluorescence protein was successfully expressed in silkworm larvae and pupae not only by infection of its recombinant virus but also by direct injection of its bacmid DNA. This method provides the rapid protein production in silkworm as long as 10 days, is free from biohazard, thus will be a powerful tool for the future production factory of recombinant eukaryotic proteins and baculoviruses. 相似文献

We have overproduced the full-length human poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9) cells using a baculovirus expression vector system. Approx. 20 mg of purified protein from 5 x 10(8) Sf9 cells were obtained by a simple three-step purification procedure including 3-aminobenzamide affinity chromatography. The recombinant protein (rePARP), which migrates as a unique 116-kDa band on SDS-polyacrylamide gels, was identified as PARP by Western blotting using either polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies raised against the purified human and calf thymus enzymes. Furthermore, rePARP is a functional protein, as demonstrated by its ability to specifically bind Zn2+ and DNA, and to recognize single-strand breaks in DNA. The purified enzyme has the same affinity for NAD+ and turnover number as the human placental PARP. Thus, rePARP produced in insect cells is biologically active and suitable for functional analysis. The reproducibility of the overproduction and the simplicity of the purification protocol, as well as the yield of the produced protein, should greatly facilitate physicochemical and structural studies. 相似文献

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), widely used in the food industry, are present in the intestine of most animals, including humans. The potential use of these bacteria as mucosal delivery vehicles for vaccinal, medical or technological use has been extensively investigated. Lactococcus lactis, a LAB species, is a potential candidate for the production of biologically useful proteins and for plasmid DNA delivery to eukaryotic cells. Several delivery systems have been developed to target heterologous proteins to a specific cell location (i.e., cytoplasm, cell wall or extracellular medium) and more recently to efficiently transfer DNA to eukaryotic cells. A promising application of L. lactis is its use for the development of live mucosal vaccines. Here, we have reviewed the expression of heterologous protein and the various delivery systems developed for L. lactis, as well as its use as an oral vaccine carrier. 相似文献

Stable expression of biologically active recombinant bovine interleukin-4 in Trypanosoma brucei. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We have explored the potential of Trypanosoma brucei as a eukaryotic expression system. Procyclic forms, which correspond to an insect-adapted stage, can easily be cultured in vitro. The cells grow to densities approximately 10-fold greater than higher eukaryotic cells and are not infectious for mammals. An expression vector which can stably integrate into the genome was used to express high levels of recombinant bovine interleukin-4 (IL-4). Trypanosome-derived IL-4 is released into the medium and is biologically active. The recombinant protein down-regulates CD14 expression in human macrophages and inhibits NO production by stimulated bovine macrophages. 相似文献

The mdmx gene was shown to possess high homology to the mdm-2 gene and to encode a protein that can bind p53 and block p53 transactivation. Because Mdm-2 protein blocks the growth-suppressive activity of the p53 tumor-suppressor protein through similar activities, we examined the expression patterns of mdmx to determine how MdmX expression correlates with p53 protein levels. In this study, the expression pattern and protein levels of mdmx were examined in a number of cell culture systems. Like mdm-2, mdmx gene expression was constitutive during serum deprivation/restimulation of murine fibroblasts and differentiation of either murine teratocarcinoma or preadipocyte cells. In contrast, whereas mdm-2 gene expression was induced after cisplatin damage to ovarian carcinoma cells, mdmx expression remained constitutive. Because p53 transactivation is critical following a genotoxic stress, we examined p53:MdmX complexes after in vitro DNA-PK phosphorylation, a posttranslational modification that blocks p53 association with Mdm-2. The DNA-PK phosphorylation of p53 was capable of inhibiting p53:MdmX association. Thus, whereas DNA damage does not regulate mdmx mRNA levels, posttranslational modifications induced during DNA damage may block p53:MdmX association in vivo. These results demonstrate that, in the cell lines examined, mdmx gene expression remains constitutive during cell proliferation and differentiation or following DNA damage. Taken together, the data suggest that cells retain a constant level of MdmX. Thus, in undamaged cells, there exists the potential for an MdmX:p53 reservoir. 相似文献
