Prokaryotic expression and polyclonal antibody preparation of a novel Rab-like protein mRabL5

Rab GTPases, which belong to the Ras superfamily, represent a group of small molecular weight GTP binding proteins that are involved in various steps along the exocytic and endocytic pathways. We first identified mRabL5 (GenBank Accession No. NP_080349), a novel Mus musculus Rab-like protein, present as a Golgi-associated protein. Here we presented the results of the cloning, prokaryotic expression, purification, and polyclonal antibody production of the novel Rab-like protein. In order to obtain a specific antibody against mRabL5, we prepared two GST fusion proteins, full-length mRabL5 GST fusion protein and mRabL5 C terminus GST fusion protein, to immunize rabbits. Western blot analysis showed that both antibodies prepared against full length of mRabL5 and its C terminus, respectively, can recognize mRabL5 protein. Immunofluorescence of mRabL5 in NIH3T3 cells using the two antibodies showed its perinuclear clustering distribution pattern. The polyclonal antibodies preparation against mRabL5 provided a good tool for us to study the functional involvement of mRabL5.

The chicken anemia virus-derived protein apoptin requires activation of caspases for induction of apoptosis in human tumor cells

The chicken anemia virus protein Apoptin has been shown to induce apoptosis in a large number of transformed and tumor cell lines, but not in primary cells. Whereas many other apoptotic stimuli (e.g., many chemotherapeutic agents and radiation) require functional p53 and are inhibited by Bcl-2, Apoptin acts independently of p53, and its activity is enhanced by Bcl-2. Here we study the involvement of caspases, an important component of the apoptotic machinery present in mammalian cells. Using a specific antibody, active caspase-3 was detected in cells expressing Apoptin and undergoing apoptosis. Although Apoptin activity was not affected by CrmA, p35 did inhibit Apoptin-induced apoptosis, as determined by nuclear morphology. Cells expressing both Apoptin and p35 showed only a slight change in nuclear morphology. However, in most of these cells, cytochrome c is still released and the mitochondria are not stained by CMX-Ros, indicating a drop in mitochondrial membrane potential. These results imply that although the final apoptotic events are blocked by p35, parts of the upstream apoptotic pathway that affect mitochondria are already activated by Apoptin. Taken together, these data show that the viral protein Apoptin employs cellular apoptotic factors for induction of apoptosis. Although activation of upstream caspases is not required, activation of caspase-3 and possibly also other downstream caspases is essential for rapid Apoptin-induced apoptosis.

Prokaryotic expression and purification of HIV-1 Vif and hAPOBEC3G,preparation of polyclonal antibodies

To prepare HIV-1 Vif and hAPOBEC3G and to produce their antibodies, the full length gene fragment of HIV-1 Vif was amplified by PCR from a plasmid of HIV-1 NL4.3 cDNA, and the APOBEC3G gene was obtained by RT-PCR from the total RNA of H9 cells. The resulting DNA construct was cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector (pET-32a). Recombinant pET-vif and pET-APOBEC3G were expressed respectively in Eserichia coli BL21 (DE3) as an insoluble protein. The vector also contained a six-histidine tag at the C-terminus for convenient purification and detection. To express and purify the HIV-1 Vif and hAPOBEC3G in E. coli cells, the accuracy of inserted gene and specificity of proteins were detected by the two enzyme digestion method, SDS-PAGE, and Western blotting. Rabbits were then immunized by Vif or APOBEC3G protein and serum samples were tested by indirect ELISA to determine the level of antibodies. Immunoenzyme and immunofluorescence assays were performed to identify the specificity of polyclonal antibodies. The titer of the anti-Vif antibodies was 1:204800, and that of the anti-APOBEC3G antibodies was 1:102400. Thus the antibodies could detect the antigen expression in the cells, demonstrating that fusion proteins with high purity and their corresponding polyclonal antibodies with high titer and specificity were achieved.     

Prokaryotic expression of antibodies and affibodies

The antibody could detect the expression of PR-1 in N. benthamiana and other Nicotiana plants. NbPR-1 protein has four α-helices and two β-sheets by homology modeling. Furthermore, the purified NbPR-1 protein exhibited a broad-spectrum antifungal activity.

Generation of chicken polyclonal antibodies against distinct maize isotubulins

Summary Antibodies specific to five different maize isotubulins were made. From predicted amino acid sequences established from previously sequenced maize tubulin genes, peptide antigens were synthesized matching the carboxyl-terminal 11–13 amino acids of each of three maize -tubulins and two maize -tubulins. Antibodies were generated by injecting conjugated antigens into hens, collecting their eggs, and extracting immunoglobulin Y from the egg yolk. Specificity of each antibody was tested by immunoblotting of fusion proteins containing the antigenic sequence of the specific - and -tubulin isoforms. For all five isotubulins, antibodies were affinity-purified with fusion proteins corresponding to their respective antigens, to remove nonspecific binding found in the antibody preparations. Further preparation of anti--tubulins was required to eliminate cross-reactivity of antibodies with members of other -tubulin subfamilies. For this, affinity-purified antibodies against a specific -tubulin were preadsorbed with peptides representing cross-reactive -tubulin antigens. Results indicated that virtually all cross-reactivity between members of different -tubulin subfamilies could be eliminated, resulting in labeling of only the fusion protein containing the specific antigen. All five isotubulin antibodies generated showed labeling of discrete spots on two-dimensional immunoblots of maize proteins, demonstrating the specificity of the antibodies in complex tubulin mixtures. These antibodies should prove valuable for analyzing the developmental distribution, and possible functional significance, of several maize isotubulins.Abbreviations BSA bovine serum albumin - 2-D two-dimensional - GCG Genetics Computer Group - Ig Immunoglobulin - KLH keyhole limpet hemocyanin - PBS phosphate-buffered saline - PVDF polyvinylidene-difluoride - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis - TBS Tris-buffered saline - TE Tris EDTA buffer
