不同生长阶段青枯菌的高效离子交换色谱表征

采用高效离子交换色谱和激光光散射仪对不同生长阶段的青枯菌进行色谱表征。青枯菌经过色谱分离得到3个特征峰。通过对延滞期、对数生长期和稳定期青枯菌细胞浓度、发酵液pH值、细胞表面黏附的胞外酸性多糖(EPSⅠ)含量与青枯菌色谱行为的关系研究,发现在8h时,青枯菌运动能力强,细胞表面EPSⅠ少,吸附力弱,绝大多数菌体直接随流动相流出形成峰1;随着培养时间延长,细胞表面黏附的EPSⅠ量增多,与树脂吸附力增强,保留时间延长。因此分析3个色谱峰的形成与青枯菌的运动性、以及细胞表面EPSⅠ与阴离子交换树脂的吸附作用有关。并通过比较3个色谱峰青枯菌细胞表面EPSⅠ含量的差异和观察青枯菌经过4%甲醛固定处理后色谱行为的变化加以进一步验证。高效离子交换色谱为细菌完整细胞的研究提供了一种新的分析方法。     

Structure and dynamics of small soluble Aβ(1-40) oligomers studied by top-down hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry

Aβ peptides can assemble into amyloid fibrils, which represent one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Recent studies, however, have focused on the behavior of small soluble Aβ oligomers that possess a much greater neurotoxicity than mature fibrils. The structural characterization of these oligomers remains difficult because of their highly dynamic and polymorphic nature. This work explores the behavior of Aβ(1-40) in a slightly basic solution (pH 9.3) at a low salt concentration (10 mM ammonium acetate). These conditions lead to the formation of small oligomers, without any signs of fibrillation for several hours. The structure and dynamics of these oligomers were characterized by circular dichroism spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, and millisecond time-resolved hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry (MS). Our results reveal rapid interconversion between Aβ(1-40) oligomers and monomers. The mole fraction of monomeric molecules is on the order of 40%. Oligomers consist of ~4 Aβ(1-40) molecules on average, and the resulting assemblies have a predominantly β-sheet secondary structure. Hydrogen exchange proceeds in the EX1 regime. This feature allows the application of conformer-specific top-down MS. Electron capture dissociation is used for interrogating the deuteration behavior of the Aβ(1-40) oligomers. This approach provides a spatial resolution of ~2 residues. The backbone amide deuteration pattern uncovered in this way is consistent with a β-turn-β motif for L17-M35. The N-terminus is involved in hydrogen bonding, as well, whereas protection gradually tapers off for C-terminal residues 35-40. Our data are consistent with earlier proposals, according to which Aβ(1-40) oligomers adopt a β-barrel structure. In general terms, this study demonstrates how top-down MS with precursor ion selection can be employed for structural studies of specific protein conformers within a heterogeneous mix.     

CHO细胞基因组中稳定hot spot位点研究进展

近些年来,治疗性重组蛋白类药物是生物制药领域研究的热点。工业化生产中常用于重组蛋白表达的细胞系是中国仓鼠卵巢(Chinese hamster ovary,CHO)细胞。传统CHO细胞系的表达大多数基于随机整合的方式,这可能会使目标基因整合到异染色质区域或者不稳定的染色质区域,导致CHO细胞表达不稳定,需要多轮筛选才能获得理想的表达细胞系。最新研究表明,外源基因在CHO细胞预测/特定的基因组位点中进行特异性整合,可以使重组CHO细胞的表达保持长期一致性和稳定性。CHO细胞基因组中高效稳定的转录整合位点被称为热点(hot spot)。阐述CHO细胞基因组稳定的hot spot位点近几年的研究进展,其中包括热门的hot spot位点,以及如何研究新的hot spot位点的方法。总结如何将外源基因高效定位于预测的CHO细胞hot spot位点,实现高水平稳定的表达重组蛋白,为发现新的有效的hot spot位点,构建稳定表达CHO细胞系提供参考。

水稻草矮病毒NS6基因在大肠杆菌中的表达及植物表达载体的构建

Large amount of disease-specific protein(SP) accumulated in the rice plant cells infected by rice grassy stunt virus(RGSV). It was deduced that the protein was encoded by NS6 gene on genomic vRNA6 and thus referred to as NS6 protein.But its function is unknown. In an effort to prove the above deduction and to elucidate the function of NS6 protein of RGSV, we constructed a bacterial expression plasmid pGTNS6 producing a fusion protein of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and NS6 protein, and a plant expression vector pCBTNSv6 containing NS6 gene. A recombinant plasmid pTNSv 6 containing the coding region of NS6 gene and the non-coding region at its 5' terminus, cloned by RT-PCR from purified RNAs of Shaxian isolate of RGSV, was used as the start point. Western blot analysis showed that the fusion protein reacted strongly with antisera raised against RGSV-SP, which served as evidence of the deduction.EHA105 of Agrobacterium tumefasciens containing pCBTNSv6 has been obtained and the transformation of rice is underway.
