Gln49-磷脂酶A2基因工程定点突变及酶活性分析

为了确认49位谷氨酰胺磷脂酶A2（Glutamine 49 phospholipase A2, Gln49-PLA2）酶活性缺失与氨基酸序列的相关性，对Gln49-PLA2编码基因第49位氨基酸进行PCR定点突变，利用pET32a+质粒载体在大肠杆菌中表达Gln49-磷脂酶A2的突变体--天冬氨酸磷脂酶A2（Aspartic acid 49 phospholipase A2, Asp49-PLA2--Q49D-PLA2）。将表达的包涵体蛋白变性，采用固定化金属离子亲和层析进行柱上复性、纯化获得突变体融合蛋白（fusion Q49D-PLA2--fQ49D-PLA2）；突变体融合蛋白经蛋白水解酶Factor Xa酶切后，采用Hitrap SP阳离子交换层析和Superdex 75凝胶层析进一步纯化，得到突变体蛋白Q49D-PLA2，得率为1.3%，比酶活为72U/mg。从而证实Gln49-PLA2酶活性缺失的关键原因是49位氨基酸为谷氨酰胺。

Site-directed mutagenesis and enzymatic activity assay of Gln49-Phospholipase A2 mutant

In order to confirm the role that the 49th amino acid residue plays in enzymatic inactivity of Glutamine 49 phospholipase A2(Gln49-PLA2),site-directed mutagenesis of its 49th amino acid gene codon was conducted using PCR.Aspartic acid 49 phospholipase A2(Asp49-PLA2-Q49D-PLA2),the mutant of Gln49-PLA2 was expressed in E.coli with pET32a vector.The fusion protein,expressed as inclusion body,after being denatured,was on-column refolded and purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography(IMAC),and then cleaved by Factor Xa.The mature Q49D-PLA2 mutant was obtained by Hitrap SP cation exchange and Superdex 75 gel filtration chromatography,with the recovery rate of 1.3%,and the specific activity of the mature Q49D-PLA2 mutant was 72 U/mg.It has been demonstrated that the 49th glutamine amino acid residue is the main reason in enzymatic inactivity of Gln49-PLA2 and the results are helpful for denatured protein refolding,especially in rich disulfide bonds conditions.
