N-糖酰胺酶F在大肠杆菌中的高效表达及其脱糖基化作用研究

从脑膜炎脓杆菌（Flavobacterium meningosepticum）基因组中通过PCR扩增了N-糖酰胺酶F（PNGase F）基因,经酶切后与表达载体pET28a连接，获得的重组质粒转入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)。重组大肠杆菌经诱导表达和纯化提取后,获取大量高纯度N-糖酰胺酶F，其纯度达90%以上。试验证明，经纯化的重组N-糖酰胺酶F可以切除核糖核酸酶B、转铁蛋白和人IgG等糖蛋白上的N-糖链，具有脱糖基化作用。

High Level Expression of PNGase F in Escherichia coli and its Bioactivities

In order to obtain active recombinant PNGase F in Escherichia coli, a prokaryotic expression vector pET28a/PNGase F was constructed. Amplification of PNGase F was obtained using PCR technique employing suitable primers designed according to the PNGase F gene sequence from Flavobacterium meningosepticum. The expression of PNGase F gene in LB medium or M9 medium led to the formation of inclusion body and soluble protein, respectively. The refolding of the denatured inclusion body was successful by gradual dilution. Further purification of the refolded protein and soluble crude extract from M9 medium with Ni~ 2+-NTA argarose resulted a 90% purified PNGase F. The purified protein catalyzed the complete and intact cleavage of N-linked oligosaccharides from various glycoproteins. The efficiency of this cleavage was affected by the substrate status in the reaction system. In summary, we have developed an enzyme production system where PNGase F was over-expressed in recombinant E. coli. This system can provide more than 15mg/L purified active PNGase F. This purified active PNGase F can be used as tools in analyzing the oligosaccharide structure.
