摘要
目的 为探讨丙型肝炎病毒 (HCV)非结构蛋白NS3的功能 ,在真核生物酵母细胞中表达HCVNS3基因。方法 用聚合酶链反应 (PCR)的方法以HCV全长质粒pBRTM/HCV 1为模板扩增HCVNS3基因 ,克隆到 pGEM T载体中 ,双酶切后回收连接到酵母表达质粒 pGBKT7中表达。提取酵母蛋白质 ,进行十二烷基磺酸钠 聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳 (SDS PAGE)和Western免疫印迹分析。结果 成功构建HCVNS3基因酵母表达载体 ,Western免疫印迹显示了HCVNS3在酵母细胞中表达。表达产物在胞内存在 ,相对分子质量为 70 0 0 0。结论 HCVNS3蛋白在酵母中表达成功。
Objective HCV NS3 protein plays an important role in disease caused by HCV. We investigate the gene expression of HCV NS3 in yeast for future study of the function of the protein. Methods PCR was performed to amplify the gene of HCV NS3 from the plasmid pBRTM/HCV containing the whole fragment of HCV and the gene was cloned into pGEM T vector. Thereafter, HCV NS3 gene was cut from pGEM T vector and cloned into yeast expression plasmid pGBKT7, and recombinant pGBKT7∶NS3 was transformed into yeast AH109. The yeast protein was isolated and analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS PAGE) and Western blotting. Results HCV NS3 gene was successfully cloned into pGBKT7. The results of SDS PAGE and Western blotting assay showed that the molecular weight of the expressed product was about 22000 Da and HCV NS3 protein was existed within yeast cells.Conclusions HCV NS3 was successfully expressed in yeast expression system.
