SUMO(small ubiquitin-related modifier) pathway regulates the protein stability and transcriptional activity with a 12-kDa small molecular protein, SUMO, ligated to the target protein. The purification of SUMO proteins is a key step to reveal their function. The purpose of this study was to construct the recombinant SUMO1 gene cloned to a pGEX-4T-1 vector to express and purify the SUMO1-GST fusion protein in Escherichia coli. First, the full length DNA sequence of SUMO1 gene was amplified by PCR and was ligated to pMD18-T vector. Then the SUMO1 gene was subcloned to pGEX-4T-1 prokaryotic expression vector between BamHI and XhoI sites, and transformed in Escherichia coli DH5α cells. The right colonies were identified by restrictive enzyme digestion and sequencing. The correct rebombinant plasmid of pGEX-4T-1-SUMO1 was transformed in Escherichia coli BL21 cells and then induced by IPTG(isopropyl- β-D-1- thiogalacto-pyranoside) to express the SUMO1-GST fusion protein. The highly purified SUMO1-GST(glutathione S-transferase) fusion protein was obtained by affinity chromatography. Finally, the properties of SUMO1-GST fusion protein were confirmed by Coomassie brilliant blue strain and Western blot analysis. The recombinant plasmid of pGEX-4T-1-SUMO1 was successfully constructed, and SUMO1-GST fusion proteins were successfully expressed.展开更多

Methods: The mammalian cell expression vector for CD11b fused with CFP at the carboxyl terminal was constructed to create recombinant plasmid of pCD11b-CFP. Then pCD11b-CFP was co-transfected with pYFP-CD18 into CHO cell, a fibroblast like cell line, as a target cell within which there are some signal pathways involved in inflammatory stimulation but without endogenous Mac-1. Then CHO cells stably expressing both CD11b-CFP and YFP-CD18 fusion proteins were selected by Western blot and laser scanning confocal microscope. Results: The cyan and yellow fluorescence in co-transfected positive CHO cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope. CHO-Mac-1-FP cells stably expressing both CD11b-CFP and YFP-CD18 fusion proteins were obtained as demonstrated by Western blot successfully. The adhesive activity of CHO-Mac-1-FP cells with CHO-1CAM-1 cells was increased markedly by treatment with PMA, suggesting the translocation of GD11b-CFP and YFP-CD18 to the plasma membrane in CHO-Mac-1-FP cells and dimerization of CD11b-CFP and YFP-CD18 just as the function of the wild type Mac-1. Conclusion: CHO-Mac-1-FP cells with adhesive activity are established successfully, thus CHO-Mac-1-FP cells may be useful for the study of Mac-1 by FRET and for other purposes.展开更多

The fusion peptide-expressing Pichia pastoris strain was created by transformation.After optimization of shake flask cultures, the ultimate intracellular expression level of the insulin-collagen α1(I) chain fusion protein(INS-COL1 A1) reached about 300 mg·L^(-1), and no obvious protein degradation was found in the fermentation and purification processes. The His-tagged recombinant fusion protein was detected by western blotting and was effectively purified using Ni^(2+)-chelating chromatography. A prominent improvement in the stability of INS-COL1 A1 was observed compared to rhCOL1 A1 in vitro, and the rhCOL1 A1 released from the fusion protein was studied by LC–MS/MS and in bioassays. The results showed that the purified rhCOL1 A1 was consistent with the native protein in amino acid composition and had a similar biological compatibility. To our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate the use of insulin as a fusion protein to improve the stability of easily degradable proteins.展开更多

After IPTG induction ,SDS-PAGE was employed to detect the gene expression. No corresponding protein encoded by GST gene fused with the whole-length 816 bp IL-1 cDNA was observed, nor was free GST protein. However, the fusion protein of GST and IL-1 cDNA without the 189 bp at the 5'- terminus was detected, amounting to 30% of the total bacterial protein expressed. This might suggest that the sequence of 1-189 bp of IL-1 cDNA affected the expression of the fusion gene. That is to say, the downstream sequence distant from the translation start codon AUG in the target gene could significantly affect the expression of the fusion gene.展开更多

Methods: Huh-7 cells were divided into the control group, the negative control group (NC group) and the miR-150 overexpression group (mimic group). The miR-150 overexpressing cell line was constructed by plasmid transfection. The cell viability and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 and flow cytometry. The cell migration and invasion capacity were measured by cell wound scratch assay and Transwell. The levels of miRNA and mRNA were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the relative expression levels of proteins were detected by Western blot. Results: MiR-150 significantly inhibited the cell viability of Huh-7 and promoted its apoptosis (P<0.01). After 24 h of cultivation, the mobility of the control group and the NC group were (83.54±4.66)%and (85.57±4.74)%, respectively. The mobility of the mimic group was (49.63±3.78)%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group and the NC group (P<0.01). After 24 h of cultivation, the invasive rate of the control group and the NC group were (100.56±2.87)%and (101.63±3.74)%, respectively, and the invasive rate of mimic group was (51.63±5.32)%, which was significantly lower than that of the control group and the NC group (P<0.01). The expression levels of cyclin B1 protein and mRNA in the mimic group were significantly lower than those in the control group and the NC group (P<0.01), and the level of mitochondrial-associated protein 2 in the mimic group was significantly higher than that in the control group and the NC group (P<0.01). Conclusions: MiR-150 may inhibit the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis of hepatoma carcinoma cell by regulating cyclin B1 or up-regulating mitochondrial-associated protein 2 levels.展开更多
