目的研究人肌纤生成调节因子1(MR-1)的表达,获得MR-1蛋白,制备MR-1抗体,为MR-1生物功能研究提供基础.方法利用大肠杆菌质粒pGEX-5X-1、pET30a( )及pET24a( ),分别构建MR-1及其两端与不同标签序列融合的表达载体.在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)和BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RIL中比较N端和/或C端融合标签序列对该基因表达的影响.通过凝胶蛋白电泳及电洗脱制备目的蛋白,免疫家兔.酶联免疫吸咐试验(ELISA)和Western b1ot检测所制备抗体的滴度和免疫原性.结果利用GST或T7-tag序列在其N端融合,使MR-1在大肠杆菌BL21-CodonPlus(DE3)-RIL得到表达.利用所表达获得的MR-1-T融合蛋白,制备了针对此蛋白的多克隆抗体.ELISA检测所制备抗体滴度达到1:105,Western hlot显示所制备的多克隆抗体可用于检测天然细胞中的MR-1蛋白.结论MR-1蛋白需在N端与GST或T7-tag序列融合方可实现表达.利用在大肠杆菌表达纯化的蛋白所制备的抗体可用于MR-1生物学功能的研究.

Expression of a human myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 gene in E. coli and its immunogenicity

OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of human myofibrillogenesis regulator 1 (MR-1) gene in E. coli and obtain the MR-1 protein and its antibody for further investigation of its biological function. METHODS: Expression vectors pGEX-5X-1, pET30a (+), and pET24a (+), as well as host strain E. coli BL21 (DE3) and BL21-CodonPlus (DE3) -RIL were used for expression of MR-1. MR-1 N-terminal with GST or T7-tag or C-terminal with His-tag, separately, or N terminal with T7-tag and C terminal with His-tag, simultaneously, were fused in plasmids pGEX-5X-1, pET30a (+) , and pET24a (+). The expressed MR-1-T protein, separated and purified by preparative SDS-PAGE, was applied to immunize the rabbits. The titer of the antibody was assayed by ELISA and its immunogenicity was tested by Western blot with pcDNA3/MR-1 transfected human breast cancer cell MCF7. RESULTS: The MR-1 protein was successfully expressed as inclusion body by fusing its N-terminal with T7-tag in E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3) -RIL. MR-1 protein was purified by electro-elution from SDS-PAGE gel. Using this purified protein, polyclonal antibody in rabbit against MR-1 was essentially generated. ELISA and Western blot showed the titer of this antibody was about 1:10(5) with high immunogenicity. CONCLUSIONS: The N-terminal fusion tag is the most important mechanism for MR-1 expression. The polyclonal antibody of the generated MR-1 protein in E. coli may be applied for its further biological function studies.
