目的 构建质粒型甲病毒复制子载体系统,并对其功能进行鉴定.方法 在XJ-160病毒感染性cDNA克隆的基础上,将病毒非结构基因序列分为三个片段扩增,分步克隆至真核表达载体pVAX1 CMV启动子下游,并用多克隆位点序列替代病毒的结构基因构建XJ-160病毒质粒型复制子载体.将病毒核蛋白基因及包膜糖蛋白基因分别克隆至pVAX1 CMV启动子下游构建载体的两个辅助质粒.通过绿色荧光蛋白报告基因及海肾荧光素酶报告基因的表达检验该质粒型载体系统的功能特性.结果 成功构建了包括复制子载体和辅助质粒的质粒型甲病毒复制子载体系统,且该复制子载体系统可成功表达绿色荧光蛋白报告基因及海肾荧光素酶报告基因.结论 本研究构建了能够表达外源基因的质粒型甲病毒复制子载体系统,为目标基因表达、重组病毒颗粒制备等奠定了基础.

Construction and identification of plasmid-based replicon vector system derived from Alphavirus

Objective To construct a plasmid-based replicon vector system derived from Alphavirus,and its functions were identified.Methods based on XJ-160 viral infectious cDNA clone,the virus non-structural gene sequence were devided into three fragments to amplify and then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1 CMV promoter downstream by step clone.A multiple cloning site sequence replacing the virus structural gene,plasmid-based replicon vector derived from XJ-160 virus was constructed.Virus nucleoprotein gene and envelope glycoprotein gene were respectively cloned into pVAX1 CMV promoter downstream,constructing two helper plasmid vectors.Then by the expression of green fluorescent protein reporter gene and renilla luciferase reporter gene we test the function of the plasmid-based replicon vector system.Results The plasmid-based replicon vector system derived from XJ-160 virus was successfully constructed,and green fluorescent protein reporter gene and renilla luciferase reporter gene were successfully expressed.Conclusion We construct the replicon vector system with the independent replication and translation capabilities,and it can be used in subsequent studies,to lay the foundation of the expression of the target gene and the preparion of the recombinant viral particles.
