乙型肝炎病毒S和前S1基因的融合构建及其在P. pastoris酵母中的表达

目的构建含有乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)S和前S1(preS1,10～50AA)表位的ss1融合基因,并在P.pastoris酵母中表达SS1融合蛋白。方法以HBV全基因组质粒为模板,扩增出目的区段:S(1～222AA)、preS1(10～50AA),以酶切-PCR的方法将其连接为ss1融合基因,然后克隆入表达载体pPIC3.5k;电穿孔转化毕赤酵母菌株GS115,筛选后进行诱导表达并对表达产物进行检测。结果表达产物的相对分子质量为30000左右,与抗HBs抗体和抗preS1抗体均有特异反应。结论ss1融合基因能够在P.pastoris酵母中高效表达,而且表达产物具有HBVS蛋白和preS1蛋白的抗原性,为进一步研究其免疫原性打下基础。

Expression of HBV S and preS1 fusion gene in Pichia pastoris expression system

Objective To clone and express the ss1 recombinant gene containing S gene and preS1(10-50 AA)gene in P. pastoris expression system. Methods The fusion gene ss1 containing the S(1-222 AA) gene and preS1(10-50 AA)gene was constructed with PCR method. The fusion ss1 gene was cloned into the expression vector of pPIC3.5k. The linear vector DNA was transformed into the host cell of GS115 with electroporation method. After screening with G418, the product was induced to express with methanol and its antigenicity was analyzed. Results The molecular weight of expressed ss1 protein was about 30 000 dalton. The product was reactive to anti-HBs and anti-preS1 mAb. Conclusion The fusion gene was efficiently expressed in P. pastoris expression system.The expressed products have the antigenicity of both S and preS1 protein.
