日本血吸虫重组质粒pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32的构建及其在大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3)中的表达

目的 构建日本血吸虫重组质粒pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32,观察该质粒在大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3)中的表达.方法 超声粉碎日本血吸虫成虫,提取总RNA,通过RT-PCR扩增获得Sj26GST和Sj32抗原编码基因,然后采用基因拼接法剪接Sj26GST和Sj32,得到Sj26GST-Sj32融合基因,克隆至大肠埃希菌原核表达载体pET28α,构建重组质粒pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32,转化大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3),经异丙基硫代-β-D-半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导表达后用十二烷基硫酸钠聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳(SDS-PAGE)和Western印迹法对表达产物进行分析和鉴定.结果 基因拼接法扩增出长度约1991 bp的Sj26GST-Sj32融合基因;双酶切和PCR鉴定证实Sj26GST-Sj32融合基因成功插入pET28α中,SDS-PAGE分析显示表达产物为相对分子质量约69×103的重组蛋白,与预期结果一致,表达的蛋白约占菌体总蛋白的25%;Western印迹法鉴定重组蛋白能被日本血吸虫感染的兔血清识别.结论 成功构建了日本血吸虫重组质粒pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32,该质粒在大肠埃希菌BL21(DE3)中获得了高效融合表达,表达的融合蛋白具有特异的抗原性.

Abstract：

Objective To construct and express the recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 of Schistosoma japonicum(Sj) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Methods Total RNA was extracted from Sj adult worms by ultrasound-breaking, Sj26GST and Sj32 antigen gene was respectively amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA; Sj26GST-Sj32 fusion gene obtained with gene splicing by overlap extension(SOEing) was cloned into prokaryotic expression plasmid pET28α and transformed into Escherichia coli BL2 (DE3) to construct pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32;BL21 (pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32) was induced with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranosid (IPTG), and the expressed products were analyzed and identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE)and Western blotting. Results The 1991 bp Sj26GST-Sj32 fusion gene was successfully amplified by gene SOEing and cloned into pET28α by restriction analysis and PCR identification, the recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 was successfully constructed; the relative molecular mass of the expressed recombinant protein was approximately 69 × 103 by SDS-PAGE, and the amount of the expressed protein was 25% of the total bacterial proteins; the fusion protein could be recognized by sera from rabbits infected with Sj by Western blotting.Conclusions The recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 is successfully constructed and highly expressed in Escherichia coli in fused form with His-tag, and the expressed fusion protein shows specific antigenicity.
