滇重楼鲨烯合酶基因PpSQS的克隆及在大肠杆菌中的表达

目的: 克隆滇重楼鲨烯合酶(squalene synthase,SQS)基因(PpSQS),对该基因进行序列分析及原核表达。 方法: 采用同源克隆和RACE技术获得PpSQS的cDNA,并对其进行生物信息学分析;构建原核表达载体pET-30b(+)-PpSQS,在大肠杆菌Escherich coli BL21(DE3)中进行诱导表达。 结果: PpSQS基因cDNA全长1 498 bp,包含1个1 212 bp的开放阅读框(ORF),可编码403个氨基酸;PpSQS理论标准分子质量为46.36 kDa,等电点为pI 6.83;SDS-PAGE分析表明,经1 mmol·L^-1 IPTG诱导后,重组PpSQS蛋白在大肠杆菌中获得表达。 结论: 首次获得了滇重楼PpSQS基因cDNA全长序列,该基因编码产物具有植物SQS同源蛋白的典型特征,实现重组PpSQS在大肠杆菌中的表达。

Molecular cloning of squalene synthase gene form Paris polyphylla and its expression in Escherich coli

Objective: To clone the cDNA sequence of squalene synthase gene from Paris polyphylla, and characterize the biological features of the obtained SQS. Method: Using homology cloning and RACE technique, a full-length cDNA sequence of PpSQS gene was isolated from P. polyphylla. The obtained sequence was analyzed by bioinformatics softwares. A plasmid was constructed for prokaryotic expression the recombinant PpSQS. Result: The full-length cDNA of PpSQS gene is 1 498 bp, which contains a 1 212 bp ORF. Sequence analysis indicated that PpSQS encoded 403 amino acids residues with a calculated molecular weight (MW) of 46.36 kDa and an isoelectric point (pI) of 6.83. SDS-PAGE results showed that the recombinant PpSQS was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) by inducing with 1 mmol·L^-1 IPTG. Conclusion: The full-length cDNA sequence of PpSQS gene was obtained from P. polyphylla, and its molecular features were consisted with classic SQS in plant. The recombinant PpSQS was successfully expressed in E. coli.
