A method for construction of long randomized open reading frames and polypeptides

A method is presented for construction of randomized open readingframe sequences (ORFs) and gene libraries containing them. Thebuilding blocks for the ORFs were 75 bp long DNA fragments generatedby cloning sequences from a single synthetic oligonucleotidepreparation by bridge mutagenesis. The fragments had the propertythat, regardless of their orientation in the ligated product,the ORF of the construct was maintained. The heterogeneity ofthe ORFs resulted from the random ligation of 2000 differentDNA fragments. The randomized ORFs were cloned downstream fromthe lac promoter in a multicopy plasmid in Escherichia coli.To test the method, a library of 10⁶ clones was constructed.

A dual-affinity gene fusion system to express small recombinant proteins in a soluble form: expression and characterization of protein A deletion mutants

A novel gene fusion system to express and purify small recombinantproteins in Escherichia coli has been constructed. The conceptallows for affinity purification of soluble gene products bysequential albumin- and Zn²+-affinity chromatography. The dual-affinitysystem is well suited for expression of unstable proteins asonly full-length protein is obtained after purification andproteins gain proteolytic stability in the fusion protein. Herewe show that the dual-affinity approach can be used for theexpression of various unstable derivatives of a single IgG-bindingdomain based on staphylococcal protein A. Analysis of the proteolyticstabilities and the IgG-binding properties of the differentmutant proteins suggest that the model for the structure ofan IgG-binding domain must be re-evaluated.     

表达HIV-1 Gag-Pol抗原的重组痘病毒的构建及免疫原性

目的构建稳定高效表达HIV-1Gag-Pol蛋白的重组痘病毒载体疫苗,并检测其体液免疫效果。方法将修饰型HIV-1Gag-Pol基因插入到痘病毒表达载体pSC11m2启动子P7·5下游,经与野生型痘病毒同源重组后,进行蓝白斑筛选。用筛选得到的重组病毒rM-GP转染HEK293细胞,经SDS-PAGE和Westernblot检测表达蛋白。用该重组病毒免疫BALB/c小鼠,并检测体液免疫应答。结果已筛选到稳定高效表达HIV-1Gag-Pol蛋白的重组痘病毒载体rM-GP,经Westernblot,在免疫小鼠血清中检测到抗HIV-1p24蛋白的特异性抗体。结论重组痘病毒载体rM-GP能稳定高效表达HIV-1Gag-Pol蛋白,并能引起有效的体液免疫应答。

Expression of green fluoscrescent protein gene in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Protoplasts of the pathogenic plant fungus,Sclerotinia sclerotiorum,were transformed using the pPGF plasmid,which contains green fluorescent protein gene,under the control of Aspergillus nidulans regulatory sequences. The pPGF plasmid was introduced by PEG/CaCl2 treatment. Positive transformants were harvested with hygromycin B (HYG) resistance as selective marker,and then were observed with green fluorescence phenomena in response to blue light,which suggested that GFP gene was cloned into genome DNA of S. sclerotiorum. The transformants were verified mitotically stable by Southern blotting analysis and passage culturing. This study is developed as an initial step for further research into infection mechanisms of S. sclerotiorum to plants and interactions with bio-control fungus.     

Isolation and identification of a sulfate reducing bacteria and sequence analysis of its dissimilatory sulfite reductase gene

A sulfate reducing bacteria was isolated from mining sewage of Daqing Oilfield by Hungate anaerobic technology. Physiological-biochemical analysis showed that the strain could utilize polyacrylamide as sole carbon and nitrogen source. The sequence analysis of 16S rDNA illustrated that the similarity of F8 and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (AF192153) was 99%, and the similarity sequence of dissimilatory sulfite reductase gene (DSR) cloned from the strain and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (AF273034) was 98%. Their phylogenitic analysis was basically anastomosed, and thus temporarily named as Desulfovibrio desulfuricans F8. The DSR cloned from F8 strain was 2740 bp in length consisting of three ORF, DSRA, DSRB and DSRD as a single operon (DSRABD) regulated by the same operator. DSRA contained typical conservative box of sulfate—sulfite reducing enzyme (SiteⅠand SiteⅡ), which could bind siroheme and [Fe4S4]. DSRB retained a [Fe4S4] binding site, with an uncomplimentary structure for siroheme binding. There was no conservative box in DSRD. Sequence analysis of DSR will provide a theoretical basis for quantitative detection, metabolic pathway modification through gene engineering, and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) suppression.
