半合成人肿瘤坏死因子cDNA的构建及其在大肠杆菌中的高表达

本文报道从人基因文库中分离淋巴毒素(LT)基因的同时,克隆了肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)基因,这两个基因相距1.2kb.TNF基因有4个外显子,第4外显子编码TNF成熟蛋白157个氨基酸中的140个.将第4外显子切出一部分,再人工合成编码其余氨基酸的DNA片段,两者连接构成重组的人TNF(rhTNF)cDNA,并克隆在大肠杆菌表达载体中成功地得到表达.5 l罐发酵得菌体约20g/l,以L929为靶细胞测定细胞毒活性为10~6-10~7单位/ml.高压液相色谱仪分离纯化rhTNF,冻干后得白色粉剂.测定了这种rhTNF的氨基端的10个氨基酸序列,证明与天然的人TNF完全相同.纯度约为95％.     

A Stable Vector for High-Level Expression and Secretion of Human Interferon αA in Yeast

Yeast high stable plasmid vector pHC11 was constructed by introducing pEMBL Yi27 cleaved with SmaI into the SnaBI site of intact 2 μm plasmid. The result of plasmid stability assay revealed that 82% of the host cells still harbored the vector after 50-generations growth in non-selective medium, which confirmed the existence of a non-functional region in 2 μm plasmid. The human interferon αA (IFN αA) gene expression-secretion cassette was inserted into pHC11, and the yeast transformant was cultured in complex medium. Tbe data showed that the expressed product was 36.8% of the total protein amount in the culture supernatant and the IFN αA biological activity was 2.6×10~(10) units per liter, demonstrating that high-level expression and secretion of IFN αA were achieved in yeast by using the stable vector pHC11.     

THE EXPRESSION OF HBsAg GENE IN YEAST UNDER GAL-10 PROMOTER CONTROL

The surface antigen gene of HBV (adr subtype) is inserted into the YEP 51 which is replicated and selected in E. coli and baker yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The HBsAg gene can be expressed in yeast under GAL-10 promoter control. The protein synthesized in yeast is assembled into particles that have the same size and shape as particles isolated frown plasma. One μg surface antigen can be yielded in 100ml culture.     

EXPRESSION OF A PARTIAL SYNTHETIC HUMAN TNF cDNA IN E. coli

A recombinant human tumour necrosis factor (rhTNF) cDNA was constructed. The TNF gene was isolated from a human genomic gene library. There are four exons in the TNF gene. The fourth exou codes for 140 amino acids of the TNF matured protein which is composed of 157 amino acids. A major portion of the fourth exon was isolated and then ligated to a synthesized DNA fragment coding for the remaining amino acids. The partial synthetic hTNF (rhTNF) cDNA thus generated was subcloned into a vector and successfully expressed in E. coli. 5-1 fer1entator was used to produce rhTNF. About 20g (wet weight) of bacterial pellet per liter medium and 106—10~7 units of cytotoxicity to L929 cells per milliliter medium were obtained. rhTNF was purified by HPLC and dried with a freeze dryer, rhTNF with a purity of about 95% in the form of white powder was obtained. The sequence of ten amino acids at the amino terminus of the rhTNF was determined. The result showed that it was identical with that of the natural human TNF.     

SYNTHESIS AND SECRETION OF HUMAN ATRIAL NATRIURETIC PEPTIDE IN Saccharomyces cerevisiae

A chemically synthesized α-hANP gene was inserted into plasmid YFD18, which was an expression-secretion vector of yeast. The recombinant then transformed in the yeast Y33. The expression level of yeast transformants was about 700 μg ANP/L detected by RIA. More than 99% of expression products were secreted in the culture medium. N-terminal analysis of purified product showed that the first 4 amino acid residues of α-hANP were deleted.     

酵母高稳定载体的构建及人-αA干扰素在酵母中的高表达和分泌

本文利用酿酒酵母天然2μm质粒的SnaBI位点与pEMBL Yi27质粒的SmaI位点经平末端连接,构建成酿酒酵母高稳定质粒载体pHC11,经测定表明,其酵母转化子在非选择培养条件下连续生长50世代后,仍有82％的细胞保留该质粒,此结果证实了2μm质粒中非功能区的存在,将人-αA干扰素基因表达分泌单元插入pHC11,构建成重组质粒转化酵母后,在完全培养基中发酵培养,经分析测定,培养上清液中表达产物占总蛋白量的36.8％,干扰素效价达2.6×10~(10)u/L,表明利用高稳定载体pHC11使人-αA干扰素在酵母中得到了高表达和分泌。     

人心钠素在酵母细胞中的合成与分泌

将化学合成的人α心钠素基因插入酵母分泌表达载体YFD18,然后把重组质粒转化进酵母菌Y33.用放射免疫分析测得酵母转化子表达心钠素的水平约为700μg/1,其中有99％以上在培养液中.对纯化产物的N末端分析表明人α心钠素的前4个氨基酸残基被缺失了.
