利用本实验室前期以ATP6为诱饵蛋白,通过酵母双杂交系统筛选到的一个N端含有RINGv结构(RING—variant)的蛋白,暂命名为BnRCH,构建GTK—BnRCH表达载体在原核细胞E.coliBL21(DE3)中高效表达GST—BnRCH融合蛋白,并将纯化的融合蛋白加入体外泛素反应体系,发现BnRCH在ATP、泛素、E1、E2存在的条件下,能催化多聚泛素化形成,具有E3连接酶活性.
ATP6 was used as the bait protein to screen its interacting partners by yeast two-hybrid system. Then a fragment, which has a RINGv (RING-variant) structure, was therefore found, and we ten- tatively named it BnRCH. BnRCH from Brassica napus was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector GTK to express BnRCH as a glutathione-s-transferase (GST) fusion protein. The recombinant ex- pression plasmid was then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). In the presence of human E1 and human E2, ubiquitination activity was observed in the presence of purified GST-BnRCH, indicating that BnRCH has E3 ligase activity in vitro.
