【目的】获得原核表达的柑橘碎叶病毒(Citrus tatter leaf virus,CTLV)的外壳蛋白(Coat protein,CP)。【方法】以感染CTLV的柑橘叶片总RNA为模板,根据已报道CTLV设计引物,运用一步法RT—PCR对CTLV的CP进行扩增并克隆,并将CP克隆至表达载体pET28a(+),转化大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),经异丙基硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导表达获得表达蛋白。【结果】扩增测序结果显示,克隆产物CP区域序列全长714bp,与已报道CP核苷酸序列(GenBank序列号:FJ223212)相似性达100%.推测编码238个氨基酸,表达蛋白的大小约27kD。重组质粒经IPTG诱导表达后,SDS—PAGE分析结果显示,重组质粒高效表达约30kD蛋白,酶联免疫吸附(Enzyme—linked immuno sorbent assay,ELISA)检测结果表明,该蛋白稀释5000倍仍能与苹果茎沟病毒(Apple stem grooving virus,ASGV)抗体发生阳性反应,证实表达蛋白为CTLV的CP。【结论】克隆了CTLV的CP,通过原核表达系统高效表达了CTLV的CP,为制备CTLV抗体奠定了基础。
[Objective]The objective of the study was to obtain the coat protein of Citrus tatter leaf virus(CTLV) via the Prokaryotic Expression System. [Method]Total nucleic acids extracted from CTLV- infected trees were used as template for the amplification of CP gene by One-step reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) with a pair of specific primers. The fused expression plasmid was constructed by inserting the CP gene into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a(+) and then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The recombined protein was expressed successfully after induced by isopropyl thiogalactoside (IPTG). [ResultlSequence analysis showed that the length of CP gene was 714 base pairs, encoding 238 amino acid and expressing 27 kDa protein approximately. The sequenced CP gene showed 100% homology with the deposited CTLV CP gene (Accession No. at GenBank: FJ223212). SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that an about 30 kDa expressed protein was obtained, which was consistent with that of expected protein. Positive reaction of expressed protein diluted 5 000 times with the Apple stem grooving virus antibody was observed by ELISA(enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay), suggesting the expressed protein was the coat protein of CTLV. [Conclusion]The CP gene of CTLV was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli by Prokaryotic Expression System and the purified CP protein was suitable to the preparation of CTLV antibody.
