帕金森病(Parkinson’s disease,PD)涉及两种蛋白——α-synuclein蛋白(SNCP)与14-3-3蛋白。通过重组,将这两种蛋白在大肠杆菌DH5α中表达,通过谷胱甘肽-Sepharose 4B亲和层析将其纯化,得到GST-14-3-3蛋白;利用凝血酶对纯化的融合蛋白GST-SNCP切割,再经谷胱甘肽-Sepharose 4B亲和层析获得SNCP.通过免疫共沉淀、GST pull down和ELISA等技术,证明SNCP能够与14-3-3蛋白结合;为了进一步证明SNCP也与在脑组织中的天然14-3-3蛋白发生作用,利用His pull down方法进行实验.结果证明,SNCP能够和脑组织中的14-3-3蛋白发生相互作用.这些结果从分子水平提供了SNCP与14-3-3蛋白相互作用的实验证据,为进一步了解SNCP的结构和功能,及其在中枢神经系统退行性疾病的作用提供了必要的实验基础.
Recombinant α-synuclein protein (SNCP) and 14-3-3 protein, two proteins implicated in Parkinson' s disease (PD), were expressed in E. coli DH 5α and purified by glutathione-Sepharose-4B. Purified GST-14-3-3 protein and SNCP were obtained by cleavage with thrombin. To investigate the interaction between SNCP and 14-3-3 protein, immuno-precipitation, GST pull-down and ELISA tests were used. The results showed that the purified full length SNCP interacted with 14-3-3 protein. The possible interaction between native protein extracts from brain tissues was observed. Further His pull-down experiments verified evidences of molecular interaction between SNCP and endogenously expressed 14-3-3 proteins. These results propose reliable experimenta data for the molecular interaction of SNCP with 14-3-3 protein in vivo, and provide experimental foundation for further study of SNCP' s biological functions and pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders.
