目的:获得纯化的DC—SIGN蛋白,为揭示DC—SIGN参与抗原提呈的机制,探讨宿主细胞DC—SIGN蛋白和HIV、HCV、结核杆菌等病原体的相互作用机制奠定基础。方法:人DC—SIGN的cDNA克降到pGEX—KG表达载体上。转化入E.coli中通过IPTG诱导。过度表达GST-DC—SIGN融合蛋白,并使用Glutathione—Sepharose 4B亲和层析柱提取得到纯化的DC—SIGN蛋白,最后通过SDS-PAGE和Western Blot方法进行检测和鉴定。结果:酶切鉴定证实DC—SIGN基因已插入原核表达载体pGEX—KG。重组表达质粒pGEX—KG-DC—SIGN在大肠杆菌BL21中成功表达了DC—SIGN融合蛋白,其分子质量约为44kU。结论:成功构建DC—SIGN原核表达重组质粒,并提取纯化出DC-SIGN原核蛋白,为下一步研究DC—SIGN的功能奠定了基础。
Objective: To reveal the interaction between DC-SIGN on host cells and pathogens. Methods: Human DC-SIGN cDNA were cloned into prokaryotic vector pGEX-KG, and expressed as a fusion protein in E. coli BI.21 induced by IPTG. The expressed GST-DC-SIGN fusion protein were purified via GST-Sepharose 4B Column and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results: Restriction enzyme digesting and DNA sequencing confirmed that the cDNA sequence of DC-SIGN had been correctly inserted into the multi-cloning site of pGEX-KG. The protein(44 kU) was identified by DC-SiGN polyclone antibody using Western blotting. Conclusion: DC- SIGN protein were purified successfully and it lays a foundation on the research of DC-SIGN.
