目的克隆金黄葡萄球菌表而蛋白凝集因子A(ClfA)活性基因,并进行原核表达。方法以金黄葡萄球菌基因组DNA为模板,采用PCR方法扩增ClfA(221—550)活性基因,克隆入载体pET28a(+)中,构建重组表达质粒pET28a—ClfA(221—550),转化感受态大肠杆菌BI.21(DE3),IPTG诱导表达,并对表达产物进行SDS—PAGE和Western blot分析。结果PCR扩增出987bp的目的基因片段,重组表达质粒经双酶切证明构建正确。表达产物经SDS—PAGE分析,在相对分子质量约36000处可见目的条带,目的蛋白表达量约占菌体总蛋白的36.76%,且具有良好的反应原性。结论已成功克隆了金黄葡萄球菌ClfA活性基因,并在大肠杆菌BI.21(DE3)中表达了目的蛋白.
Objective To clone the clumping factor A (ClfA) active gene of Stapylococcus aureus and express in prokaryotic cells. Methods ClfA (221-550) active gene was amplified by PCR using the genomic DNA of Stapylococcus aureus as a template and cloned into vector pET28a (+). The constructed recombinant plasmid pET28a-ClfA (221-550) was transformed to competent E.coli BL21 (DE3) for expression under induction of IPTG. The expressed product was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results The target gene fragment at a length of 987 bp was amplified by PCR. Restriction analysis proved that recombinant plasmid pET28a- ClfA (221-550) was constructed correctly. The target protein band with a relative molecular mass of about 36 000 was observed on SDS-PAGE profile. The expressed product contained about 36. 76% of total somatic protein and showed good reactogenicity. Conclusion The ClfA active gene of Stapylococcus aureus was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3).
