目的:构建人颗粒溶素(Granulysin,GNLY)基因的表达载体并在大肠杆菌中表达。方法:抽提体外培养的单个核细胞总RNA,通过RT-PCR的方法获得含有222bp的颗粒溶素cDNA,克隆到pMD18-T载体,测序正确后再亚克隆到质粒pET28a(+)中,构建重组表达质粒pET28a(+)-GNLY,在大肠杆菌中诱导表达并经Ni亲和层析纯化。用SDS-PAGE和Westernblot对表达产物进行鉴定。采用MTT法检测GNLY融合蛋白的生物学活性。结果:酶切结果证实,成功地构建了GN-LY原核表达载体,并在大肠杆菌中获得稳定的表达,表达产物的相对分子质量(Mr)同预期值相一致。结论:成功构建了重组表达质粒pET28a(+)-GNLY,并在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)plysS中表达,获得了具有良好的抗原性和特异性的GNLY融合蛋白,为下一步研究人GNLY的功能奠定了基础。
Objective: To construct a recombinant expression vector of human granulysin gene and to express it in E coli. Methods:Total RNA from cultured cells and obtained a 222bp cDNA segment with granulysin-specific primers by RT-PCR were extracted. Then the cDNA segment of granulysin was inserted into pET28a ( + ) plasmid. Expression of the recombinant protein was induced, which was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and approved by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The bioactivity of granulysin fusion protein was measured by MTT assay. Results: Restriction enzyme digestion showed that the recombinant prokaryotic expression plasmid pET28a( + )-GNLY was constructed and expressed in E coil. The relative molecular mass (Mr )of the expression product was identical with the predicted value. Conclusion:The recombinant expression plasmid pET28a( + )-GNLY has been constructed success- fully in E coil BL21 (DE3)plysS and the target protein are expressed with a fine antigenicity, which is helpful for the further study of the biological function of granulysin.
