目的:从苦瓜籽中克隆HIV-1整合酶抑制剂MAP30,构建其表达载体,并在大肠杆菌中进行表达,用于MAP30在细胞内的转运机理研究。方法:从成熟苦瓜种子中提取基因组DNA,通过PCR的方法扩增出MAP30基因的全长,并将其克隆进入原核表达载体pET-30a,转化Eoli.BL21(DE3),IPTG诱导表达,Ni-NTA亲和纯化,梯度咪唑洗脱。MTT法分析生物学活性。结果:测序发现插入的MAP30基因序列正确,SDS-PAGE鉴定表达产物分子量正确,且MAP30主要以可溶形式表达。MTT法测定重组的MAP30具有生物学活性,且对肿瘤细胞的毒性远远大于对正常细胞的毒性。结论:本研究成功地构建了MAP30的表达系统,并实现了MAP30的可溶性表达,表达后的蛋白具有生物学活性,可用于抗体-毒素的肿瘤靶向药物的合成。
Objective: To clone and produce ribosome inactivating protein MAP30 from the seeds of Momordica charantia L(bitter melon),and to evaluate the biological activity of the recombinant protein.Methods: The DNA sequence encoding MAP30 was cloned from the fresh seeds of Momordica charantia by PCR,the target DNA fragments were sequenced after T-A cloning.The expression plasmid was constructed by inserting the MAP30 fragment into vector pET30a.MAP30 was expressed in E.coli by addition of IPTG into final concentration of 1.0 mmol/L.The recombinant MAP30 was identified by SDS-PAGE,and the biological activity of MAP30 protein was evaluated by using MTT assay in cancer cells and normal cells following fluid-phase endocytosis.Results: The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the cloned MAP30 were identical with those of reported MAP30.The solubility of recombinant protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE,and the MAP30 was mainly produced in soluble form.The recombinant MAP30 showed a greater cytotoxicity to cancer cells than that to normal cells.Conclusion: The gene of MAP30 has been successfully cloned.The recombinant MAP30 protein expressed by E.coli is bioactive.
