内含肽介导的鼠多瘤病毒样颗粒生产表达和纯化

鼠多瘤病毒样颗粒(VLPs)可由结构蛋白VP1自组装而成,可用于疫苗开发、基因治疗、药物传递和生物材料等方面.针对目前VP1生产中需要凝血酶去除谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(GST)标签,生产成本较高、操作复杂的问题,利用内含肽(intein)自剪切的特征,将内含肽插入到VP1与GST标签之间进行融合表达,表达产物经亲和色谱纯化,并通过改变柱内pH值、温度诱导内含肽剪切,使VP1与GST-intein分离从而获得VP1蛋白,产量为4,mg/(L培养基).纯化的VP1可自组装成与天然鼠多瘤病毒样颗粒一致的VLPs.结果表明,内含肽介导鼠多瘤病毒样颗粒生产纯化流程简单易行,且无需凝血酶参与,大幅降低成本,为VLPs的高效制备奠定了基础.

Myristic acid is coupled to a structural protein of polyoma virus and SV40

In the lytic cycle of papova viruses, both uncoating of the viral genome after infection and assembly of functional virions take place in the cell nucleus. The mechanisms by which newly internalized virions are targeted to the nucleus and viral DNA encapsidated into particles are poorly understood. Although the major capsid protein VP1 is involved in endocytosis, and largely defines virion structure, the functions of the minor proteins VP2 and VP3 have remained obscure. Here we show that VP2 from both polyoma virus and simian virus 40 (SV40) is covalently linked to myristic acid; this is the first report of a myristylated protein in the nucleus and of a fatty acid being important in the structure of a nonenveloped virus. We consider the implications of this unusual modification on encapsidation and suggest that VP2 may be a scaffolding protein for virion assembly.     

Expression and self-assembly of Heterocapsa circularisquama RNA virus-like particles synthesized in Pichia pastoris

Heterocapsa circularisquama RNA virus(HcRNAV) is the first single-stranded RNA virus to be characterized that infects dinoflagellates.The ability of HcRNAV coat protein(HcRNAV CP) to self-assemble into virus-like particles(VLPs) in vitro suggested that heterologous expression was possible,and that the VLPs might be ideal nanocontainers for the targeted delivery of genes and chemicals.In this paper,we report the expression of a codon-optimized HcRNAV 109 CP gene in Pichia pastoris and the production of self-assembled HcRNAV VLPs using large-scale fermentation.The HcRNAV 109 CP gene was synthesized according to the codon preference of P.pastoris and cloned into a pPICZA vector.The recombinant plasmid pPICZA-CPsyns was transformed into P.pastoris by electroporation.The resulting yeast colonies were screened by PCR and analyzed for protein expression by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.After large-scale fermentation,the yield of HcRNAV CPsyns reached approximately 2.5 g L 1 within 4 d.The HcRNAV VLPs were purified using PEG precipitation followed by cesium chloride density gradient ultracentrifugation,and were subsequently analyzed using UV spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy.Fluorescence dye-labeled myoglobin was loaded into the cages of the HcRNAV VLPs and the encapsulation was confirmed by fluorescence spectroscopy.The results point to the possible utilization in pharmacology or nanotechnology of HcRNAV VLPs produced by P.pastoris fermentation.     

对虾白斑综合症病毒结构蛋白质VP24的定位研究

对虾白斑综合症病毒是一种新型的DNA病毒.VP24蛋白质是该病毒粒子的一个主要的结构蛋白质.当纯化的病毒粒子经去污剂处理后,VP24蛋白质被发现完全存在于囊膜部分,Western杂交实验也证实该结果,以上实验结果表明VP24蛋白质是病毒的一个囊膜蛋白质.利用免疫胶体金定位技术对该蛋白质的进一步研究中发现,核衣壳上未见标记的金颗粒,完整的病毒粒子上标记的金颗粒也很少,而囊膜部分破损的病毒粒子上却可观察到大量的金颗粒.我们认为VP24蛋白质是一个囊膜蛋白质,但是它的主体可能存在于病毒的囊膜和核衣壳之间.VP24蛋白质的定位研究将加速阐明病毒感染和包装的机制,并将有助于病毒的诊断和控制.

Functional identity of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and a DNA polymerase-delta auxiliary protein

The mechanism of replication of the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome closely resembles that of cellular chromosomes, thereby providing an excellent model system for examining the enzymatic requirements for DNA replication. Only one viral gene product, the large tumour antigen (large-T antigen), is required for viral replication, so the majority of replication enzymes must be cellular. Indeed, a number of enzymatic activities associated with replication and the S phase of the cell cycle are induced upon SV40 infection. Cell-free extracts derived from human cells, when supplemented with immunopurified SV40 large-T antigen support efficient replication of plasmids that contain the SV40 origin of DNA replication. Using this system, a cellular protein of relative molecular mass 36,000 (Mr = 36K) that is required for the elongation stage of SV40 DNA replication in vitro has been purified and identified as a known cell-cycle regulated protein, alternatively called the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) or cyclin. It was noticed that, in its physical characteristics, PCNA closely resembles a protein that regulates the activity of calf thymus DNA polymerase-delta. Here we show that PCNA and the polymerase-delta auxiliary protein have similar electrophoretic behaviour and are both recognized by anti-PCNA human autoantibodies. More importantly, both proteins are functionally equivalent; they stimulate SV40 DNA replication in vitro and increase the processivity of calf thymus DNA polymerase-delta. These results implicate a novel animal cell DNA polymerase, DNA polymerase-delta, in the elongation stage of replicative DNA synthesis in vitro.

The cell-cycle regulated proliferating cell nuclear antigen is required for SV40 DNA replication in vitro

Cell-free extracts prepared from human 293 cells, supplemented with purified SV40 large-T antigen, support replication of plasmids containing the SV40 origin of DNA replication. A cellular protein (Mr approximately 36,000) that is required for efficient SV40 DNA synthesis in vitro has been purified from these extracts. This protein is recognized by human autoantibodies and is identified as the cell-cycle regulated protein known as proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) or cyclin.
