摘要
半胱氨酸蛋白酶(cysteine proteinase,Cys P)是一类重要的蛋白酶家族,广泛参与植物多种生理过程。为了分析植物Cys P的特性,本实验首先通过RT-PCR技术从本氏烟中扩增获得了一个编码Cys P的基因(NbCys P)序列并连接至p EASYTM-T5 Zero载体,测序验证后亚克隆至原核表达载体p GEX-6P1,命名为p GEXNb Cys P;将其导入大肠埃希菌BL21plys S中诱导表达;重组表达的Nb Cys P融合蛋白经过亲和层析纯化,免疫兔子制备多克隆抗体,Western印迹分析显示,该抗体能和重组Nb Cys P蛋白发生强烈的免疫学反应且条带单一,表明所获得的Cys P抗体具有良好的特异性。上述结果为进一步鉴定植物Cys P的功能特性奠定了基础。
Cysteine proteases( Cys Ps) are a family of important proteases that are involved in a wide range of plant physiological processes. To characterize such proteinase,a gene encoding Cys P was amplified by RT-PCR from Nicotiana benthamiana plants and ligated into p EASYTM-T5 Zero vector. The insertion was sequenced and then subcloned into the prokaryotic expression plasmid p GEX-6 P1,named as p GEX-Nb Cys P. The plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 plys S for inducible expression. The recombinant Nb Cys P fusion protein was purified with affinity chromatography and used for producing polyclonal antibody by immunizing rabbits. In immunoblotting assays,the polyclonal antibody could react strongly with the recombinant Nb Cys P protein as the presence of a single band,indicating that the antibody was specific against the proteinase. These results laid a foundation for further characterization of its function.
