摘要:

本研究旨在克隆猪转录因子ELF4基因,体外表达ELF4蛋白并制备抗该蛋白的多克隆抗体。采用RT-PCR扩增猪ELF4基因,运用生物信息学软件分析其核苷酸和编码氨基酸序列特征,将其克隆至原核表达载体pET28a,构建重组表达载体pET28a-pELF4,转化Rosetta(DE3)菌株,在不同温度、IPTG浓度、诱导时间等条件下进行诱导表达,采用SDS-PAGE和Western blot分析蛋白表达,重组pELF4蛋白(rpELF4)经纯化免疫鸡制备抗pELF4 抗体。结果表明,pELF4开放阅读框为1 989 bp (GenBank No.:KU097322),编码662个氨基酸,该基因与已经测定的人、牛、小鼠的ELF4的核苷酸相似性依次为89.4%、90.7%和81.1%,与牛等大动物的亲缘关系相对较近,与人和小鼠亲缘关系相对较远;结果显示,成功表达了重组蛋白pELF4,rpELF4分子量为95 ku,该蛋白以可溶性和包涵体两种形式存在,在37 ℃条件下,以终浓度为0.8 mmol•L -1 IPTG诱导8 h包涵体表达量达到最高。第4次免疫后第13天,鸡抗rpELF4抗体滴度达到1︰256 000倍以上。本试验利用原核表达系统成功制备了重组pELF4蛋白,并制备了免疫活性和特异性良好的鸡抗pELF4多克隆抗体,为该蛋白生物学功能及相关疾病研究提供了基础材料。

Abstract:

This research aimed to clone and express the porcine transcription factor E74-like factor 4 (pELF4) gene in vitro and to prepare its polyclonal antibody. The pELF4 gene was cloned by RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction), and the characteristics of its nucleotides and coding amino acids were analyzed by the bioinformatics softwares. The recombinant expression vector pET28a-pELF4 was constructed by inserting the pELF4 gene into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a. Then pET28a-pELF4 was transformed into E. coli Rosetta(DE3) and to investigate its expression under different temperatures, IPTG concentrations and induction time. The expressed proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The anti-pELF4 immuno-globulin egg yolk antibody(IgY) was prepared by immunizing hens after purification of the recombination pELF4 protein (rpELF4). The results showed that the ORF (Open reading frame) of pELF4 gene (GenBank Accession number: KU097322) was 1 989 bp, coding 662 amino acids. The similarity between pELF4 gene and that of human, cattle and mouse were 89.4%, 90.7% and 81.1%, respectively, therefore it was closer to the animals such as cattle while it was further to human and mouse. The relative molecular weight of rpELF4 was 95 ku, and it existed in the form of protein and inclusion body. The amount of inclusion body reached highest when the expression combination was 37℃, 0.8 mmol•L-1 of IPTG and 8 h.The chicken anti-rpELF4 antibody titer was above 1︰256 000 fold at the 13rd days post the 4th vaccination. The recombinant protein pELF4 was successfully expressed by prokaryotic expression system, the chicken anti-pELF4 polyclonal antibodies with the wonderful activity and specifity was prepared, which provided basic material for the research of the biofunction of this protein and the related diseases.
