Abstract:

DncV(VC0179) is the member of a new family of di-nucleotide cyclases in Vibrio cholera and it can catalyzes the synthesis of c-di-AMP,c-di-GMP and c-GAMP.c-di-GMP serves as the second messenger molecule to activate the innate immunity through STING signaling pathway.To generate c-di-GMP in vitro and further investigate its functions,we constructed the propionate-inducible VC0179 prokaryotic expression plasmid fused with cherry-Tag.The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coil BL21(DE3) and induced by propionate.The expression of recombinant protein was observed by red color.SDS-PAGE analysis was used to identify the soluble expression of recombinant protein after ultrasonic decomposition.Moreover,c-di-GMP was enzymatically synthesized in vitro with the recombinant protein purified by Ni-NTA purification system and detected by high performance liquid chromatography.We successfully constructed the propionate-inducible VC0179 prokaryotic expression plasmid and acquired the high quality fusion protein,which could catalyze the synthesis of c-di-GMP in vitro by a one-step process.These results suggested that we established a method to generate enzymatically active VC0179 recombinant protein.The synthesis of c-di-GMP in vitro could facilitate the functional study and high volume production of c-di-GMP.
