备注

为了体外获得可溶性的拟南芥AtRD22蛋白,以拟南芥叶片提取的总核糖核酸(ribonucleic acid, RNA)为模版,反转录获得AtRD22的全长互补脱氧核糖核酸(complementary deoxyribonucleic acid, cDNA),分别构建AtRD22的原核重组表达载体pET32a-RD22和pSUMO-RD22,并转化大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)进行AtRD22蛋白的表达.在0.3 mmol/L的异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷(isopropyl-β-dithiogalactopyranoside, IPTG)诱导下,探索不同培养温度和诱导时间对可溶性蛋白表达的影响.结果表明,在实验条件下,转化pET32a-RD22的重组菌表达AtRD22蛋白的总量高于转化pSUMO-RD22的重组菌,但后者的可溶性AtRD22蛋白表达量明显高于前者.当诱导温度为28或16 ℃,时间分别为6.0或8.0 h以上时,转化pSUMO-RD22的重组菌中可溶性目的 蛋白的表达量相对较大.为进一步在体外研究AtRD22蛋白质的结构和功能奠定了基础.

In order to obtain the soluble AtRD22 protein of Arabidopsis in vitro, the isolated total ribonucleic acid(RNA)of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves was used as the template for reverse transcription to amplify the full length complementary deoxyribonucleic acid(cDNA)of AtRD22. The obtained AtRD22 was constructed into two recombinant prokaryotic expression vectors pET32a-RD22 and pSUMO-RD22, respectively, and transformed into E.coli cells BL21(DE3)for the fusion protein expression. The induction temperature and time were optimized by a series of experiments conducted at 0.3 mmol/L isopropyl-Dithiogalactopyranoside(IPTG). Results show that the expression level of the total amount of the recombinant proteins in the pET32a-RD22-transformants is higher than that of pSUMO-RD22-transformants, but the level of soluble fusion protein in the latter is significantly higher than in the former. When the pSUMO-RD22-transformants are inducted for 6.0 h under 28 ℃ or for more than 8.0 h under 16 ℃, the expression level of the soluble fusion protein SUMO-RD22 is relatively higher. These results lay the foundation for the future study of the structure and function of AtRD22 in vitro.
