摘要: 耐辐射异常球菌疏水性LEA5C家族蛋白DrwH参与细胞耐受氧化和盐胁迫过程。前期研究发现,DrwH蛋白N端存在19个氨基酸组成的类信号肽序列,为探索该序列对DrwH发挥抗氧化功能的影响,本研究通过对DrwH蛋白进行分段截短,构建含有不同区段的重组大肠杆菌菌株,比较分析重组菌株在正常培养和氧化胁迫下的生长能力。结果表明,含有类信号肽序列的融合蛋白过量表达不仅抑制了大肠杆菌的生长,而且使DrwH蛋白失去抗氧化能力。荧光定量PCR显示经IPTG诱导后,含类信号肽全长蛋白DrwH和结构域蛋白WHy在转录水平大量累积,蛋白在过量积累条件下发挥其生物学功能。由此表明,类信号肽对全长蛋白DrwH表达及其发挥抗氧化功能具有重要影响。

Abstract: DrwH,a hydrophobic LEA5C protein of Deinococcus radiodurans,is involved in the process of cell tolerance to oxidative and salinity stresses. Previous studies suggest the presence of a signal peptide-like sequence of 19 amino acids in the N-terminal of DrwH protein. In order to explore the effect of the signal peptide-like sequence on the antioxidant function of DrwH,DrwH protein was truncated to different fragments and then recombinant Escherichia coli strains containing the different fragments were constructed,and their growths were analyzed and compared between normal culture and oxidative stress. The results showed that overexpression of the fusion protein containing the signal peptide-like sequence not only inhibited the growth of E. coli,but also caused DrwH protein to lose its antioxidant capacity. qRT-PCR results demonstrated that,after induction by IPTG,the full-length protein DrwH containing signal peptide-like sequence and the WHy-domain were accumulated at the transcriptional level,and the proteins exerted its biological function under excessive accumulation. This indicates that the signal peptide-like sequence presents an important influence on the expression of the full-length protein DrwH and its antioxidant function.
