摘要: 作为小GTP酶Arf6的鸟甘酸交换因子(GEF),人EFA6A蛋白主要包含PH和Sec7两个结构域,Sec7是行使GEF功能的核心区域。通过分析Jpred、Uniprot等生物信息学软件的预测结果,从全长1 024 aa中选取的重组Sec7结构域的边界为506-719,共214 aa。以人脑cDNA文库为模板,通过优化PCR程序成功扩增出Sec7基因,经Nde I和Xho I双酶切后亚克隆至原核表达载体p28a中,成功构建p28-Sec7重组子,测序结果与NCBI中公布的序列100%吻合。将重组质粒p28- Sec7转化至BL21-Gold(DE3)宿主菌中,终浓度0.3 mmol/L IPTG、16℃、24 h诱导表达,重组蛋白经过Ni柱和分子筛两步纯化。试验结果显示,重组Sec7成功表达,性质均一,纯度高于95%,表达量为70 mg/L。

Abstract: As a GEF for the small GTPase Arf6, hEFA6A contains two domains which are pH domain and Sec7 domain. Sec7 domain is the key central domain that executes the function as a GEF. By analyzing the prediction results from Jpred and Uniprot, we chose the boundary contained 214 aa (506-719) from the full-length (1 024 aa) of hEFA6A. Sec7 gene fragment was cloned from homo brain cDNA library and ligated to p28a vector after Nde I and Xho I double digestion. Then the constructive vector p28a-Sec7 was transferred to BL21-Gold (DE3) competent cell for expression. The final concentration of IPTG was 0.3 mmol/L and E.coli cells were cultivated at 16℃ for 24 hours. The recombinant protein was then purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and GE superdexS200 gel filtration column. Our results showed that Sec7 gene and the constructive vector p28a-Sec7 were acquired successfully. The sequence of Sec7 was completely matched with the sequence reported in NCBI. We had a high expression of 70 mg/L and harvested the 95% purity target protein successfully.
