Embodiment 1

[0092] Example 1: Expression vector construction and host cell transformation

[0093] Construction and Design of Escherichia coli / Bacillus subtilis Expression Shuttle Vector

[0094] pRB374 and pBR322 were used as the starting vector of E. coli / Bacillus subtilis expression shuttle vector [14]. Specifically, pECBS1 was constructed by the following modification steps: first, pRB374 (5.9 kb) was digested with SalI and BglII; T7 ribonucleic acid polymerase-Lac promoter-LacI gene-LacI q The promoter-bleomycin resistance gene-partial neomycin resistance gene fragment (5.3kb) was substituted to form pECBSi vector. Then, the formed pECBSi vector and pBR322 vector were digested with EcoRI and BglI, respectively, and the pECBSi digested fragment was replaced with the fragment obtained by digesting pBR322 (4.3 kb), thereby forming the pECBS1 shuttle vector.

[0099] Example 2: Expression of bFGF

[0100] shake flask culture

[0101] B. subtilis transformants were grown at 37°C (250 rpm) in 200 ml 2x LB medium supplemented with 25 μg / ml kanamycin [15]. When the A600 value reached 1.0, IPTG was added at a final concentration of 0.2 mM, and then 1 ml of culture samples were collected at 3-hour intervals for bFGF expression analysis. The cell pellet was resuspended in 200 μl of resuspension buffer (50 mM Tris-Cl, 200 mM EDTA, pH 8.0) and incubated on ice for 5 minutes. The mixture was then treated with 120 μl of lysozyme solution (10 mg / mL) for 20 minutes at 37°C. Then 80 μl of lysis buffer (10 mM EDTA, 10% Triton X-100 and 50 mM Tris-Cl, pH 8.0) was added. The tube containing the solution was gently inverted and then centrifuged at 14,800 rpm for 5 minutes. Cell lysate samples were analyzed by Western blot for bFGF protein expression.

Embodiment 3

[0109] Example 3: Purification and structural determination of bFGF protein

[0110] Cation exchange chromatography and heparin-agarose chromatography were used to purify bFGF. First, the protein concentration of the eluted fractions was measured using a Nanodrop Microvolume spectrophotometer. In addition, eluted fractions with significant readings (approximately 1 mg / ml) were pooled and dialyzed against 0.1x PB. Afterwards, the purified bFGF band was obtained by electrophoresis on a 10% SDS-PAGE gel stained with Coomassie brilliant blue R-250. The band containing bFGF protein in the SDS-PAGE gel was recovered for subsequent analysis by LC-MS.

[0111] The results of Western blot analysis showed that the soluble bFGF protein extracted from the lysate had the same molecular weight as the bFGF protein purchased from Thermofisher Scientific ( FIG. 4 ). Purified bFGF protein samples were subjected to N-terminal and C-terminal protein sequencing and MALDI-TOF mass determination ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a human basic fibroblast growth factor by using bacillus subtilis and endonuclease. Specifically, the invention provides a nucleic acid construct which comprises an insert, the insert comprises, from the 5' end to the 3' end, a polynucleotide sequence encoding an oligopeptide affinity tag, a trans-spliced intein derived from Anabaena sp., and an exogenous polypeptide, wherein the oligopeptide affinity tag is used as the N-terminal exon peptide of the trans-spliced intein, and the exogenous polypeptide is used as the C-terminal exon peptide of the trans-spliced intein. The invention also provides an expression vector and a host cell containing the construct, and a method for producing and purifying the foreign protein. According to the expression system and method, the expression efficiency of the foreign protein with biological activity can be remarkably improved, the generation of inclusion bodies is reduced, the purification step is simplified, the purification cost is greatly reduced, and the expression system and method are particularly suitable for large-scale culture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biology, and generally to systems and methods for expressing exogenous polypeptides. Background technique [0002] Efficient and cost-effective expression of native forms of foreign polypeptides, especially cytokines, is increasingly important for the study of cell biology such as stem cells. Take human basic fibroblast growth factor (basic fibroblast growth factor, bFGF for short, also called FGF2) as an example. bFGF, a member of the fibroblast growth factor family, has diverse therapeutic uses in neurodegenerative diseases, heart disease, and difficult-to-heal wound lesions [1-3]. In addition, bFGF plays an important role in tissue development by inducing the proliferation of fibroblasts and stem cells [4-8], and it also plays an important role in the mass production of stem cells. However, the high production cost and low yield of bFGF protein currently hinder its commercial application in the pharmac...
