Full textis an innovative approach based on the reassembly of protein fragments which directly report interactions. In our study we implemented this technique for detecting and visualizing the GPCR interactions in yeast cells. The enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) fractionated into two fragments at genetic level which does not possess fluorescent function. The target proteins which are going to be tested in terms of interaction are modified with the non-functional fragments, to produce the fusion proteins. The interaction between two target proteins, in this study Ste2p receptors which are alpha pheromone receptors from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enable the fragments to come in a close proximity and reassemble. After reassembly, EGFP regains its fluorescent function which provides a direct read-out for the detection of interaction. Further studies are required to determine subcellular localization of the interaction. Moreover, by using the fusion protein partners constructed in this study, effects of agonist/antagonist binding and post-translational modifications such as glycosylation and phosphorylation can be examined. Apart from all, optimized conditions for BiFC technique will guide for revealing new protein-protein interactions.

Full textNyttjandet av fluorescerande proteiner som markörer har exploderat de senaste årtionden. Speciellt till följd av utvecklingen av avancerad mikroskopi för levande cellmätningar, dynamiska molekylära studier ned till enstaka molekylnivåer och för superupplösnings mikroskopi. Många varianter av fluorescerande proteiner förekommer med varierande egenskaper så som färg, fotostabilitet och ljusstyrka. Dessa proteiner möjliggör avancerade applikationer, som tidsupplöst bildgivning eller bildgivning med upplösning under diffraktionsgränsen. Fotofysiken bakom fluorescerande proteiner är komplex och i många aspekter ganska outforskad. Triplettillståndet är ett centralt fotofysiskt tillstånd eftersom det är en ingångsport till en rad skadliga fotokemiska processer som äventyrar fotostabiliteten hos fluorescerance proteiner.Pixelteamet på Institute de Biologie Structurale i Frankrike, fokuserar huvudsakligen på utveckling av fluorescerande proteiner för avancerad fluorescerande bildgivning. Ett av målen är att förstå hur fotokemi påverkar egenskaperna hos fluorescerande proteiner.I det här projektet har en metod för att indirekt observera triplettillståndet i det prototypiska fluorescerande proteinet EGFP utvecklats. Introduktionen av ny hårdvara och mjukvara, i kombination med biofysikaliska experiment, krävde en interdisiplinär strategi för att tackla utmaningarna under vägens gång. Experiment under olika miljömässiga förhållanden gjordes för att testa hur populationen av triplettillståndet påverkas till följd av viskositet, pH, UV och infrarött ljus, triplettillståndshämmare och temperatur.Resultaten visar att temperatur och lasereffekt har en stor påverkan på triplettillståndet och dess kinetik hos EGFP. Noterbart är att triplettillståndets livstid ökar kraftigt i kryotemperatur i jämförelse med rumstemperatur. Sammanfattningsvis så utvecklades en ny experimentel uppställning och de tidiga resultaten från EGFP har öppnat dörren för nya studier rörande de fotofysiska egenskaperna hos fluorescerande proteiner.

A Escherichia coli se destaca dentre a gama de microrganismos que agem como hospedeiros de genes, desempenhando a função de codificar a síntese proteica. Os vetores mais veiculados na produção de proteínas recombinantes em E. coli são baseados no operon lac, onde o isopropil β-D1-tio-galactopiranosídeo (IPTG), análogo a molécula de lactose, é utilizado para a indução da produção da proteína de interesse. Estudos descritos na literatura também observaram o bom desempenho da lactose como agente de indução da E. coli recombinante na expressão de proteína verde fluorescente melhorada (Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein – EGFP), e suas vantagens quando comparada ao IPTG, como por exemplo menor custo e menor toxicidade. A EGFP se tornou promissora pelo fato de ser monomérica e não precisar de auxilio de quaisquer agentes adicionais para exibir atividade de fluorescência. Possui variadas utilidades no campo biológico como excelente biomarcador da expressão genica e biosensor. Em bioprocessos, operados em biorreatores convencionais é fundamental o estudo dos parâmetros interferentes nos cultivos para a otimização da expressão do produto desejado.

Abstract: Advances in biotechnology have provided possibilities to the performance of large-scale of biomolecules and therefore of their industrial applications. Escherichia coli stands out among microorganisms that act as host genes, functioning as a synthetic protein. The most useful vectors for the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli are based on the operon lac, where isopropyl β-D1-thiogalactopyroside (IPTG), analogous to lactose, is used to induce the production of proteins of interest. Studies in the literature have also observed the good performance of lactose as an inducer of recombinant E. coli in the expression of Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP), and its advantages when compared to IPTG, such as lower cost and toxicity. EGFP becomes promising because it is monomeric and does not need to help the main agents for fluorescence activity. It has several uses in the biological field as an excellent biomarker of gene expression and biosensor. In bioprocesses, operated in conventional bioreactors, it is fundamental to study the interfering parameters in the cultures to optimize the expression of the desired product. Oxygenation in aerobically conducted processes is also a challenging task in conventional bioreactors, with control of the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the culture medium is essential, which may be limiting for growth and expression of the protein of interest. In processes of production of heterologous proteins, it is assumed that the productiv... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Full textPhospholipases D (PLD) from spider venom of the genus Loxosceles are capable of causing, among other effects, a strong aggregation of platelets and its mechanism has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, to study the role of PLDs in this activity, a recombinant L. gaucho PLD (LgRec1) was fused with a green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and used as a probe to detect the interaction of LgRec1 with platelets. This chimera, named EGFP-LgRec1, remained the main activities of LgRec1. Platelet confocal microscopy has shown that LgRec1 does not require plasma components to bind to platelets, although these are required for LgRec1 to induce aggregation. In addition, it has been observed that the action of LgRec1 leads to exposures of phosphatidylserine. However, this exposure is not related to cell death. Therefore, this work showed that a Loxosceles PLD binds to platelets, promoting an exposure of phosphatidylserine, that may act as a scaffold for coagulation factors, resulting in platelet aggregation.

The Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) family constitutes 19 members that mediate diverse biological functions in a variety of cellular systems. The TNF family members regulate cellular functions through binding to membrane-bound receptors belonging to the TNF receptor (TNFR) family. The tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) superfamily. TRAIL and its receptors are the most important role of programmed cell death. TRAIL has been reported to specifically kill various cancer cells but to be not toxic for the majority of normal cells. This was a very favorable point in the application of gene therapy. AID peptides were a new transduction system which was able to deliver biological molecules, for example, protein or DNA. To evaluate the antitumor activity and therapeutic value of the TRAIL gene, we constructed a plasmid DNA and transfected it into malignant cells by arginine-rich intracellular peptides (AID peptides). We demonstrated that AID peptides could deliver the plasmid DNA into cancer cells effectively to induce the cancer cells apoptosis phenomenon. In the future, deliver TRAIL with AID peptides may become an effective non-invasive gene therapy.

Heparin-binding hemagglutinin adhesin (HBHA) is a 28 kDa heparin-binding mycobacterial protein expressed on the surface of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The C-terminal domain of HBHA dominates adherence to epithelial cells and mediates extra-pulmonary dissemination. The C-terminal region is identified with two repeated motifs : KKAAPA (R1) and KKAAAKK (R2) . In our previous study, one peptide with the sequence of 1R1+2R2 named HBHAc showed the good ability of cell binding, uptake and transport in A549 and Caco-2 cell line. To understandthe the ability and mechanism of HBHAc in protein delivery, enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) fused with HBHAc was used in this study. Fisrt, we used nickel-nitrilotriactic acid (Ni-NTA) to purify histidine tagged EGFP or HBHAc-EGFP overexpressed in E. coli BL21. The human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HepG2, was used as an in vitro model. We utilized MTT assay to examine whether the cell viability is affected by recombinant EGFP and HBHAc-EGFP, respectively. We further analyzed the uptake efficiency of HBHAc-EGFP by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Immunofluorescence assay was used to investigate the intracellular distribution of HBHAc-EGFP. We also applied chloroquine to investigate the escape of HBHAc-EGFP from endolysosomal pathway. The cellular uptake mechanism of HBHAc-EGFP was studied by studying the effect of different temperature, endocytosis inhibitors, and membrane interaction competitors. Based on SDS-PAGE analysis, EGFP and HBHAc-EGFP recombinant protein was obtained with high purity after purification. No cytotoxicity of both protiens was found in HepG2 cells after 24 h incubation at concentration up to 10 μM. Based on the results of flow cytometry, HBHAc-EGFP efficienctly entered into above 95% of total cells and the mean fluorescence intensity was 25.43 a.u. after 1 h incubation at 1 μM concentration. On the contrary, EGFP only entered into 2% of total cells and the mean fluorescence intensity was 2.97 a.u. under the same condition. Based on the confocal microscopy images, after 1 h incubation at 10 μM concentration, HBHAc-EGFP treated cells showed obvious green fluorescence in the cytoplasm and barely detectable signals were observed in the EGFP treated cells. Furthermore, the transduction of HBHAc-EGFP occurred rapidly and the mean fluorescence intensity gradually intensified until about 1 h of incubation based on the results of flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. However, the mean fluorescence intensity decreased significantly after 2 h incubation. According to the results of immunofluorescence assay, the internalized HBHAc-EGFP was co-localized with early endosome antigen-1 (EEA1) but was not co-localized with caveolin-1. In the endolyosomal blockade assay, HepG2 cells were treated with HBHAc-EGFP and chloroquine for 1 h and replaced with new medium with chloroquine for a period of time. The mean fluorescence intensity measured by flow cyometry remained until 12 h in chloroquine treated cells but dropped dramatically within 1 h in non-chloroquine treated cells. It suggests that chloroquine could effectively block the endolysosomal degradation of HBHAc-EGFP in HepG2 cells. Furthermore, the cellular uptake of HBHAc-EGFP was significantly decreased when cells were incubated at 4℃ or 16℃. In the endocytosis inhibition assay, the entry of HBHAc-EGFP was inhibited by 40% in chlorpromazine treated cells, and methyl-β-cyclodextrin and amiloride only showed about 20% of inhibition. Besides, membrane competitors, heparin and dextran sulfate, greatly reduced the internalization of HBHAc-EGFP up to 90%. These results suggest that the internalization of HBHAc-EGFP fusion protein in HepG2 cells is mostly via clathrin-mediated endocytosis through interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans on the plasma membrane. Furthermore, most internalized HBHAc-EGFP was distributed in the endosome and degraded through endolysosmal pathway. However, our previous study showed that HBHAc may utilize direct transduction or lipid-raft endocytosis. In addition, membrane interaction competitors inhibit the cellular uptake of HBHAc-EGFP more effectively than the cellular uptake of HBHAc. HBHAc can effectively deliver EGFP into cells without disrupting the activity of EGFP and no obvious cytototoxicity was observed at the concentrations used for delivering EGFP. Due to the degradation of HBHAc-EGFP by endolysosomal pathway, appropriate endosomal escape strategies are needed for HBHAc to be used as a potiential protein carrier.

Interleukin 10 (IL-10), expressed mostly in T cells, B cells and macrophages, is a pleiotropic growth and differentiation factor of B cells. It can inhibit the secretion of Th1 cytokines by monocyte, macrophage, and T cells, and exert consequently an important regulatory role in cytokine networks. In order to understand how the expression of IL-10 is regulated, enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) based reporter plasmids under the control of IL-10 promoter sequences were constructed. The DNA fragment spanning from -1212 to -19 region of IL-10 gene was amplified by PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing. Three IL-10 promtoer clones showing different length in "AC" dinucleotide repeat (32, 36, and 64 bp) were obtained. Two additional clones containing DNA fragment spanning from -746 to -19 or from -558 to -19 were also created. The function of these reporter plasmids had been analyzed in B cell lines: BJAB, and B95/8; T cell lines: Jurkat and Molt-4; and monocyte cell lines: U937 and HL-60. The expression of EGFP was observed directly by fluorescent microscopy and quantitiatively measured by FACScan and fluorescence spectrophotometer. Our results showed that IL-10 promoter was constitutively activated in BJAG, B95/8, and Jurkat but not in Molt-4 and HL-60. DNA transfection caused death of U937 cells. IL-10 reporter activity reduced along with the increasing of the length of the "AC" dinucleotide repeat. The sequences located -1212 to -746 and -746 to -558 showed postitive regulatory activity in BJAB, B95/8, and Jurkat cells. Treatments with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), calcium ionophore (A23187), or PMA combined A23187 had no significant effects on the IL-10 reporter expression in Jurkat and Molt-4 cells. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) had no effect on BJAB, B95-8, and HL-60. The expression of EGFP in the tested cell lines was not effected by dehydroepiandrosterone. Although the PMA or LPS could not augment the reporter activities in our tested cell lines, it increased the IL-10 mRNA expression in Jurkat and U937 cells as detected by RT-PCT. These results suggested that there were still some other regulatory elements on IL-10 promoter upstream of -1212 or downstream -of 19.

IL-10 is an important immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory cytokine. It is mainly produced by T cells, B cells and macrophages in vivo. It can inactivate macrophages and dendritic cells to loss the ability in T and NK cells activation due to inhibition of cytokines synthesis, MHC class II presentation, and costimulator expression. In constract, it promotes B cells and mast cells differentiation and proliferation. Besides, it involves in the tumorgenesis of comman tumors and in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. To understand how it is regulated, especially on IL-10 promoter, we constructed reporter plasmids using the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) under the control of IL-10 promoter sequences spanning from -1212 to -19 (pEGFP10p), from -746 to -19(pEGFPd3), and from -558 to -19 (pEGFPd) regions. We established Jurkat and BJAB cell lines stably containing EGFP-reporter plasmids under the selection by G418. EGFP expressions driven by the three different fragments of IL-10 promoter were analyzed in the stable cells upon treatments with mitogens, forskolin, cyclosporine A, dexamethasone, staurosporine, and active Ras overexpression. Besides, we also analyzed dynamic EGFP-expression in stable cells when cocultured with Jurkat, BJAB, U-937 cells, hepatoma cells, glioma cells, and peripheral mononuclear cells and plasma of healthy people or SLE patients. We found that the IL-10 promtoer activities were differentially regulated in BJAB and Jurkat cells upon mitogen and chemical agents. In coculture experiments, activated Jurkat, BJAB and U-937 enhanced the activities of IL-10 promoter in BJAB stable cells but not that in Jurkat stable cells. Glioma cells enhanced the IL-10 promoter activity of pEGFP10p in Jurkat stable cells and suppressed that in BJAB stable cells. Hepatoma cells suppressed the IL-10 promoter activity of pEGFP10p but not that of pEGFPd3 and pEGFPd in BJAB stable cells. PBMC and plasma of SLE patients had various effects on IL-10 promoter activity. In conclusion, the activities of IL-10 promoter in Jurkat and BAJB cells were differently regulated. The stable cells with EGFP reporter plasmids may serve as a convenient biosensor system to study the gene regulation.

The method development for direct capture of His-tag enhanced green fluorescent protein (His-EGFP) from unclarified E.coli homogenates using stirred fluidized bed (SFB) has been described. Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) metal ion were evaluated in immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) for the recovery of His-EGFP. Immobilized Ni(II) chelating adsorbent was found to be the most effective for capture of His-EGFP. The adsorption characteristic of Ni(II)-STREAMLINE chelating adsorbent used in this work for total protein and His-EGFP in unclarified E.coli homogenates has been assessed by the measurements of equilibrium adsorption isotherm and uptake rate. Optimal conditions for the elution of His-EGFP were also investigated in packed bed experiments conducted with clarified E.coli homogenates. On the basis of the results, direct capture of His-EGFP from unclarified E.coli homogenates by SFB was carried out under the different loading volumes (50-200 ml). The purification results showed that the His-EGFP was directly recovered using 150 mM Imidazol buffer (pH 7) from unclarified E.coli homogenate with a purification factor of 2.04 and yield of 73.6% in the single step. Other contaminants were completely eluted by using 25 mM EDTA ( pH 7).

In this work, polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane (PAN) was prepared by using electrostatic spinning technique. After a series of treatment for the PAN membrane, the modified membrane was finally functionalized with bromoacetic acidic (BrA), and iminodiacetic acidic (IDA) groups, respectively. The modified membranes wre chelated by Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), or Zn(II) as immobilized metal affinity nanofibrous (IMAN) membrane (abbrev. BrA-M or IDA-M). Recombinant E. coli cells containing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) was disrupted by ultrasonic technique. The isotherm and kinetic adsorption experiments were carried out by using clarified feedstock in a bath stirred tank system. The isotherm data for general protein and EGFP were well correlated by the Freundlich model for both IMAN membranes chelated by these metal ions. In kinetic experiments, the kinetic data for IMAN membrane were tested by using pseudo-first-order reaction and pseudo-second-order models. Generally speaking, the kinetic studies for general protein and EGFP showed that the adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order reaction. Its rate constant k2 increased with increasing concentrations of adsorption, indicating that the increased concentration of E. coli sample accelerated the adsorption rate. In membrane adsorption chromatography for both IMAN membranes, the dynamic binding capacity (DBC) was evaluated by adsorption breakthrough curve and calculated under different chelated metal ions and flow rates, respectively. The DBC for IMAN membrane was found to be lower at higher operating flow rate. For IDA-M adsorption process at a flow rate of 0.1 ml/min, the order of DBC for the general protein was Co(II) (40.0 mg/g)= Zn(II) (40.0 mg/g )> Cu(II) (16.2 mg/g)> Ni(II) (16.2 mg/g); the order of DBC for EGFP was Co(II) (5.77×106 AU/g)> Zn(II) (4.77×106 AU/g)> Cu(II) (3.47×106 AU/g)> Ni(II) (2.73×106 AU/g). However, for BrA-M adsorption process at the same flow rate, the order of DBC for the general protein was Ni(II) (31.6 mg/g)> Cu(II) (27.4 mg/g )> Zn(II) (21.4 mg/g)> Co(II) (10.6 mg/g); the order of DBC for EGFP was Ni(II) (8.25×106 AU/g)> Cu(II) (4.90×106 AU/g)> Co(II) (3.60×106 AU/g)> Zn(II) (3.41×106 AU/g). Based on the adsorption breakthrough curves, the results showed that IDA-M or BrA-M as IMAN membrane was not suitable for use in the purification of EGFP by using membrane chromatography.

In this study, the optimal conditions for the production of recombinant enhanced green fluorescent protein (His-EGFP) expressed in Escherivhia coli BL21 (DE3) grown in LB media were investigated in a shaker flask. Firstly, five key parameters (e.g. induction concentration, induction time, culture pH, culture time, and induction temperature) were investigated by single factor tests to find the operating range for applying to full factorial design (FFD). The results indicated that induction time and culture time have a significant effect on EGFP production. Secondly, response surface methodlogy (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was applied to obtain the optimal conditions for the production of EGFP. The optimal conditions was found to be induction concentration of 1 mM, induction time of 12 hr, culture pH of 5,culture time of 20 hr, and culture temperature of 20℃. Under optimal conditions, the model predicted EGFP intensity was 1.278×105 U/ml which is equal to the average experimental value of 1.275×105 U/ml. The obtained optimal environmental conditions were then employed to scale up for EGFP production in a 5 L bioreactor.

In this study, experimental design was used to optimize the environmental factors for the production of EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein). A 2-level-3-factor fractional factorial design (FFD) was employed to evaluate the effects of operating parameters on EGFP production at a shaker rate of 230 rpm, such as initial culture pH, induction time, and induction temperature. The individual and interactive effects of the three independent variables on the production of EGFP were studied and the optimal EGFP production was found to be at initial pH of 7.0, induction time at 1.75 h after cultivation (OD600 approach to 0.7–0.9), and induction temperature of 26℃. The obtained optimal environmental conditions were then employed to scale up for EGFP production in a 5 L bioreactor. Subsequently, the collected cells were suspended with buffer and disrupted by high pressure homogenizer for three cycles at 20 Kpsi and 4℃. The release of EGFP and total protein from 50% (w/v) disrupted cells was 7.05×104 AU/ml and 36.86 mg/ml, respectively. The ion exchange adsorbent (i.e. STREAMLINE DEAE) was further used to evaluate the adsorption efficiency for EGFP from highly unclarified E. coli feedstock (50% w/v). The effects of rotating speed (0-200 rpm) and feedstock velocity (100-300 cm/h) on the adsorption efficiency were investigated by using stirred fluidized bed chromatography. The results showed that the optimal operating conditions were found to be rotating speed of 100 rpm and feedstock velocity of 100 cm/h.

Statistics based experimental designs were used to optimize the medium components and environmental factors for EGFP production. Preliminary studies on the factors enabled identification of night variables important with respect to EGFP production. The most important factors with respect to E. coli BL21 was then identified using the 2-level fractional factorial design. In general, glucose, tryptone, peptone, NaCl, Na2HPO4, KH2PO4, MgSO4•7H2O, CaCl2•2H2O and trace elements affected EGFP production. CCD was used for model building and glucose and FeSO4 were found to have an effect on EGFP production in E. coli. The optimal values of important variables were determined by response surface methodology (RSM). The optimal conditions for the production of EGFP were as follows 4.215 g/L glucose,2.750 g/L tryptone,1.375 g/L peptone,4.750 g/L NaCl,6 g/L Na2HPO4,10.5 g/L KH2PO4, 1.01 g/L MgSO4•7H2O,0.039 g/L CaCl2•2H2O,0.297 mg/L FeSO4,1 mg/L CuSO4,1 mg/L NiSO4. This optimization strategy led to an increase in EGFP production in the E. coli by 333.1% as compared modified M9 medium developed by Lu (2007).

An improved procedure was developed involving a stirred fluidized bed (SFB) adsorption for direct recovery of recombinant enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) from unclarified E. coli homogenates. The maximal binding capacity of STREAMLINE DEAE adsorbent for EGFP was observed at pH 9. A typical adsorption isotherm curve for EGFP in a crude E. coli homogenate was well correlated with the Langmuir model. The maximal binding capacity for EGFP and dissociation constant for EGFP-adsorbent complex were 6.3mg/ ml and 1.3x10-3 mg/ ml respectively. Optimal conditions for elution scheme were further determined in small packed bed experiments conducted with clarified E.coli homogenate under the various operating conditions. The recovery yield for the EGFP was approximately 93% by using 0.2 M NaCl (pH 9) and 10 fold adsorbent volumes at liquid velocity of 200 cm/h. The operating conditions were chosen for use in further purification process. Finally, the experiments were carried out to assess the feasibility of using SFB chromatography for direct recovery of EGFP from different loading volumes (50-200 ml) of highly crude E.coli homogenate (pH 9). It was found to be successful in achieving purification of EGFP in a high yield of 95-98% and the purification factor was approx. 3 in a single step under these loading volumes of E. coli homogenates at a rotating speed of 200 rpm.
