Construction of prokaryotic expression vector of HPV16E6 gene and its expression / 生物医学工程学杂志

Prokaryotic expression vector of mouse HPV16E6 gene was constructed. A pair of primers were designed according to the digestion sites in plasmid pGEX-KG and the HPV16E6 gene sequence published by GenBank. The DNA fragment of 321bp was amplified by PCR from the HPV recombinant plasmid with HPV16E6 gene, then cloned into pGEX-KG and transformed into the host E. coli strain JM109. The fragment was conformed to the original sequence, which indicated that fusion expression vector pGEX-KG-HPV16E6 was constructed. The pGEX-KG-HPV16E6 plasmid was taken and transformed into BL21(DE3) for expression. Induced by IPTG at 37 degrees C, the expression product of HPV16E6 gene was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. HPV16E6 fusion protein had been expressed successfully in the form of inclusion bodies, the molecular weight of fusion protein being 38 kD. Meanwhile, the optimum condition of HPV16E6 fusion protein expression was induced with 1.0 mmol/L IPTG for 4h. The fusion protein reacted specifically with the antibodies against HPV16E6. HPV16E6 gene was successfully expressed in E. coli, which could be used as a basis for preparing HPV16E6 vaccine in human.

Cloning and Expression of HPV18 E6 Gene / 天津医药

Objective: To express the protein of HPV18E6 based on pET-32a(+) at high level and study the expression and significance of HPV18E6 proteins in laryngeal carcinoma. Methods: The HPV18E6 gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into pET-32a(+). The amplified fragment was inserted into the plasmid pET32a (+) that was digested with BamHⅠand Hind Ⅲ. The recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 was transformed into E.coli JM109 which was selected with ampicillin. The recombinant plasmids were successfully introduced into E.coli BL21(DE 3) and were induced by IPTG. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis were used to detect the confusion protein. Finally, the optimization of expression conditions, such as temperature, concentration of IPTG, was studied. Results: The recombinant plasmids were identified and confirmed with enzyme digestion and sequencing. The BL21(DE3) transformed recombinant plasmid pET32/E6 had expressed HPV18E6 recombinant protein effectively. The optimum conditions of expression were 37 ℃, 1 mmol/L IPTG. Conclusion:Prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-HPV18E6 was successfully constructed. The high-level expression of HPV18E6 was achieved in E.coli BL21(DE3).
