Construction and expression of expressive vector of binding protein 4 spliced variant HBeBP4A of HBeAg in yeast cell / 解放军医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the exact function of HBeBP4A so as to investigate the gene expression of HBeBP4A in yeast cell.Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was employed to amplify the gene of HBeBP4A from recombinant plasmids pcDNA 3.1/myc-HisA-HBeBP4A,and the gene was cloned into pGEM-T vector.The gene of HBeBP4A was cut from pGEM-T-HBeBP4A vector and cloned into yeast expressive plasmid pGBKT7,and pGBKT7-HBeBP4A was then transformed into yeast AH109.The yeast protein was isolated and analyzed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDS-PAGE)and Western blotting hybridization.Results HBeBP4A gene was successfully amplified and identified by DNA sequencing.The digested fragment was cloned into pGBKT7 vector and transformed into yeast cell AH109.The SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assay showed that the relative molecular weight of the expressed product was about 61.37kD,and HBeBP4A protein existed in yeast cells.Conclusion The findings suggested that HBeBP4A was successfully expressed into yeast system.
