To investigate the protein-protein interaction between ESAT-6 and CFP-10 of mycobacterium tuberculosis.
ESAT-6 gene and CFP-10 gene were amplified from mycobacterium tuberculosis genome DNA. The ESAT-6 gene was subcloned into pGBKT7 and the CFP-10 gene was subcloned into pGADT7-Rec. After being verified with restriction endonuclease digestion and DNA sequencing, the recombinant vectors were transformed into yeast cell AH109 by lithium acetate method.
The yeast cells co-transformed with pGBKT7-ESAT-6 and pGADT7-CFP-10 grew on SD/-Ade/-His/-Leu/-Trp plates, and beta-galactosidase activity assays showed positive results.
ESAT-6 and CFP-10 protein could interact with each other in yeast cells.
研究结核分枝杆菌ESAT-6与CFP-10之间的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用。
从结核分枝杆菌基因组DNA中扩增ESAT-6基因和CFP-10基因。将ESAT-6基因亚克隆到pGBKT7中,将CFP-10基因亚克隆到pGADT7-Rec中。经限制性内切酶消化和DNA测序验证后,通过醋酸锂法将重组载体转化到酵母细胞AH109中。
共转化pGBKT7-ESAT-6和pGADT7-CFP-10的酵母细胞在SD/-Ade/-His/-Leu/-Trp平板上生长,β-半乳糖苷酶活性测定显示阳性结果。
ESAT-6和CFP-10蛋白在酵母细胞中可相互作用。
