In order to study the structure and function of beta2 microglobulin (beta2 m).
We sub-cloned the mature peptide of beta2 m into the p2X plasmid and transformed them to Escherichia coli TB1. The recombinant bacterium was induced to be expressed and the expressed fusion protein was detected by SDS-PAGE and western blot. After purifying and cleaving with Factor Xa, we separated the monomer protein beta2 m from MBP. Finally, we determined the secondary structure of the beta2 m protein by circular dichroism (CD) spectrum.
MBP-beta2 m was 52.1 kDa, and the monomer protein beta2 m was 10.6 kDa. The alpha-helix, beta-sheet, turn, and random coil of the fusion protein showed 0, 45, 8 and 45 amino acids, respectively, detected by CD estimation.
The beta2 m protein had correct secondary structure and could be used for further research of peptide binding in vitro.
为研究β2微球蛋白(β2m)的结构与功能。
我们将β2m的成熟肽亚克隆至p2X质粒,并将其转化至大肠杆菌TB1。诱导重组菌表达,通过SDS-PAGE和蛋白质免疫印迹法检测表达的融合蛋白。经纯化并用凝血因子Xa切割后,我们从麦芽糖结合蛋白(MBP)中分离出单体蛋白β2m。最后,我们通过圆二色光谱(CD)测定β2m蛋白的二级结构。
MBP-β2m为52.1 kDa,单体蛋白β2m为10.6 kDa。通过CD估算,融合蛋白的α螺旋、β折叠、转角和无规卷曲分别显示为0、45、8和45个氨基酸。
β2m蛋白具有正确的二级结构,可用于进一步的体外肽结合研究。
