Aequorin is a Ca-binding photoprotein that is a complex of apoaequorin (apoAQ) and 2-peroxycoelenterazine. In this study, the fusion protein (ZZ-apoAQ) composed of the synthetic IgG-binding domain (ZZ domain) derived from Staphylococcus aureus protein A and apoAQ was expressed into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli cells. ZZ-apoAQ was highly purified using Ni-chelate affinity chromatography followed by IgG affinity chromatography. ZZ-AQ was prepared from purified ZZ-apoAQ by incubation with coelenterazine and was characterized, including its luminescence properties. ZZ-AQ could be used as a reporter for detecting IgG and the measurable range of IgG coated on a 96-well plate was 1-1000 ng/mL.
水母发光蛋白是一种与钙结合的光蛋白,它是脱辅基水母发光蛋白(脱辅基 AQ)和 2-过氧腔肠素的复合物。在本研究中,由源自金黄色葡萄球菌蛋白 A 的合成 IgG 结合结构域(ZZ 结构域)和脱辅基 AQ 组成的融合蛋白(ZZ-脱辅基 AQ)被表达至大肠杆菌细胞的周质空间。ZZ-脱辅基 AQ 先通过镍螯合亲和层析,再通过 IgG 亲和层析进行高度纯化。通过与腔肠素孵育从纯化的 ZZ-脱辅基 AQ 制备 ZZ-AQ,并对其进行表征,包括其发光特性。ZZ-AQ 可用作检测 IgG 的报告分子,包被在 96 孔板上的 IgG 的可测量范围为 1 - 1000 ng/mL。
