Nitrogenase in some bacteria and archaea catalyzes conversion of N to ammonia. To reconstitute a nitrogenase biosynthetic pathway in a eukaryotic host is still a challenge, since synthesis of nitrogenase requires a large number of (trogen ixation) genes. Viral 2A peptide mediated "cleavage" of polyprotein is one of strategies for multigene co-expression. Here, we show that cleavage efficiency of NifB-2A-NifH polyprotein linked by four different 2A peptides (P2A, T2A, E2A, and F2A) in ranges from ~50% to ~90%. The presence of a 2A tail in NifB, NifH, and NifD does not affect their activity. Western blotting shows that 9 Nif proteins (NifB, NifH, NifD, NifK, NifE, NifN, NifX, HesA, and NifV) from that are fused into two polyproteins 2A peptides are co-expressed in . . Expressed NifH from NifU and NifS and . NifH fusion linked 2A in . exhibits Fe protein activity.
一些细菌和古细菌中的固氮酶催化将N转化为氨。在真核宿主中重建固氮酶生物合成途径仍然是一项挑战,因为固氮酶的合成需要大量(固氮)基因。病毒2A肽介导的多聚蛋白“切割”是多基因共表达的策略之一。在这里,我们表明,由四种不同的2A肽(P2A、T2A、E2A和F2A)连接的NifB-2A-NifH多聚蛋白在[具体范围]中的切割效率在约50%至约90%之间。NifB、NifH和NifD中2A尾巴的存在不影响它们的活性。蛋白质免疫印迹显示,来自[具体来源]的9种Nif蛋白(NifB、NifH、NifD、NifK、NifE、NifN、NifX、HesA和NifV)融合到两个带有2A肽的多聚蛋白中在[具体宿主]中共表达。[具体来源]中表达的NifH依赖于NifU和NifS。[具体来源]中由2A连接的NifH融合蛋白表现出铁蛋白活性。
