Biochemically active human DNA repair protein, xeroderma pigmentosum G (XPG), was overexpressed in insect cells by a recombinant baculovirus. The recombinant baculovirus produced XPG with a mobility of approximately 185 kDa in a denaturing polyacrylamide gel. Indirect immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that the recombinant full-length XPG protein was expressed predominantly as a nuclear protein. The recombinant XPG protein was purified to apparent homogeneity using Q-sepharose, S-300 size exclusion, and Mono Q column chromatography. XPG protein showed a structure-specific DNA endonuclease activity, and a preferential affinity to single-stranded DNA and RNA compared to double-stranded DNA.
具有生物化学活性的人类DNA修复蛋白——着色性干皮病G蛋白(XPG),通过重组杆状病毒在昆虫细胞中过表达。该重组杆状病毒产生的XPG在变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶中的迁移率约为185 kDa。间接免疫荧光研究表明,重组全长XPG蛋白主要作为核蛋白表达。使用Q-琼脂糖凝胶、S-300尺寸排阻色谱和Mono Q柱色谱将重组XPG蛋白纯化至表观均一性。XPG蛋白表现出结构特异性DNA内切酶活性,与双链DNA相比,对单链DNA和RNA具有优先亲和力。
