We have expressed rat myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) 3-kinase B as both a full-length, recombinant, non-fusion protein and a full-length, recombinant, fusion protein with maltose-binding protein (MBP) in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein with MBP is soluble, binds calmodulin and is enzymically active whereas the non-fusion protein is insoluble and does not bind calmodulin unless co-expressed with bacterial chaperone proteins (either GroES and GroEL, or DnaK, DnaJ and GrpE). However, soluble, calmodulin-binding non-fusion IP3 3-kinase B is enzymically inactive. The catalytic domain of the enzyme has previously been shown to reside near the C-terminus; the results we present suggest an auto-regulatory role for the N-terminus.
我们已在大肠杆菌中表达了大鼠肌醇1,4,5-三磷酸(IP3)3-激酶B,其形式包括全长重组非融合蛋白以及与麦芽糖结合蛋白(MBP)的全长重组融合蛋白。与MBP的融合蛋白是可溶的,能结合钙调蛋白且具有酶活性,而该非融合蛋白是不溶的,除非与细菌伴侣蛋白(GroES和GroEL,或DnaK、DnaJ和GrpE)共表达,否则不结合钙调蛋白。然而,可溶的、结合钙调蛋白的非融合IP3 3-激酶B没有酶活性。此前已表明该酶的催化结构域位于C端附近;我们给出的结果表明N端具有自动调节作用。
