大豆疫霉菌氧化固醇结合蛋白在大肠杆菌中的表达、纯化及活性鉴定

    Expression, purification and activity identification of oxysterol-binding protein from Phytophthora sojae in Escherichia coli

    • 摘要: 氟噻唑吡乙酮 (oxathiapiprolin) 是目前生产上防治植物病原卵菌病害的高活性杀菌剂,其靶标被认为是氧化固醇结合蛋白 (oxysterol-binding protein, OSBP)。氧化固醇结合蛋白及其相关蛋白 (OSBP-related proteins, ORPs) 是一种脂质转运蛋白,保守存在于多个物种中。虽然其他部分物种的该蛋白三维结构已经被解析,然而尚未见有关植物病原卵菌中该蛋白异源表达及纯化的报道,因而限制了该蛋白的结构药理学研究及基于靶标的新型杀菌剂开发。本文旨在建立大豆疫霉菌 (Phytophthora sojae, Ps) 氧化固醇结合蛋白Psosbp的异源表达、纯化及活性鉴定体系。研究选取与人源OSBP序列保守的OSBP相关结构域 (oxysterol-binding protein-related domain, ORD),构建适于在大肠杆菌Escherichia coli中表达的质粒并通过异丙基-β-D-硫代半乳糖苷 (IPTG) 诱导表达,使用亲和层析及凝胶过滤层析对目的蛋白进行纯化,使用SDS-PAGE及Western blot对蛋白进行种类鉴定,分别使用Tycho™ NT.6及微量热泳动技术对蛋白进行结构完整性及活性鉴定。结果表明,选取了Psosbp蛋白序列的第600位至967位氨基酸,即Psosbp(600-967) 作为Psosbp的ORD结构域,构建了表达质粒pET28a-MBP-TEV-Psosbp(600-967)-His6。IPTG可诱导目的蛋白的表达且蛋白均为可溶状态,使用Ni-NTA琼脂糖树脂对蛋白进行亲和纯化,并基于分子质量大小,通过分子排阻色谱进一步分离获得了纯度较高的重组蛋白MBP-TEV-Psosbp(600-967)-His6。Tycho™ NT.6测定结果表明,重组蛋白具有完整的蛋白质高级结构;微量热泳动结果表明,氟噻唑吡乙酮可以与重组蛋白结合,说明所纯化出的Psosbp蛋白具有生物活性。综上,本文建立了植物病原卵菌的氧化固醇结合蛋白异源表达纯化及活性鉴定体系,并直接证实了抑制剂氟噻唑吡乙酮可结合氧化固醇结合蛋白。

       

      Abstract: Oxathiapiprolin is a fungicide with high actvity currently used in the field to prevent and treat plant pathogen oomycete disease, and its target has been supposed to be an oxysterol-binding protein (OSBP). OSBP and OSBP-related proteins (ORPs) as lipid transfer proteins are conserved in various species. Although the three-dimensional structure of this protein in other species has been elucidated, there have been no reports on its heterologous expression and purification in plant pathogenic oocytes, which limits the structural pharmacology research of this protein and the development of new targeted fungicides. This article aims to establish a system including in vitro expression, purification, and activity identification for the OSBP from Phytophthora sojae (Ps),Psosbp. In this study, the OSBP related domain (ORD) conserved with the human OSBP sequence was selected to construct a plasmid suitable for expression in Escherichia coli and the protein expression was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG). The target protein was purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration chromatography, respectively. Then protein was identified using SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Ultimately, the structural integrity and activity of protein were detected by Tycho™ NT.6 and microscale thermophoresis (MST), respectively. The result showed that amino acids from amino acid 600th to 967th of Psosbp protein sequence, namely Psosbp (600-967), were selected as ORD domain of Psosbp and used to construct the expression plasmid pET28a-MBP-TEV-Psosbp (600-967)-His6. IPTG could induce the expression of the target protein and the protein was soluble. The protein was affinity purified using Ni-NTA agarose resin, and a highly purified recombinant proein MBP-TEV-Psosbp (600-967)-His6 was further seperated by molecular exclusion chromatography. The result of Tycho™ NT.6 showed that the recombinant protein had a complete spatial structure, and MST analysis demonstrated that oxathiapiprolin could bind to the recombinant protein, indicating that the purified OSBP from P. sojae had biologic activity. In summary, this article established a system including heterologous expression, purification, and activity identification for OSBP from plant pathogenic oomycete, and directly confirmed that the inhibitor oxathiapiprolin could bind to OSBP.
