TEV protease mutant and encoding gene and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the genetically engineered field, be specifically related to grow tobacco plaque virus (TEV) protease mutant, the encoding gene of this mutant and a method for preparing this mutant.
Background technology
In intestinal bacteria, carry out albumen when recombinant expressed, a lot of protein be not expression amount not the higher position be that solubility is very low.Make the expression amount of target protein rise or the solubility raising, also target protein and some specific albumen label amalgamation and expressions can be transformed target protein on gene level, produce the recombinant protein that contains the albumen label.The albumen label of using at present has a lot, comprise maltose binding protein commonly used (maltose-binding protein, MBP), Thiadiazolidine isomerase (glutathione S-transferase, GST), and Trx (thioredoxin, Trx), little ubiquitin relevant modifications thing (small ubiquitin-related modifier, SUMO) etc.These albumen labels can make the Recombinant Protein Expression amount rise, and solubility significantly improves, for expression, the purifying of target protein are provided convenience.Yet these fusion tags at N-end or C-end may be to the structure and the certain influence of active generation of target protein.Therefore structure or the function at research protein or enzyme needs these labels are removed after purifying is finished often.
Though chemistry and Enzymology method can both excise the albumen label,, the chemical method specificity is not high, and the cutting condition is gentle inadequately, usually can cause the irreversible inactivation of target protein.Have only the use Enzymology method, just can reach higher specificity, therefore excising albumen label method commonly used is to introduce one section proteolytic enzyme enzyme to cut sequence between label and target protein, uses special proteolytic enzyme that the albumen label is excised.The proteolytic enzyme of in the past selecting for use mainly comprises zymoplasm (Thrombin), factor Xa (Factor Xa), enteropeptidase (Enterokinase) etc., when wherein factor Xa and enteropeptidase cut, can not stay unnecessary amino-acid residue, help the research of native protein 26S Proteasome Structure and Function at the N-of target protein end.But all to exist restriction enzyme site not single-minded for these proteolytic enzyme according to the literature, and enzyme cuts often that regular meeting causes shortcomings such as target protein degraded.And TEV proteolytic enzyme obtains people and more and more payes attention to owing to the recognition sequence specificity of its height.
TEV proteolytic enzyme (tobacco etch virus protease) is the catalysis region of 27kD in the tobacco plaque virus N Ia albumen, recognition protein preface Glu-Xaa-Xaa-Tyr-Xaa-Gln-Gly/Ser (the most frequently used sequence is Glu-Asn-Leu-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Gly) specifically, and in the end cut between two amino-acid residue Gln (P1) and the Gly (P1 '), its sequence specificity is more than proteolytic enzyme height such as Thrombin, Factor Xa, Enterokinase.After though TEV albumen cuts target protein, can stay next amino-acid residue at the N-of target protein end, but the P1 ' position of restriction enzyme site, be not narrow spectrum Gly of being or Ser, P1 ' position is except that Pro influences the cutting effect of TEV proteolytic enzyme very significantly, other amino acid can obviously not influence the cutting of the right fusion rotein of TEV proteolytic enzyme, by prolonging the concentration of clipping time or increase TEV proteolytic enzyme, can make that all most fusion rotein is cut.Therefore, can after cutting, enzyme obtain the natural amino acid that the N-end does not contain unnecessary amino-acid residue by design.Simultaneously, TEV proteolytic enzyme can tolerate multiple common proteinase inhibitor, even and the cutting efficiency of TEV proteolytic enzyme also higher in the time of 4 ℃, so TEV proteolytic enzyme is widely used in protein research.
But there are certain defective in the expression and the purifying of TEV proteolytic enzyme self.At first, intramolecularly can take place from hydrolysis in natural TEV proteolytic enzyme, in the process of expression and purifying natural TEV proteolytic enzyme, it can constantly occurred conformation changes owing to the collision of other TEV proteolytic enzyme, the specific site of himself is cut, thereby make complete proteolytic enzyme by brachymemma, activity reduces greatly.Biochemical and structure studies show that this specific cleavage site is quite near from enzyme active center.For overcoming this difficulty, people such as Lucast have obtained the S219N mutant, and its stability is greatly improved, but the S219N mutant is the same with original TEV proteolytic enzyme when expressing, solubility is not high, and it is that form with inclusion body is present in the precipitation that about 95% albumen is arranged.The gene order of natural TEV proteolytic enzyme that people such as Kapust have used the genetically engineered point mutation, obtaining the higher and enzymic activity of this stability of S219V also has the mutant that improves a little, and its stability will exceed about 100 times than S219N.
Secondly, it is not high that TEV proteolytic enzyme is expressed output, and solubleness is also very low.Approximately have only 5% TEV proteolytic enzyme to be present in the supernatant of cytoclasis liquid, output is 12.5mg/L.People such as Van denBerg have found a kind of mutant TEV that output can be brought up to 54mg/L by gene reorganization (DNA shuffling), fallibility PCR (error-prone PCR)
SH, its solubleness improves a lot than S219N, but still has a large amount of TEV proteolytic enzyme to be present in the precipitation with insoluble form, and enzymic activity changes little.People such as Lei Fang are cloned into two different carriers respectively with TEV proteolytic enzyme and molecular chaperones, carry out coexpression at low temperatures, make TEV proteolytic enzyme output bring up to 65mg/L, and enzymic activity obtain reservation to a certain degree.Cabrita, L.D. wait the people to use the PoPMuSiC software design, TEV proteolytic enzyme simple point mutation body is carried out stability analysis, five mutant have been filtered out, their solubility and enzymic activity all get a promotion with respect to wild-type TEV proteolytic enzyme, also obtain a double-mutant simultaneously, its solubility and enzymic activity are significantly increased with respect to single mutant.Blommel, people such as P.G are with TEV proteolytic enzyme and maltose binding protein (MBP) amalgamation and expression, and people such as Wu Xudong are with TEV proteolytic enzyme and super folding green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) amalgamation and expression, and the Expression of Fusion Protein amount all is significantly improved.People such as Kraft are by fluorogenic substrate, develop a cover can practical method, it can detect the expression in vivo of TEV proteolytic enzyme effectively with folding, for the further research of TEV proteolytic enzyme provides a kind of method efficiently and effectively.
Summary of the invention
