摘要:

通过基因重组技术,克隆表达了β-葡聚糖特异性结合美洲鲎G因子α亚基片段a(Gαa)蛋白,并建立了β-葡聚糖比浊检测方法。 克隆的Gαa基因相对分子质量为40000(1251 bp),浓度为2 g/L,纯度达到98%以上。 该蛋白能与βG特异性结合,紫外分光光度计在340 nm下检测的吸光度与βG含量呈正线性相关,线性范围3.125~200 mg/L,R2=0.997,检测限3.125 mg/L。 结合力实验表明,该蛋白与βG具有良好的亲和性及特异性。 该方法具有成本低、快速、专一性强等特点。

Abstract:

In this paper, a beta-glucan binding protein of horseshoe crab(limulus polyphemus) factor G-subunit α fragment-a was cloned, expressed and purified. A turbidimetry assay for the detection of beta-glucan was established. The DNA fragment of the binding protein gene was cloned into an expressional plasmid pET-15b. The protein was expressed with 6x-Histag on N-terminal and purified with Ni-column. The purified protein has relative molecular mass of 40000(1251 bp) on SDS-PAGE and the concentration is 2 g/L with the purity of >98%. The highly purified protein can combine with beta-glucan specifically with an affinity constant KD of 3.14×10-9 mol/L. The absorbance measurement at 340 nm using the ultraviolet spectrophotometer shows that the absorbance is linearly correlated with the concentration of beta-glucan. The linear range is 3.125~200 mg/L, R2 is 0.997, and the detection limit is 3.125 mg/L. The novel turbidimetry assay for the detection of beta-glucan has low cost, rapid, and highly sensitive and specific.
