GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-amilGFP

GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-amilGFP


Characterization by Shanghai_HS

BBa_K4276005

Name: GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-amilGFP

Base Pairs: 5459 bp

Origin: enterovirus 71, rotaviruses, genome

Properties: tool for monitor the protein expression

Usage and biology

We intend to develop a bivalent vaccine containing the two viruses’ antigens. Specifically, VP1 of enterovirus 71 and VP7 of rotaviruses are the viral proteins constitutes the capsid, respectively. Both proteins are exposed to the surface and are accessible for vaccine targeted VP1 and VP7. In addition, the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) was used as mucosal adjuvant to further enhance the immunome response. And, we used alacto-N-biose/lacto-N-biose I-binding protein (GL-BP) to assist the antigen and IL-12 in expressing on the surface of Bifidobacterium membrane. The antigens and IL12 expression is monitored by the GFP intensity. The plasmid of GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-amilGFP is shown as Figure 1.

The components of the plasmid are described as follows:

BBa_K4276000

Name: GLBP

Base Pairs: 1314 bp

Origin: Bifidobacterium, genome

Properties: a protein anchored in the membrane of gram-positive bacteria

Usage and biology

Galacto-N-biose/lacto-N-biose I-binding protein (GL-BP) belongs to the family of ATP-binding cassette-type transporter from Bifidobacterium. The GL-BP are anchored in the membrane of gram-positive bacteria by lipid.

BBa_K4004001

Name: vp1

Base Pairs: 891 bp

Origin: Enterovirus 71 (EV71), genome

Properties: capsid protein and used to be antigen

Usage and biology

The EV71 is a single-stranded RNA virus coated capsid which consists of structural proteins (VP1-VP4). Among the four structural proteins, VP1 is an immunodomaint protein due to distributing in the capsid surface. The VP1 mutations allow to escape the host immune response. Thus, the vaccines were designed based on the VP1 region

BBa_K4276009

Name: vp7

Base Pairs: 883 bp

Origin: Rotaviruses, genome

Properties: a protein anchored in the membrane of gram-positive bacteria

Usage and biology

Rotaviruses are the most common pathogen of gastroenteritis among infants and young children. Rotavirus are members of the Reoviridae family and transmitted through the fecal-oral route. These viruses consist of multilayered, non-enveloped particles with double-stranded RNA. VP4 and VP7 are exposed on the surface of capsid. Thus, these proteins are considered as the antigen to induce the neutralizing antibodies against the Rotavirus. VP7 is a calcium-binding glycoprotein

BBa_K4276001

Name: IL12

Base Pairs: 1593 bp

Origin: synthesis

Properties: pro-inflammatory type-1 cytokine

Usage and biology

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a pro-inflammatory type-1 cytokine which bridges the innate resistance and adaptor immunity. Also, IL-12 has long been studied as a potential vaccine adjuvant to stimulate the immune. In a study reported that oral administration of IL-12 could induce immune responses.

Experiment approach

1.1PCR cloning vp1, vp7, GLBP, GFP and IL-12 DNA fragments

Figure 2: Gel electrophoresis result showed vp1, vp7, GLBP, GFP and IL-12 fragments M: DNA marker..


The vp1, vp7, GLBP, GFP and IL-12 DNA fragments amplified by PCR, the result was shown in Figure 2. Compared to DNA maker, the PCR products exhibits the correct bands.

1.2 Overlap extension PCR cloning GLBP-VP7-VP1-IL12-GFP

Figure 3: Gel electrophoresis result showed overlap extension PCR. M: DNA marker..

The electrophoresis result showed the PCR-amplified GLBP-VP7-VP1-IL12-GFP fragment.

1.3 colony PCR of GLBP-VP7-VP1-IL12-GFP plasmid

Figure 4: Gel electrophoresis result demonstrated the length of pET28a-GLBP-RV-EV-IL12-GFP in E.Coli DH10B. Lane 1-10 colony PCR of pET28a-GLBP-RV-EV-IL12-GFP colonies..

We picked up 4 colonies to verify whether the colony containing the recombinant plasmid pET28a-GLBP-RV-EV-IL12-GFP. The result shown as figure 17 and the transformants 1, 3, and 4 have right size. Thus, we picked up positive colony 3 to sequencing.

1.4 Sanger sequencing

Figure 5. Sanger sequencing of pET28a-GLBP-RV-EV-IL12-GFPplasmid..

The correct colony 3 containing pET28a-GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-GFP plasmid was sent to sequencing in Genwiz. The results showed as Figure 5 and the sequence well matched with the template. Thus, we used this plasmid to perform the subsequent experiment.

Proof of function

Figure 6: SDS-PAGE demonstrated the size of the protein samples. P: precipitant S: supernatant E: elution..

In Figure 6, we found the GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-GFP protein in lane S, P and E, it indicated that the GLBP-vp7-vp1-IL12-GFP protein successfully expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3).

This new composite part is a technical innovation of the project as a new attempt.
