A kind of firefly luciferase gene and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of new firefly luciferase gene, the particularly application of this gene in producing Photinus pyralis LUC.
Background technology
Luciferase is the general designation that occurring in nature can produce noctilcent enzyme, and wherein most representative is that a kind of formal name used at school is the interior luciferase of light of firefly polypide of Phot inus pyralis.In the corresponding chemical reaction, the generation of fluorescence is the oxidation that comes from luciferin, also comprises Triphosaden (ATP) in some cases in the reaction system.In the absence of luciferase, the speed of luciferin and oxygen reaction is very slow, and usually further accelerated reaction of the existence of calcium ion (similar to the situation of Muscle contraction).Chemical reaction is as follows:
Luciferin+ATP+O2 → oxygen luciferin+PPi+AMP+CO2+ light.Energy is saved in this reaction very much, and the energy of nearly all input reaction all is converted into light.Under the situation that has excessive substrate and enzyme to exist, emitted luminescence intensity is directly proportional with ATP in the reaction system, therefore this characteristics of luminescence make Photinus pyralis LUC can and produce in the research of various mensuration ATP in widespread use, as the drug sensitive test of tumour individuation medical treatment.
The Photinus pyralis LUC of using mainly is that the wild-type Photinus pyralis LUC is cloned in the recombinant vectors at present, forwards expression in escherichia coli and purifying to.Jeffrey1985 has just made up the recombinant vectors pkw101 that contains firefly luciferase gene, the system production that utilizes Jeffrey to make up, need be through 30 minutes processing of 45 degree thermal inductions, had a strong impact on enzymic activity, there is separation difficulty equally in other people production method, serious problems such as yield is low, and enzyme work is low.
Summary of the invention
Defective at present prior art existence, the invention discloses a kind of firefly luciferase gene and application thereof, make product be easy to purifying, the output height, characteristics such as activity is high, and stability is strong are a kind of methods of producing Photinus pyralis LUC efficiently, be fit to industrial production, use in the individuation diagnosis.
For solving the problems of the technologies described above, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:
A kind of firefly luciferase gene is to be the mutLuc gene that obtains behind the L-Ala by the 31st lysine mutation with the firefly luciferase gene of wild-type.
Further, the nucleotide sequence of the firefly luciferase gene of described wild-type such as SEQ.ID.NO.1, the aminoacid sequence of described L-Ala such as SEQ.ID.NO.2.
A kind of firefly luciferase gene is for the production of the application in the Photinus pyralis LUC.
In described Pet-mutLuc, because the Photinus pyralis LUC sudden change is under the control of efficient promoter T7 gene and lactose operon Lac, when existing, firefly luciferase gene of the present invention can be by efficient inducible transcription at certain density sec.-propyl-b-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG).
Utilize pack into Xho1I and the BamHI of recombinant expression vector pet-15b of described mutLuc gene to obtain Pet-mutLuc, and recombinant vectors changed in the host bacterium (e. coli bl21 DE3), purifying obtains luciferase after described sec.-propyl-b-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) is induced.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
Compare with existing luciferase production method, the present invention is because the codon that has suddenlyd change the wild-type firefly luciferase gene and optimized Luc, make the Photinus pyralis LUC of this sudden change have the purifying of being easy to, yield height (every liter of zymophyte obtains zymoprotein greater than 5mg), enzyme purity height (specific activity of enzyme 〉=1 * 1011RUL/mg albumen), characteristics such as active high and stability is strong are a kind of methods of High-efficient Production Photinus pyralis LUC, be fit to industrial production, use in the individuation diagnosis.
Above-mentioned explanation only is the general introduction of technical solution of the present invention, for can clearer understanding technique means of the present invention, and can be implemented according to the content of specification sheets, below with preferred embodiment of the present invention and conjunction with figs. describe in detail as after.

Embodiment
Below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments, describe the present invention in detail.
A kind of firefly luciferase gene is to be the mutLuc gene that obtains behind the L-Ala by the 31st lysine mutation with the firefly luciferase gene of wild-type.
Further, the nucleotide sequence of the firefly luciferase gene of described wild-type such as SEQ.ID.NO.1, the aminoacid sequence of described L-Ala such as SEQ.ID.NO.2.
A kind of firefly luciferase gene is for the production of the application in the Photinus pyralis LUC.
Referring to shown in Figure 1, in described Pet-mutLuc, because the Photinus pyralis LUC sudden change is under the control of efficient promoter T7 gene and lactose operon Lac, when existing, firefly luciferase gene of the present invention can be by efficient inducible transcription at certain density sec.-propyl-b-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG).
Utilize pack into the Xho1 I of recombinant expression vector pet-15b of described mutLuc gene to draw BamHI and obtain Pet-mutLuc, and recombinant vectors changed in the host bacterium (e. coli bl21 DE3), purifying obtains luciferase after described sec.-propyl-b-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) is induced.
Wild-type Pet-Luc and Pet-mutLuc are transformed into respectively in the competent cell of e. coli bl21 (DE3), the inoculation above-mentioned bacterial strains is in the LB substratum of 10ml, 37 degree shaken overnight, the 10ml bacterium that spends the night is inoculated in the fresh LB substratum of 1L, 37 degree continue to cultivate, be about 0.6 up to OD600, the adding final concentration is that the IPTG of 3mM induces different time.
Referring to shown in Figure 2, after IPTG induces, respectively 1,2, waited the different time sampling in 3,4,5,6 hours, utilize spectrophotometric determination OD600, obtain cell concentration.
Referring to shown in Figure 3, collect and induce the bacterium liquid 1ml of different time points, detect enzymic activity after the centrifugal cracking, the result shows that the enzymic activity of Pet-mutLuc group bacterium crude extract is apparently higher than wild-type.
Referring to shown in Figure 4, further behind the tweezer column purification, to get the 1ul purified product respectively and do the uciferase activity detection, result's demonstration is significantly higher than wild-type from the protease activity of Pet-mutLuc group purifying.
The above is the preferred embodiments of the present invention only, is not limited to the present invention, and for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of doing, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
