Description

Preparation method of citrullinated vimentin
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of protein preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of citrullinated vimentin.
Background
Vimentin is a structural protein involved in biological processes such as cell morphology maintenance, signal transduction and cell motility. Citrullination is a post-translational modification of proteins that is involved in the regulation of the immune system and in the regulation of autoimmune responses. Citrullinated vimentin may be associated with the occurrence and progression of a variety of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and sjogren's syndrome, among others.
Studies and applications of citrullinated vimentin are related to a number of fields, mainly including autoimmune disease research, biomarker development, and therapeutic strategy research. Autoimmune diseases research is to develop the association between citrullinated vimentin and autoimmune diseases, and to understand the pathogenesis of these diseases, reveal the roles of citrullinated vimentin in autoimmune reaction and inflammatory process, and provide theoretical basis for diagnosis and treatment of related diseases. Biomarker development refers to that citrullinated vimentin possibly becomes a biomarker of autoimmune diseases, and clinical applications such as early diagnosis, disease typing, disease monitoring, prognosis evaluation and the like are realized by detecting the existence and the expression level of the citrullinated vimentin. The treatment strategy research refers to that citrullinated vimentin possibly becomes a new target point for treating autoimmune diseases, and researchers can utilize a citrullinated vimentin model to carry out drug screening and search a treatment method with potential curative effects on functional recovery or pathological repair of the citrullinated vimentin. In conclusion, the citrullinated vimentin has important background significance in the research and clinical application of autoimmune diseases, and the deep research of the citrullinated vimentin is helpful to promote the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of autoimmune diseases.
At present, two main preparation methods of citrullinated vimentin exist. One is the direct artificial synthesis of citrullinated vimentin, the other is the incubation of recombinant vimentin after mixing with the protein arginine deiminase, followed by multiprocessing to remove the hybrid protein. Both methods have the disadvantage that the artificial synthesis is liable to affect the function, stability and interaction with other molecules, nonspecific and excessive citrullination may lead to loss of protein function or undesired changes in protein structure, which may negatively affect subsequent applications and experiments, and different synthesis conditions and reaction times may lead to different degrees of citrullination, which makes it difficult to compare results between different experiments or laboratories, and thus leads to poor detection accuracy; the mixing incubation method requires more additional steps for purification after enzyme catalysis, the yield and purity of the citrullinated vimentin are difficult to be simultaneously considered, the preparation cost is high, and the protein stability can be influenced by elongating the whole expression purification process and time due to the fact that the citrullinated vimentin is unstable, and further the subsequent application and experiment of the protein can be influenced.
