Purifying process in the preparation of recombinant helicobacterpylori heat shock protein(HSP) A recombinant vaccine
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of biological pharmacy, be specifically related to the purifying process in the preparation of Heat Shock Protein A Gene of Helicobactor pylori engineered vaccine.
Technical background
Helicobacter pylori (Helicobacter pylori, Hp) be a kind of Gram-negative, screw shaped, microaerobe that is colonizated in the stomach, infection rate surpasses 50% in whole world crowd, be the main paathogenic factor of disease of upper digestive tract such as chronic gastritis, peptide ulceration and non-ucler dyspepsia, and closely related with the generation of stomach malignant tumour.
Known Hp bacterial strain can both produce two kinds of heat shock protein(HSP)s, i.e. HspA and HspB.HspA is made up of 118 amino acid, and 91 amino acid of N end and intestinal bacteria GroES homology are very high, can be used as molecular chaperones, plays an important role in synthesizing, assemble at Hp albumen; 27 amino acid regions of C end are peculiar by Hp, are rich in Histidine and halfcystine, are nickel ion calmodulin binding domain CaMs and relevant with urease activity.The coexpression in intestinal bacteria with hspA and urease gene, the ureaclastic ability of urease strengthens more than 4 times.In a word, HspA participates in the assembling of urease and the performance of urease activity, is one of important virulence factor of Hp.HspA can excitating organism produces one of effective antigens of protective immune response, is the important candidate composition of Hp subunit vaccine.
Helicobacter pylori HspA is the homologous protein of HSP family member GroES (Hsp 10), compares with other bacterium, and the HspA of Hp has uniqueness, includes a metal ion binding site at the C-terminal (being the b zone of HspA) of HspA.Discover that HspA and nickel ion bonded ability are far longer than bonding force (the Kansau I with cobalt, iron, zinc, cupric ion, Guillain F, et al.Nickel binding andimmunological properties of the c-terminal domain of the Helicobacterpylori GroES homologue (HspA) .Mol Microbiol, 1996,22 (5): 1013-1023).The applicant has made up the colibacillus engineering (Ran Xiangyang that efficiently expresses recombinant helicobacterpylori heat shock protein(HSP) A, Zou Quanming etc. recombinant helicobacterpylori heat shock protein(HSP) A subunit efficiently expresses and preliminary purification. cell and molecular immunology magazine [J] .2002,18 (6): 539-542).
The applicant is groping that first purification of samples to rHspA is further purified, discovery is under non-sex change condition, ion exchange column, hydrophobic chromatography post and gel permeation chromatography post, all the foreign protein of 30KD size can not be removed, and this albumen is main foreign protein in the rHspA sample behind the affinitive layer purification.Best (the Amersham Pharmacia Biotech AB of the resolving power of employed Superdex 75 gel permeation chromatography posts in protein molecular is 3~70KD scope, Gel Filtration Principles and Methods, code No.18-1022-18), in theory should be able to be with the albumen sepn of 30KD and 16KD, yet in the Superdex75 gel permeation chromatography on the affine sample of rHspA behind the sample wash-out only formed simple spike (seeing accompanying drawing 1), before SDS-PAGE result shows the peak, the peak point, the foreign protein of tail of the peak 30KD accompanies with rHspA all the time, analyzes this foreign protein and may form polymer with rHspA.
Opening the polymeric common method of albumen is to use denaturing agent such as SDS, urea, Guanidinium hydrochloride etc. and adds reductive agent such as beta-mercaptoethanol, DTT (Ling Mingsheng, Xu Xiangyu, Ding Shubiao. the purifying of the recombinant protein that exists with inclusion body and external folding. Chinese biochemical drug magazine, 1995,16 (3): 135-139), attempted the first purification of samples of rHspA is concentrated back Guanidinium hydrochloride cracking, renaturation, repurity, can observation separate the 30KD foreign protein with rHspA.The result shows, yet both is not separated.Analysis may be that 30KD foreign protein and rHspA have separated under the sex change condition, but in renaturation process, both have formed polymer again.
This shows and adopt conventional purifying process can not obtain highly purified rHspA.
