Inhibitory effect of the adenovirus type 5 E1A protein expressed in the yeast system on the human tumor cell growth

Adenovirus 5 type E1A as a tumor suppressor gene can inhibit tumor growth and enhance the sensitivity of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. E1A have the ability to integrate into the host genome, resulting in long-time expression that induces Rb gene inactivation and animal cells immortalization. This prompted us to select the E1A protein for treatment of cancer in order to overcome the limitations of E1A gene therapy. Thus, we firstly constructed E1A eucaryotic expression vector (pPIC9/E1A), transformated the pichia pastoris yeast cells (GS115) and screened the high-expressing recombinant strains. The positive yeast strains were cultured in the shake flask, and induced for 3 d. The crude E1A protein was purified using two steps of column chromatography on HiTrap Q and HiTrap SP. The purified E1A protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. E1A protein was mostly located at cellular nuclear when Chariot delivered E1A protein into cells. The analysis in vitro indicated that the E1A protein arrested LN686 cell cycle at G2/M phase, and significantly inhibited the growth of LN686 tumor cells. The current studies firstly provided an experimental basis to further develop E1A protein for tumor treatment.

Prokaryotic expression, localization and function of the infectious laryngotracheitis virus glycoprotein G

The infectious laryngotracheitis virus （ILTV） glycoprotein G （gG） gene of E3 and Zhonghai strains was cloned, sequenced and compared with the gG gene of other Type Ⅰ animal herpesviruses. To find the localization and the function of the gG in the infected cells, the 35 kD fusion protein （His-GG） was expressed by inserting the coding region of gG except for the signal peptide into pET30a （＋）. After purification of the His-GG fusion protein, the rats＇ antibody to the His-GG was prepared and purified by using the protein G Sepbarose. Results of laser scanning confocal microscopy （LSCM） detection showed that the ILTV gG was in the perinuclear region and membrane of chicken embryo liver （CEL） and kidney （CEK） cells, and that the gG accumulated more in the coalescent part than in the other parts of the adjacent CEL or CEK cells. The plaque size and the one-step growth curve tests suggested that the ILTV gG was required for viral growth by cell-to-cell direct infection in tissue-cultured CEL cells.

A homologue of the bacterial heat-shock gene DnaJ that alters protein sorting in yeast

Heat-shock proteins have been implicated in assembly of protein complexes, correct protein folding and uptake of proteins into organelles. In Escherichia coli, the heat-shock protein DnaJ and the Hsp70 homologue, DnaK, act together to disassemble a protein complex involved in bacteriophage lambda replication. We report the identification of SCJ1, a gene in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that encodes a homologue of the bacterial DnaJ protein. SCJ1 was identified by a genetic screen in which increased expression of candidate genes results in missorting of a nuclear-targeted test protein. The predicted amino-acid sequence of SCJ1 is 37% identical to the entire E. coli DnaJ protein. Hybridization experiments indicate that there is a family of yeast genes related to SCJ1. These findings suggest that the Hsp70 DnaK-DnaJ interaction is general to eukaryotes.
