摘要: 目的 聚合酶链反应(PCR)诱导人乳头瘤病毒(HPV16)早期基因E7C端锌指结合基序基因突变,评价突变对抗原稳定性的影响。方法 采用PCR技术对HPV16E7第58、91位氨基酸进行突变,构建野生型(pcDNA3.1/16E7)和突变型(pcDNA3.1/16ME7)重组体,对其蛋白表达进行比较。结果 HPV16E7C端第58、91位氨基酸突变后真核细胞表达成功,免疫荧光检测在质粒转染COS-7细胞24h后两种重组体均有阳性细胞出现,但在48h时突变型重组体阳性细胞消失。免疫印迹技术在24h和48h时,突变型重组体均未见阳性条带。结论 HPV16E7C端锌指结构对维持蛋白稳定性起重要作用,突变后蛋白稳定性下降。

Abstract: Objective To induce the mutation of HPV-16 E7 in two zinc-binding motifs near the C terminus by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and evaluate the effect of this mutation on the antigen-specific immunity of HPV-16 E7. Methods HPV-16 E7 fragment was amplified by PCR and cloned into pGEM-3zf vector. Two site mutations at 58 and 91 animo acid sites in the open reading frame of HPV-16 E7 were induced by PCR, and then the molecular clones of HPV-16 E7 wild type (pcDNA3.1/E7) and mutant (pcDNA3.1/ME7) were successfully reconstructed. Western blot and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of E7 protein. Results Intracellular fluorescence signals were observed in the cells transfected with pcDNA3.1/E7 and pcDNA3.1/ME7 24 hours after transfection, but the signals in the cells transfected with pcDNA3.1/ME7 disappeared 48 hours after tansfection. Twenty-four and 48 hours after transfection with pcDNA3.1/ME7, E7 protein was not detected by Western blot. Conclusions The stability of HPV-16 E7 protein is reduced by mutations (C58G, C91G) near two zinc-binding motifs. It is suggested that the zinc-binding motifs near the C terminus of HPV-16 E7 may be important for maintaining the stability of E7 protein.
