چکیده

We have developed a general method for screening randomly mutagenized expression libraries in mammalian cells by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). The cDNA sequence of a secreted protein is randomly mutagenized by PCR under conditions of reduced Taq polymerase fidelity. The mutated DNA is inserted into an expression vector encoding the membrane glycophospholipid anchor sequence of decay-accelerating factor (DAF) fused to the C terminus of the secreted protein. This results in expression of the protein on the cell surface in transiently transfected mammalian cells, which can then be screened by FACS. This method was used to isolate mutants in the kringle 1 (K1) domain of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) that would no longer be recognized by a specific monoclonal antibody (mAb387) that inhibits binding of t-PA to its clearance receptor. DNA sequence analysis of the mutants and localization of the mutated residues on a three-dimensional model of the K1 domain identified three key discontinuous amino acid residues that are essential for mAb387 binding. Mutants with changes in any of these three residues were found to have reduced binding to the t-PA receptor on human hepatoma HepG2 cells but to retain full clot lysis activity.

Background Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)- a hetrodimeric glycoprotein- is secreted by pituitary gland. This hormone stimulates growth and maturation of the follicles in females and sperms in male. Up to now, glycoprotein hormones such as FSH have produced in different cell lines. Among of the mammalian expression systems, the Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) have taken into consideration ...

A new strategy for construction of synthetic gene encoding human basic fibroblast growth factor comprising DNA annealing-ligation and augmentation by polymerase chain reaction was introduced. The sequence of the gene and corresponding amino acid chain were modified in order to increase stability of the protein. First, 300 bp and 160 bp fragments of the gene were assembled from 18 oligonucleotid...
