a single point mutation within the coding sequence of cholera toxin b subunit will increase its expression yield
Authors
abstract
background: cholera toxin b subunit (ctb) has been extensively considered as an immunogenic and adjuvant protein, but its yield of expression is not satisfactory in many studies. the aim of this study was to compare the expression of native and mutant recombinant ctb (rctb) in pqe vector. methods: ctxb fragment from vibrio cholerae o1 atcc14035 containing the substitution of mutant ctxb for amino acid s128t was amplified by pcr and cloned in pgetm-t easy vector. it was then transformed to e. coli top 10f' and cultured on lb agar plate containing ampicillin. sequence analysis confirmed the mature ctxb gene sequence and the mutant one in both constructs which were further subcloned to pqe-30 vector. both constructs were subsequently transformed to e. coli m15 (prep4) for expression of mature and mutant rctb. results: sds-page analysis showed the maximum expression of rctb in both systems at 5 hours after induction and western-blot analysis confirmed the presence of rctb in blotting membranes. the expression of mutant rctb was much higher than mature rctb, which may be the result of serine-to-threonine substitution at position 128 of mature rctb amino acid sequence created by pcr mutagenesis. the mutant rctb retained pentameric stability and its ability to bind to anti- cholera toxin igg antibodies. conclusion: point mutation in ctxb sequence resulted in over-expression of rctb, probably due to the increase of solubility of produced rctb. consequently, this expression system can be used to produce rctb in high yield.

Abstract Background and Objectives: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. Mucosal feeding of myelin basic protein binding to the cholera toxin B subunit can reduce the intensity of the immune response in MS patients. Expression system, the domain composition of the fusion protein, accessibility of two domains, codon adaptation index (CAI) and GC contents are v...

Background and Objective: Shiga toxin (STx) is the main virulence factor in Shigella Dysenteriae type I and is composed of an enzymatic subunit STxA monomer and a receptor-binding STxB homopentamer. Shigella toxin B subunit (STxB) is a non-toxic homopentameric protein responsible for toxin binding and internalization into target cells by interacting with glycolipid (Gb3). Cholera toxi...

Background & Aims: Vibrio cholerae is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes cholera disease. Following ingestion by a host and entry into the upper intestine, V. cholera colonizes and begins to emit enterotoxin. One of the most pathogenic factors of Vibrio cholera is toxin-coregulated pili (TCP). ToxinCoregulated pili is as the primary factor requiered for the colonization and insisten...
