Recombinant Expression of the Non-glycosylated Extracellular Domain of Human Transforming Growth Factorβ Type II Receptor Using the Baculovirus Expression System in Sf21 Insect Cells
Authors
Abstract:
Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ1, β2, and β3) are 25 kDa disulfide-linked homodimers that regulate many aspects of cellular functions, consist of proliferation, differentiation, adhesion and extracellular matrix formation. TGFβs mediate their biological activities by binding of growth factor ligand to two related, functionally distinct, single-pass transmembrane receptor kinases, known as the TGFβ type I and type II receptors. The high affinity of type II TGFβ receptor to TGFβ 1 and TGFβ 3 makes it a potent and specific inhibitor for TGFβ related studies. In this study, we designed a recombinant construct including a part of the extracellular domain of type II TGFβ receptor (amino acids 38 – 159) which functionally was active according to previous crystallography studies. The recombinant protein was efficiently (30 µg per 106 Sf21 cells) produced in Sf21 insect cells which were transfected by recombinant baculovirus. The recombinant protein was purified based on the presence of His-tag sequence using Ni-NTA agarose.

Cloning and Expression of Simian Rotavirus Spike Protein (VP4) in Insect Cells by Baculovirus Expression System
Background: VP4 protein is as spikes on rotavirus outer capsid shell which is responsible for virus attachment to the host. VP4 induces production of neutralizing antibodies which could be used for serotyping of different isolates. Methods: Simian rotavirus SA11 gene 4 cDNA was cloned into a cloning plasmid pDONRTM by recombination reaction using clonase II enzyme mix. The resulting clone was c...

Background: Phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) play a critical role in the regulation of intracellular level of adenosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) and guanosine 3´,5´-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP). Subsequently PDE3 inhibitors have shown to relax vascular and inhibit platelet aggregation in cardiovascular disease. Objectives: In th...

Transcobalamin II (TCII) is a cobalamin (Cbl, vitamin B12)-binding protein in mammalian plasma that facilitates the cellular uptake of the vitamin. To obtain human TCII in sufficient quantity for analytical studies, the complementary DNA (cDNA) encoding TCII was inserted into the plasmid PVL 1393, and the baculovirus expressing TCII was obtained by homologous recombination in Spodoptera frugipe...

Expression of the human retinoblastoma gene product pp110RB in insect cells using the baculovirus system.
The product of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (RB) was overproduced in cultured insect cells using the baculovirus expression system. Upon insertion of the cloned human RB complementary DNA sequence into the viral genome downstream of the promoter of the polyhedrin gene, full-length RB protein with an apparent molecular weight of 110,000 was expressed in the insect cells. This protein w...
