2.3. Preparation of large quantity extracted plasmid and transfection reagent PEI (polyimide)
Due to the use of transient transfection technology, large amounts of plasmid and transfection reagent PEI are required to meet the subsequent protein purification work.
Mass extraction of plasmids: the plasmid inserted into each RHBDD1 truncated protein and RHBDD1 mutant obtained in the last step through gene cloning is transformed into DH5 alpha competent cells, and passes through a constant temperature incubator at 37 ℃ for overnight culture for about 12 hours, a single colony is picked up in a clean bench and added into a 50mL LB vial, the concentration of ampicillin is maintained at 80 mug/L, overnight culture is carried out at 220rpm, the single colony is transferred into a 4L LB vial culture medium, the culture is continued for about 6 hours, thalli are collected, and plasmids are extracted by using a Kangji plasmid extraction kit.
Preparing PEI: in this example, 50mg of PEI was weighed using a precision balance using PEI solid powder purchased from Polysciences, added to a clean 50mL centrifuge tube, double distilled water was added to 45mL, the centrifuge tube was sealed and placed in a 85 ℃ water bath, and heated for 20 minutes in a hot water bath, and the dissolution of the PEI solid powder was observed, after which the centrifuge tube was taken out and cooled to room temperature, the pH was adjusted to 7.2 using a pH meter, the volume was made to 50mL using double distilled water, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter in a clean bench and dispensed, and then frozen in a-20 ℃ refrigerator. When the PEI solid is used again, if the PEI solid is separated out, the PEI solution can be placed in a water bath kettle at the temperature of 65 ℃, the water bath is used for heating for 5 minutes, and the PEI solution can be continuously used after being cooled to the normal temperature.
Cell culture of HEK293F
HEK293F cells used in this example were from the university of qinghua, baopenjun laboratory gift. During the initial culture of the cells, the cryopreservation and recovery of mammalian cells are involved. The HEK293F cell is domesticated by human embryo kidney cell, and the cell line rarely expresses the endogenous ligand needed by the extracellular ligand, is easy to transfect and operate, and is the most common exogenous expression system.
Reviving HEK293F cells: frozen HEK293F cells were removed from liquid nitrogen and placed in a 37 ℃ water bath for about 1-2 minutes, the cells were lysed and immediately transferred to a clean bench, the lysed cells were added to about 10ml of cell culture medium (293Ti medium, available from Yinqiao), the cells were resuspended, and centrifuged at 600g for 5 minutes using a centrifuge, and the supernatant was discarded, followed by addition of 10ml of medium for a second resuspension and centrifugation. Finally, after about 25ml of culture medium is used for heavy suspension, and the streptomycin double antibody is added, and the mixture is placed in a carbon dioxide incubator for culture.
Cryopreservation of HEK293F cells: in this example, it is generally necessary to freeze cells with a small number of culture generations and cells with a good growth state. Collecting cells with good growth state at a density of about 1.5-2.5 × 106Taking about 100ml of each cell/ml, centrifuging for 5 minutes by using a centrifuge 600g, discarding the supernatant, resuspending by using a freezing buffer solution (10% DMSO, 40% FBS and 50% culture medium), subpackaging into a freezing tube, placing into a freezing box, placing in a refrigerator at minus 80 ℃ for overnight, and transferring the frozen cells to liquid nitrogen the next dayStoring in a jar.
Passage of HEK293F cells: the mammalian cells need to be added with streptomycin during the culture process to inhibit the contamination of gram positive/negative bacteria. At the beginning of the culture, the cells were cultured using a vial, and for HEK293F suspension cells, the growth cycle was typically 24 hours until the cell density increased to 2-3X 106At individual cells/ml, the vials were passaged to large bottles and diluted to a concentration of about 0.5X 106Individual cells/ml, theoretically, the concentration of the culture medium should not be too high to exceed 4X 106The growth state of the cells is deteriorated and aggregation phenomenon is generated per ml; the passage concentration is not too low and is not less than 0.3-0.5 × 106Individual cells/ml. Too low a concentration of cells is less likely to grow.
2.5. Transient transfection of mammalian cells and optimization of transfection conditions
The transient transfection technology (transient transfection) is a simple, fast and efficient mammalian expression method, and is a way to introduce exogenous DNA into eukaryotic cells, PEI as a cationic liposome can wrap plasmid DNA with negative charges and enter the cell body through the endocytosis process, so that the transient but high-level expression of a target gene is obtained. In the operation process, the plasmid to be transfected does not need to be introduced into a host chromosome, and the transfected protein can be obtained in a short time. Has the advantages of simple operation, short period, high expression efficiency, safety, high efficiency, no need of screening genes, capability of operating on complete cell strains and the like.
For example, 500ml of HEK293F cells were transfected: when the cells are in logarithmic growth phase (1.5-2.5X 10)6One cell/ml) in a clean bench, two sterile centrifuge tubes were opened, and 25ml of antibiotic-free medium were added, one of the centrifuge tubes containing 0.5mg of plasmid and the other centrifuge tube containing 2mg of PEI. And placing the mixture in an oven at 37 ℃, standing and incubating for 3-5 minutes, slowly and dropwise adding the PEI solution into a plasmid buffer solution in a super clean bench, fully and uniformly mixing, then incubating in the oven at 37 ℃ for 20-30 minutes to form PEI-coated plasmid liposome, and then dropwise adding the PEI-coated plasmid liposome into cells in logarithmic phase. Culturing for 48 hours in generalThereafter, the transfection process is completed.
In addition, different transfection conditions were optimized for different proteins.
Four time gradients were set up as optimized for transfection time (24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 60 hours), and cells were harvested at the expected time points and tested by Western Blot experiments. Transfection ratio optimization, cells used in this example: plasmid: the proportion of PEI is 1:1:4, different mixing proportions are respectively set in the process of optimizing conditions, and in a simple way, the proportion of fixing cells and plasmids is 1:1, and then the optimal proportion of PEI is screened and added. And then, according to the proportion of the screened PEI, changing the proportion of the plasmid, and screening out a proper proportion of the plasmid. Finally, combining with transfection time screening, the final optimized conditions are cell: plasmid: PEI 1:1:4, cells were harvested 48 hours after transfection.
Strep-Tag protein purification of RHBDD1 truncated protein
Strep-Tag II is an affinity purified protein Tag containing eight amino acids, which can help better obtain protein with higher purity, especially for membrane protein.
The transfected cells were harvested, typically in 1L extraction units, and HEK293F cells were resuspended in resuspension buffer (20mM Hepes pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl, 1mM PMSF, 2mM DTT), noting that protein purification was typically performed at 4 ℃ or ice temperature. The resuspended cells were crushed twice under high pressure using a high pressure crusher, and the resulting cell crushed solution was centrifuged for 5 minutes at 13000rpm using a high-speed low-temperature centrifuge to remove cell debris, and then the supernatant was collected and centrifuged using ultra-high-speed centrifugation of Beckmann, using a 70Ti rotor at 41000rpm for 1 hour. The supernatant was then gently discarded and the pellet in the tube was stored on ice. The bottom of the tube was resuspended using a rubber-tipped pipette and a buffer (25mM Tris pH 8.0, 200mM NaCl, 2mM DTT), and the resuspended suspension was disrupted using a homogenate disrupter. Adding DDM detergent to obtain a final concentration of 1% DDM, placing on a four-degree shaker, slowly shaking, and extracting for 2-3 hr.
After completion of the extraction, the extract was centrifuged at 41000rpm for 30 minutes using an ultra high speed centrifuge, and the supernatant was retained and filtered using a 0.45 μm filter.
The affinity column was pre-equilibrated with Strep column buffer (20mM Hepes pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT), typically around 2 column volumes. The protein supernatant was then hung onto the column twice, after which the contaminating proteins were washed off using wash buffer (20mM Hepes pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl); during the period, Coomassie brilliant blue G250 can be used for detecting whether the hybrid protein is washed clean, and the washing volume is about 10 column volumes generally. Finally, the target protein was eluted using an elution buffer (20mM Hepes pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl, 5mM desthiobiotin, 2mM DTT). After protein collection, the protein was concentrated using a Millipo protein concentration tube to facilitate the next experimental procedure. The concentration of the concentrated protein is 0.2-0.4 mg/ml, and the final protein is dissolved in elution buffer (20mM Hepes pH 8.0, 150mM NaCl, 5mM desthiobiotin, 2mM DTT) for later use.
It is noteworthy that the column needs to be treated each time after the Strep tag affinity column has been used. The method comprises the following steps:
washing the affinity column with reconstitution buffer (100mM Tris pH 8.0, 100mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 5mM HABA), typically for 5-10 column volumes;
washing the affinity column with affinity column buffer (25mM Tris pH 7.8, 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT) for 5-10 column volumes;
washing the affinity column with 0.5M NaOH solution, washing away residual HABA, typically 5 column volumes;
washing the affinity column with double distilled water, washing NaOH, generally washing 5 column volumes;
the affinity column was washed with an affinity column buffer (25mM Tris pH 7.8, 150mM NaCl, 2mM DTT) for 10-20 column volumes and stored in a refrigerator at 4 ℃.
SDS-PAGE and Western Blot protein detection
SDS-PAGE: sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The prepared protein sample is completely opened in hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic bonds in the protein under the action of SDS, the SDS is used as an anionic surfactant, can be combined with the surface of the protein and enables the protein to be negatively charged, the charge quantity is far more than the original charge quantity of protein molecules, and further the charge difference among different proteins is covered, and at the moment, the protein molecule mobility of different lanes is mainly determined by the molecular weight. If the protein has a larger molecular weight, the mobility of the molecules is slower, and it is located above the lanes on SDS-PAGE. Generally, a protein sample is mixed with a protein sample-adding buffer solution in advance, and the mixture is heated in a heating block at 100 ℃ to sufficiently denature the protein sample, centrifuged, applied to SDS-PAGE gel, electrophoresed at 180V for about 60 to 80 minutes, stained with a staining solution for half an hour, and then decolorized with a decolorizing solution for 1 hour, thereby allowing observation of a protein band.
The Western Blot protein detection experiment steps are as follows:
(1) carrying out electrophoresis on a sample to be detected by SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), and generally using a prestained protein marker;
(2) after the electrophoresis is finished, transferring the protein gel sample to a PVDF membrane by using a wet-to-membrane converter for about 1.5 hours;
(3) after the membrane conversion is finished, sealing the PVDF membrane by using a sealing liquid (PBST + 5% skim milk), generally about 30 minutes;
(4) a first antibody: in the experiment, a mouse Strep-tag primary antibody is used, added into a sealing solution according to the proportion of 1:5000, and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature;
(5) washing the membrane: washing the membrane by using a TBST solution for three times, wherein each time lasts for about 5 minutes;
(6) secondary antibody: adding a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody according to the proportion of 1:5000, and incubating for 1 hour at room temperature;
(7) washing the membrane with PBST solution for about 5 minutes three times;
(8) a developer solution was added and exposure was performed using a bio-rad machine.
