Abstract:
Objective Using yeast two-hybrid system to screen the proteins which can interact with the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL128 which have two difference transcription structure from human fetus brain cDNA library, and compare the difference with structure and function of interacting proteins. Methods Two fragments of UL128 were amplified by 3'RACE and 5'RACE technology, the length are 519 bp and 642 bp, respectively. The "bait plasmid" (named as pGBKT7-UL128-519 bp and pGBKT7-UL128-642 bp) was constructed successfully. Using pGBKT7-UL128-519 bp and pGBKT7-UL128-642 bp as a bait, a human fetus brain cDNA was screened and the proteins interacting with UL128-519 bp and UL128-642 bp encoded protein were searched, and the positive clones were sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatic methods. Results EFEMP2 interacting with HCMV UL128-519 bp were identified, THY-1 interacting with HCMV UL128-642 bp were identified. Conclusion EFEMP2 and THY-1 proteins interacting with HCMV UL128-519 bp and UL128-642 bp in human fetus brain cDNA library were successfully screened, but same proteins weren't found from the proteins interacting with UL128-519 bp and UL128-642 bp protein, UL128-519 bp and UL128-642 bp protein may be play an different effect in the process of infect by HCMV.
