Abstract:
Objective To express insulin-degrading enzyme(IDE)mutant T142A in prokaryotic cells and detect its activity.Methods According to the results of multi-sequence alignment and IDE substrate co-crystal structure,an active residue in β6-strand structure of IDE were predicted.The recombinant plasmid ppSUMO-T142A,with the site mutation of threonine 142 to alanine,was constructed by point mutation technique and expressed by E.coli prokaryotic expression system.After purification by nickel ion column affinity chromatography,ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography,the mutant T142A was obtained and determined for the activity by fluorescence method.Results IDE amino acid sequence is highly conserved among 16 species.T142 directly participates in substrate binding,interacts with substrate cleavage sites,and is close to important structures such as catalytic active sites and door-subdomains.The mutation of recombinant plasmid ppSUMO-T142A was proved to be correct by sequencing.The expressed fusion protein His-SUMO-T142A was mainly existed in soluble form in the supernatant at a concentration of 18 mg/mL,with a relative molecular mass of about 131 000;After three steps of purification,the purity of mutant T142A reached 86%.The maximum reaction rate(V_(max))of T142A catalytic degradation of fluorescent substrate V was 501.06 min~(-1) and the Michaelis constant(K_m) was 9.01μmol/L.Compared with wild-type IDE(V_(max) was 2 814.32 min~(-1),K_m was 11.93μmol/L),the activity of T142A decreased significantly.Conclusion The activity of IDE mutant T142A expressed in this study greatly decreases,while T142 is an important residue for IDE to play its enzymatic function,which provides an experimental basis for the development of new IDE activity regulatory molecules.
