OBJECTIVETo prepare the modified ZHER2V2 affibody with amino-terminal HEHEHE sequence and carboxyl-terminal GGGC sequence by gene recombinant expression,which is the basis for invasive HER2 imaging with affibody.
METHODSThe encoded affibody gene was optimized by codon preference of E. coli with gene designer software. The N-terminal of affibody was fused with HEHEHE sequence,while the C-terminal was fused with GGGC sequence. The synthetic gene was confirmed by Hind 3 endonuclease restriction and gene sequencing. The human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER2)affibody gene was sub-cloned into pET22b(+)plasmid and transformed into competent BL21(DE3)bacteria. The expression of modified affibody was induced with isopropyl Β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG)and identified by SDS-PAGE. The affibody was purified by nickel affinity binding and imidazole elution. The purified affibody was labeled with (68)Ga and its affinity was determined by saturation analysis with HER2-positive cells MDA-MB-361.
RESULTSThe affibody gene containing N-terminal HEHEHE and C-terminal GGGC sequences were confirmed by Hind 3 endonuclease restriction and gene sequencing. A newly expressed 8×10(3) protein was expressed from the induced recombinant bacteria identified by SDS-PAGE after sub-cloning HER2 affibody gene into pET22b(+)plasmid,transforming recombinant plasmid into competent BL21(DE3)bacteria and inducing the recombinant bacteria with IPTG. The expressed protein was purified from nickel agarose by 60 mmol/L imidazole eluting. The affinity Kd value of (68)Ga labeled affibody to HER2 positive MDA-MB-361 cells was 1.5 nmol/L.
CONCLUSIONThe affiibody ZHER2V2 containing N-terminal HEHEHE and C-terminal GGGC was successfully prepared by gene optimization,recombinant expression and affinity purification.

Photoaffinity labeling is widely applied to demonstrate targets of small molecule ligands. In this paper, biotin photoaffinity labeled molecule with propargyl group 1 has been designed and synthesized, followed it's labeling of N2-acetyl-2'-O-propargyl guanosine 9 by "click chemistry". This technology presents delight development potential in labeling of second messenger cyclic nucleotide, antisense oligonucleotide or siRNA.

3.The application of small molecule bioactive probes in the identification of cellular targets.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2012;47(3):299-306
Identification of the cellular targets of bioactive compounds is a major challenge and a key issue in chemical biology and drug discovery. As an important technology in functional proteomics, small molecule probes play a pivotal role in the identification of cellular targets of bioactive compounds. This review is intended to introduce the application principles and structural design philosophy of chemical probes for the purpose of mechanistic study. Recent cases of successful application were also discussed to further demonstrate the principles and significance ofbioactive small molecule-based probes.
