Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for expressing biologically active proteins, in particular to a method for expressing tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) protein. technical background
[0002] Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is one of the newly discovered TNF family members, also known as apoptotin 2ligand (Apo-2L). In 1996, Pitti first isolated and identified TRAIL and its induced apoptosis, and found that the full-length human TRAIL gene was 1769bp, located on chromosome 3q26. TRAIL protein is a type II transmembrane protein, consisting of 281 amino acids, with a molecular weight of 32.5kD and an isoelectric point of 7.63. functional parts. The biologically active form of TRAIL is a homotrimer, and there is a zinc ion binding site on the monomer interface (Sarah G et al., Biochem, 2000, 39:633-640).
[0003] The combination of the extracellular region of TRAIL and its specific receptor ...
