Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to gene recombination technology, baculovirus gene expression system, protein purification and activity analysis, in particular to a method for producing recombinant scorpion toxin protein using silkworm as a host. Background technique
[0002] Scorpion toxin protein BmK is a small molecular weight protein synthesized and secreted by scorpions. The gene length is 198 nucleotides, encoding 65 amino acids, pI is 6.3, and the predicted molecular weight is about 8KDa, which has strong toxicity. Scorpion toxin has anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, dredging collaterals, dispelling rheumatism, antispasmodic, tranquilizing, pain-relieving and other functions. Therefore, scorpion toxin has good application value and shows a good application prospect. However, the price of scorpion toxin protein on the market is relatively expensive. Although it can be produced in Escherichia coli by genetic engineering, the scorpi...
