Embodiment 1

[0016] Application of this labeling method on soluble proteins in solution

[0017] a. The green fluorescent protein expressed in Escherichia coli is shown as sequence 1 in the sequence table; expression strain: BL21*(DE3), carrier: pET-15b (Escherichia coli protein expression vector). Shake at 37°C until OD=0.8, add 1 mM IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactoside), and induce at 37°C for 4 hours. Collect bacteria by high-speed centrifugation;

[0018] b. Resuspending the cells with Ni A buffer solution and then autoclaving the bacteria, wherein the Ni A buffer solution includes 20 mM Tris (abbreviated as Tris) and 200 mM NaCl, and the pH is 8.0. The supernatant was collected by high-speed centrifugation, passed through a Ni column, and eluted with a gradient from 60 mL to 200 mM imidazole. The collected fractions were concentrated with an ultrafiltration tube and exchanged from Ni A buffer to QA buffer, wherein the QA buffer included 20 mM tris with a pH of 8.0. Pass through the ...

[0024] Application of this labeling method on cell membrane surface proteins

[0025] a. The green fluorescent protein expressed in Escherichia coli is shown as sequence 1 in the sequence table; expression strain: BL21*(DE3), carrier: pET-15b. Shake at 37°C until OD=0.8, add 0.5mM IPTG, and induce at 19°C for 20h. Collect bacteria by high-speed centrifugation;

[0026] b. Resuspend the bacteria with Ni A buffer solution and then autoclave the bacteria, wherein the Ni A buffer solution includes 20 mM Tris (abbreviated as Tris) and 200 mM NaCl, and the pH is 8.0. The supernatant was collected by high-speed centrifugation, passed through a Ni column, washed with 20mM imidazole, i.e. 10% Ni B buffer, and then eluted with 200mM imidazole, i.e. 40% Ni B buffer, wherein the Ni B buffer included 20mM Tris (abbreviated as Tris), 200mM NaCl, 500mM imidazole, pH 8.0. The collected fractions were concentrated to about 6 mL, desalted to Q A buffer, where Q A buffer was 20 mM tris, and i...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for carrying out rapid fluorescence labeling on a protein, wherein a GFP cap probe is prepared, and the characteristic that the GFP cap probe and a small peptide GFP10-11 fused on a protein loop can be bound through specific non-covalent interaction to generate green fluorescence is used so as to achieve rapid and specific fluorescence labeling and quantitative detection on the protein. According to the present invention, the specificity is high, and the background fluorescence substantially does not exist; the GFP cap probe can not be excited to produce fluorescence, and only the GFP cap probe and the GFP10-11 are specifically bound so as to produce fluorescence; the use is convenient; the peak value of the excitation wavelength is about 482 nm, the peak value of the emission wavelength is about 507 nm, and the peak value of the excitation wavelength and the peak value of the emission wavelength are basically coincident with the green fluorescent protein, such that the detection can be performed by using the conventional fluorescence microscopy and the fluorescence spectrometer; the control on the fluorescence labeling time and the labeling concentration can be achieved; and the method can be used for labeling cell surface proteins, achieving cell surface protein quantitation and tracking, and screening drugs related with surface protein internalization, multimerization and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to bioengineering technology, in particular to a method for rapid fluorescent labeling of proteins. Background technique [0002] Fluorescent labeling of target proteins at the level of living cells is an important means to study the activities and characteristics of target proteins. GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein, green fluorescent protein) and its derivatives are widely used in live cell fluorescence microscopy imaging. The usual strategy is to fuse the full-length GFP to the N-terminal or C-terminal of the target protein to achieve the purpose of introducing fluorescent labels. However, for many specific proteins, the fusion of GFP often leads to the destruction of its structure and function or the difficulty of correct folding of GFP itself, which affects the research on the target protein. On the other hand, by fusing the full-length GFP to the target protein to introduce a fluorescent label, GFP often requires a maturation ...
