Problems solved by technology

In order to solve these problems, it is very necessary to have an overall structure of the polymerase at atomic resolution. However, since the influenza virus polymerase is a 250KD complex, in order to perform its various functions, it may have multiple conformations. , especially the acquisition of the crystal structure has caused great obstacles, so even after decades of efforts, there is still no structure of the overall complex of influenza virus polymerase reported

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for crystallizing influenza virus RNA polymase, which comprises the steps of carrying out coexpression on a PB1 subunit encoding gene, a PA subunit encoding gene and a PB2 truncated subunit encoding gene of influenza virus RNA polymase in an insect cell to obtain RNA polymase; and purifying and crystallizing to obtain a influenza virus RNA polymase crystal. An experiment proves that PB2 truncated protein segments which have different lengths and amino ends retained and other two subunit full-length proteins are subjected to coexpression purification and complex assembling, a small truncated complex can use different strains to obtain crystal at multiple truncating circumstances. The method lays a foundation for structure analysis of influenza virus RNA polymase and also has important meanings for anti-influenza virus drug screening and design and research and development process of broad spectrum vaccines and drugs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and relates to a method for crystallizing influenza virus RNA polymerase, in particular to a method for expressing, purifying and crystallizing an influenza virus RNA polymerase complex. Background technique [0002] Influenza virus, especially influenza A virus, has always been a big problem threatening human society. It has a wide range of hosts including humans, pigs, horses and poultry, etc., and can cause upper respiratory tract infections in humans and animals, namely influenza. It can spread rapidly through the air, causing several worldwide pandemics in the last century. Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and are negative-sense single-stranded RNA segmented genome viruses. Its genome is divided into 8 segments, and it has been found that at least 16 proteins can be encoded. Although there are many anti-influenza virus drugs and vaccines, these drugs and vaccines mainly t...
