Embodiment 1

[0056] In this example, the expression vector of the target protein was constructed, and the expression vector was introduced into Escherichia coli to realize expression and production.

[0057] The specific operations of this example include: using two restriction enzymes, NdeI and XhoI, to construct and produce CTD 1 、CTD 2 、CTD 3 expression vector. Afterwards, different vectors were transformed into Escherichia.coli BL21 (DE3) cells, and the strain was cultured in 4 mL LB medium containing ampicillin at 37°C until the OD600 was 1.8-2.0, and then transformed into cells containing Cultivate in 100mL LB medium containing ampicillin at 37°C; when OD600 is 3.0-4.0, transfer all of them to 800mL TB medium containing ampicillin and culture at 37°C; when OD600 is 6.0-8.0, add 1mM Bacteria were harvested after induction with IPTG16°C for 12-16 hours.

[0058]The bacterial strains, plasmids, enzymes, antibiotics and culture medium involved in the above operations of this example ...

Embodiment 2

[0064] The construction of this embodiment produces (Rep) 4 -CTD 1 , (CTD 1 ) 4 expression vector, and by the method in Example 1, expression production was carried out in Escherichia coli Escherichia.coliBL21 (DE3).

[0065] In this example, a protein solution with a concentration of 150 mg / mL was obtained. The rheological properties between 0°C and 80°C were measured with a rotational rheometer (HAAKE MARS III) at a frequency of 1 rad / s and experimental conditions of 2°C / min.

[0066] The results showed that (CTD 1 ) 2 During the heating process, a phase transition (G’>G”) occurs at ~40°C, hydrogels form, and the elastic modulus (G’) changes continuously, up to 10 5 Pa (see Figure 9 ).

Embodiment 3

[0068] In this example, the bacteria obtained in Example 1 were resuspended according to the ratio of 1 g of wet bacteria to 10 mL of BufferA; lysozyme was added at a ratio of 0.5 mg / mL and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes; after ultrasonic disruption, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm to obtain the supernatant, After filtering through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, the sample was loaded on a column filled with Ni‐Sepharose. After washing away non-specifically bound proteins with BufferB, the target protein was eluted with BufferC. Concentrate the target protein to 130-150mg / mL with a concentration tube with a cut-off flow of 10kDa, and then replace the solvent of the target protein with 20mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.2 by means of continuous addition and centrifugation.

[0069] Run the eluate of BufferC on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions (such as figure 1 ‐2). Arrows in the figure indicate the main bands of the corresponding recombinant proteins.

[0070] The used buffer of above-m...

Abstract

The invention relates to a thermosensitive hydrogel based on spider silk protein, belonging to the field of biotechnology. The thermosensitive hydrogel is prepared through the steps that nucleotide sequences of c-terminus domain (CTD) and a derived peptide segment thereof of spider silk protein which are artificially designed are connected to pET-19b plasmid vector seamlessly, are expressed by escherichia coli, and then separated and purified, and finally the hydrogel is formed through corresponding temperature control. According to the invention, the hydrogel with dense bore diameter and elasticity modulus being 10<5>Pa is prepared from the CTD and the derived peptide segment thereof of the spider silk protein, and specifically, the hydrogel can be applied to medical field, such as tissue engineering.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a spidroin material that can be used to prepare hydrogels, in particular to prepare a biosynthetic carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of a spider dragline protein and its derived peptides into a hydrogel. Background technique [0002] Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network structure formed by the cross-linking of hydrophilic substances. The higher water content makes it possible to simulate the environment in which natural organisms live and endows it with better biocompatibility. In addition, the porous microstructure of hydrogel makes it permeable to a certain extent, and the three-dimensional network structure can provide certain mechanical support, so hydrogel has a wide range of uses in medicine, pharmacy, and biomaterials, such as contact lenses , artificial organ materials, and drug delivery carriers, etc. According to the response to external environmental stimuli, hydrogels can be divided into two categories: traditional...
