Embodiment 1

[0047] Example 1 Construction of plant transient expression vector

[0048] In order to provide high-efficiency expression of foreign aid proteins in plants, the present invention optimizes the codons of the human hemoglobin Hb-α+2A+Hb-β fusion protein sequence to plant-preferred codons, designed by Integrated DNA Technology (IDT) and designed by Kings Synthesized by Rui Company. An Xbal restriction enzyme site was added to the 5' end of the optimized Hb sequence, and a Sacl site was added to the 3' end, and cloned into pUC57 vector by GenScript. The human hemoglobin gene fragment Hb was isolated from pUC57-Hb by Xbal / Sacl and cloned into the binary plant vector pCam35S to generate the transient expression vector p35S-Hb, respectively. The plant expression constructs were individually transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101 by electroporation with a Multiporator (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). The resulting strains were spread evenly on selective LB plates containin...

Embodiment 2

[0049] Example 2 Agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration

[0050] The present invention optimizes the method of Agrobacterium vacuum infiltration. The prepared Agrobacterium culture suspension was placed in a 2L beaker and placed in a desiccator. The lab-preserved lettuce was inverted (core up) and gently swirled into the bacterial suspension, sealing the desiccator. The vacuum pump (Welch Vacuum, Niles, IL, USA) was turned on to evacuate and the permeate was visible in the leaf tissue. Keep the pressure state for 30-60s. The system is quickly opened to release pressure, allowing permeate to penetrate the space within the tissue. This process was repeated 2 to 3 times until it was clearly visible that the permeate had diffused in the lettuce tissue. The lettuce tissue was then gently removed from the infiltrate and rinsed three consecutive times with distilled water before being transferred to a container covered with plastic film. Treated samples were kept in the dark...

Embodiment 3

[0052] Example 3 Protein extraction and isolation

[0053]The Agrobacterium vacuum-infiltrated lettuce samples were stirred with a stirrer and homogenized at high speed for 1-2 min in a 1:1 volume ratio of extraction buffer (100 mM KPi, pH 7.8; 5 mM EDTA; 10 mM β-mercaptoethanol). The homogenate was adjusted to pH 8.0, filtered through gauze, and the filtrate was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 15 min at 4°C to remove cellular debris. The supernatant was collected, mixed with ammonium sulfate (50%) and incubated on ice for 60 minutes with shaking. Separate again by centrifuge (10,000 g) at 4°C for 15 min. The obtained supernatant was subjected to a second round of ammonium sulfate (70%) precipitation, and was shaken and suspended on ice for 60 min, and centrifuged again at 10,000 g for 15 min at 4°C. Then, the supernatant was discarded and the processed sample precipitated protein was dissolved in 5 mL of buffer (20 mM KPi, pH 7.8; 2 mM EDTA; 10 mM β-mercaptoethanol) and stored ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of plants as hosts in expressing hemoglobin. The present invention utilizes recombinant vector and Agrobacterium-mediated vacuum infiltration method to express human hemoglobin (Hb). The expression system confirms that the plant exogenous protein can be collected after 4 days of Agrobacterium infection. The successful expression of recombinant Hb was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting (Western method). The CO-binding hemoglobin experiment proved that the Hb produced by lettuce had biological activity. The present invention provides a low-cost, convenient and mass production method for recombinant human Hb with activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of plants as hosts in expressing hemoglobin. Background technique [0002] Human hemoglobin (Hemoglobin, Hb), commonly known as hemoglobin, (abbreviation: Hb or Hgb) is a protein responsible for carrying oxygen in higher organisms. Hemoglobin is present in almost all vertebrates and is also distributed in some invertebrate tissues. Hemoglobin in the blood transports oxygen from the respiratory organs to other parts of the body and releases it to meet the needs of the body to oxidize nutrients to support the functioning of the body. In mammals, hemoglobin constitutes 97% of the dry weight of red blood cells and 35% of the total weight. On average, each gram of hemoglobin can bind 1.34 ml of oxygen, which is 70 times the amount of oxygen dissolved in plasma. A single mammalian hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is also invol...
