The invention relates to a method for preparing gosling plague
virus-like granules with an
escherichia coli
system for soluble expression of gosling plague
virus VP2
protein. The method for soluble expression of gosling plague
virus VP2
protein comprises the following steps: performing
codon optimization on a gosling plague virus VP2
gene, performing site-specific
mutagenesis, namely, mutating a codon AGA into CGC and mutating GGA into GGT,
cloning to a pET-Sumo vector, establishing a
recombinant expression vector pET-Sumo-VP2, transforming the pET-Sumo-VP2 into a
prokaryotic expression bacterium, and inducing with IPTG (
isopropyl beta-D-1-Thiogalactopyranoside) at 37 DEG C so as to obtain soluble recombinant VP2 recombinant
protein; and performing
digestion on the recombinant protein with a ULP
enzyme, and purifying with a Ni column, thereby obtaining purified VP2 protein.
Electron microscope results show that the gosling plague virus-like granules can be prepared from VP2 protein after
digestion, and moreover, the purified VP2 protein has good
reactogenicity and can be applied to preparation of
subunit vaccines of gosling plague virus
genetic engineering.
