Here we report the expression of HIV-1 gp160 and its mutated proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two strong hydrophobic regions, aa 511-537 and aa 679-703, were predicted by GCG Wisconsin Package software and removed to investigate the solubility of the mutated gp160 (gp160Delta12). The results showed that gp160Delta12 assumes high solubility as to be present in supernatant of cell lysate exclusively. The mutant exists as trimeric form in solutions via some inter-molecule disulfide bonds, which can be associated to monomer with the reduced reaction of DTT. The fermentation procedure was optimized to get high cell density yield and expression level as approximately 10 mg/L. After purification with electro elution, gp160Delta12 was checked as glycosylation form by Endo-H deglycosylating catalysis. The ELISA performed with a panel of human sera suggests that the purified gp160Delta12 shares some determinants with gp120 and gp41, but exposes some distinct epitopes that react with early HIV-infected antibody. Thus, we may provide a novel antigen for immunodetection assay, vaccine candidate, and other relative research purposes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
