Abstract

|
For antibody development of human serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT, EC 2.3.1.50), SPTLC1 and SPTLC2 genes were subcloned in pRset vector and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3)pLys cells. Eucaryotic SPT is a membrane-bound heterodimer enzyme, while all other members are soluble homodimer enzymes. cDNA library were obtained from total RNA from human embryo kidney cell line, HEK293, using RT-PCR and PCR with specific primers was carried out for preparing SPTLC1 and SPTLC2 genes. pRset vector which can express hexahistidine-tag fusion protein was used and the DNA sequences of pRsetB/SPTLC1 and pRsetA/SPTLC2 were confirmed. Recombinant BL21 cells with SPTLC subunits were selected with LB plate containing ampicillin and chroramphenicol. SPTLC1 and SPTLC2 proteins were induced with 1 mM IPTG and seperated on 10% SDS-PAGE gel. Expressed proteins were confirmed by western blotting with His-tag antibody.
