RECOMBINANT PLASMID DNA pTB232, WHICH CODES HYBRID POLYPEPTIDE GST-CFP10 WITH PROPERTIES OF SPECIES-SPECIFIC MYCOBACTERIAL ANTIGEN CFP10, RECOMBINANT STRAIN OF BACTERIA Escherichia coli-PRODUCER OF HYBRID POLYPEPTIDE GST-CFP10 AND RECOMBINANT POLYPEPTIDE GST-CFP10 Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC C12N15/31 C12N1/21 C07K19/00 

FIELD: biotechnologies.

SUBSTANCE: invention is related to production of new hybrid polypeptide GST-CFP10 by microbiological synthesis with properties of species-specific protein-antigen CFP10 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which may be used for early species-specific diagnostics of tuberculosis infection. Recombinant plasmid DNA pTB232 has been constructed, which codes hybrid polypeptide GST-CFP10 with properties of mycobacterial antigen CFP10, with average molecular weight (m.w.) 3.4 MDa and having size of 5257 p.n. Recombinant strain of bacteria E. coli BL21/pTB232 contains recombinant plasmid DNA pTB232, is producer of hybrid polypeptide GST-CFP 10 with properties of mycobacterial antigen CFP10 and is deposited in KM GNC VB "Vector" under number B-1027. Recombinant polypeptide GST-CFP10, produced with strain of bacteria E. coli BL21/pTB232, contains as protein-carrier N-end polypeptide fragment glutathione S-transferase S.j. (226 a.o. with m.w. of 26.3 kDa), joined via end site of thrombin hydrolysis (LVPR^∧GS) with C-end polypeptide fragment of antigen CFP10 (100 a.o. with m.w. of 10.8 kDa) and has complete aminoacid sequence with length of 326 a.o. and m.w. of 37.1 kDa, given in text of description.

EFFECT: use of invention provides for the possibility to produce target highly pure hybrid polypeptide GST-CFP10 in preparative amounts with preservation of immunogenic properties of the latter.
