RECOMBINANT PLASMID DNA pTB323 CODING HYBRID POLYPEPTIDE CST-DELTAMPT64 WITH PROPERTIES OF SPECIES-SPECIFIC MYCOBACTERIAL ANTIGEN MPT64 (MPB64), RECOMBINANT ESCHERICHIA COLI BACTERIAL STRAIN - PRODUCER OF HYBRID POLYPEPTIDE CST-DELTAMPT64 AND RECOMBINANT POLYPEPTIDE CST-DELTAMPT64 Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C12N15/09 C12N15/31 C12N15/70 C07K14/195 C07K19/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: recombinant plasmid DNA pTB323 under the invention coding the hybrid polypeptide glutathione-8-transferase (GST) and a shorter version of the protein MPT64 (rΔMPT64), has an average molecular weight 3.6 MDa, size 5574 base pairs, consists of: a) EcoRI-BamHI-fragment of the vector plasmid pGEX-2T of size 4938 base pairs containing the β-lactamase gene inducing tac-promotor, the internal gene Iaclg coding the lactose operone repressor protein, a glutathione-5-transferase gene fragment from S. japonicum with a multiple sites of gene cloning (MSC) in 3'-terminal part of this gene and a nucleotide sequence coding a thrombine proteolysis site and found in front of the MSC; b) EcoRI-BamHI-fragment of 636 base pairs containing a truncated gene MPT64 flanked by EcoRI and BamHI restriction endonuclease sites and prepared by amplification of the gene-related fragment with genome DNA M. tuberculosis; c) a genetic marker - β-lactamase gene determining resistance of pTB323 plasmid transformed cells E. coli to the antibiotic ampicillin; d) unique restriction sites: BamHI - 930/934, EcoRI ~ 1566/1570. The recombinant bacterial strain Escherichia coli BL21/pTB323 - producer of hybrid polypeptide GST-ΔMPT64 with the properties of the mycobacterial antigen ΔMPT64 is deposited in the Collection of Microorganisms of Federal State Research Institution State Science Centre Vector, No. B-1028. The recombinant polypeptide GST-ΔMPT64 produced by the recombinant strain under the invention contains as a carrier protein the N-terminal polypeptide fragment glutathione-S-transferase S.j. (226 amino acid residues, 26.31 kDa) and has a complete amino acid sequence (431 amino acid residues, 48.76 kDa) presented in the description.

EFFECT: using the invention enables developing the high-purity polypeptide in the preparation amounts with the preserved immunogenic properties and provided separation of the target protein from the amino acid sequence of the carrier protein for studying of the immunogenic properties of the target protein.
