Brevinin-2R, a member of a new family of antimicrobial peptides isolated from the skin of Rana ridibunda, displays antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. In this study, we have used an assembly PCR method for the fast and extremely accurate synthesis of the brevinin-2R gene. A total of six primers were assembled in a single step PCR, and the assembly was then amplified by PCR to produce the final gene. The synthetic gene was cloned into the pET32a (+) vector to allow the expression of brevinin-2R as a Trx fusion protein in Escherichia coli. The results indicated that the expression level of the fusion protein could reach up to 25% of the total cell proteins. The expression products could be easily purified by Ni-NTA chromatography and released from the fusion protein by factor Xa protease. The peptide displayed antimicrobial activity similar to that of the purified brevinin that was reported earlier. This method allows the fast synthesis of a gene that optimized the overexpression in the E. coli system and production of sufficiently large amounts of peptide for functional and structural characterizations.

Brevinin-2R是从Rana ridibunda皮肤中分离出的抗菌肽新家族的成员,对细菌和真菌具有抗菌活性。在这项研究中,我们使用了组装PCR方法来快速,极其准确地合成brevinin-2R基因。在单步PCR中总共组装了六个引物,然后通过PCR扩增组装以产生最终基因。将合成基因克隆到pET32a (+) 载体中,以使brevinin-2R作为Trx融合蛋白在大肠杆菌中表达。结果表明,融合蛋白的表达水平最高可达细胞总蛋白的25%。表达产物可以很容易地通过Ni-NTA色谱法纯化,并通过因子Xa蛋白酶从融合蛋白中释放出来。该肽具有与先前报道的纯化的brevinin相似的抗菌活性。这种方法可以快速合成优化大肠杆菌系统中过表达的基因,并产生足够大量的肽以进行功能和结构表征。
