[Prokaryotic expression and purification of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii intraflagellar transport protein 46(IFT46) and preparation of polyclonal antibody].

IFT46 is one of the important components of intraflagellar transport complex B in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, and plays important roles in the assembly, movement and perception of ciliary. To study its functional mechanism, a GST-tagged and an MBP-tagged prokaryotic expression plasmid, pGEX-2T-ift46 and pMAL-C2X-ift46 were constructed, respectively, by inserting ift46 into the pGEX-2T and pMAL-C2X vector, and then transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for protein expression. SDS-PAGE (15%) analysis results showed that the molecular weights of the fusion protein GST-IFT46 and MBP-IFT46 were 70 kDa and 86 kDa, respectively. We used the fusion protein GST-IFT46 purified by affinity adsorption purification (more than 95% purity) for immunity to New Zealand white rabbits. The 5th immune serum was collected and the antibody titer was determined to be 256 000 by ELISA. The antiserum was purified by Protein A affinity adsorption purification and immobilized MBP-IFT46 purification, and the specificity of polyclonal antibodies was evaluated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence. Results showed that the polyclonal antibody prepared could specifically and precisely bind IFT46 in C. reinhardtii, and IFT46 was mainly concentrated at basal body regions and few localized along the entire length of the flagellum as punctuated dots, which will make a foundation to further study the mechanism of IFT46 in cilia related diseases such as obesity, diabetes and polycystic kidney disease.
