A prokaryotic expression vector (pCold-SUMO) was modified based on the pCold vector, and the vector promoter (CSPromoter) was derived from Antarctic acidophilic bacteria. At low temperatures, bacteria grow slowly, which slows down protein synthesis, thereby maximizing the probability of correct protein folding, improving protein soluble expression, and enhancing the expression ratio of active proteins. Expression of the SUMO tag contained in the expression system can greatly increase the expression of small molecular weight proteins and further increase the probability of soluble protein expression. TEE signal peptide can enhance the high expression of the target protein under the regulation of cold promoter. The chaperone protein particle is chloramphenicol-resistant (chloramphenicol, Cmr), and its expression is controlled by the tetracycline (tetR) operon. PCold-SUMO plasmid is a high-efficiency protein expression vector designed using the cold shock gene CSPA promoter. Downstream of the E.COLI promoter, the lac operator was inserted to control expression. In addition, the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), translation enhancing element (TEE), His tag sequence, factor Xa cleavage site and multiple cloning site (MCS) are located downstream of the CAPS promoter. When the culture temperature is switched to low temperature, E. coli temporarily stops growing and the expression of most E. coli proteins decreases, but a type of protein called cold shock protein is specifically induced.

Based on the human NMDAR1 gene sequence, Phyre 2 software was used to predict the tertiary structure of the protein and analyze its domains. Primers were designed to amplify nucleic acid fragments encoding different domains of NMDAR1 outer membrane protein using RT-PCR method, and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pCold-SUMO to construct a recombinant plasmid. The correct recombinant was identified to transform E. coli BL21(DE3), and IPTG induced the expression and purification of the target protein. Protein purity was determined using SDS-PAGE, and immunoreactivity was identified using Western blotting.

Three DNA sequences of the extramembrane part of NMDAR1 were cloned, namely NR1-M1, NR1-S1 and NR1-S2. The NR1-S1 and NR1-S2 fragments are connected using G (glycine) and T (threonine) as linkers to form a composite fragment. After colony PCR screening and sequencing identification, the recombinant plasmids pCold-SUMO-M1 and pCold-SUMO-S1-GT-S2 were successfully constructed. SDS-PAGE identification results showed that the recombinant plasmid could express soluble NR1-M1 and NR1-S1-GT-S2 proteins in E. coli. The expression product was subjected to affinity chromatography and gel filtration chromatography to obtain high-purity target protein. Western blotting confirmed that the purified target protein can specifically bind to the corresponding antibody.

The pCold-SUMO Vector is widely used in the fields of molecular biology and biotechnology. Here are several applications of pCold-SUMO Vector. Production of Recombinant Proteins: The pCold-SUMO Vector is often used to produce recombinant proteins in bacteria, particularly in Escherichia coli. The vector contains the SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier) tag which helps improve the expression and solubility of the target protein, making the protein easier to purify. Protein Folding and Stability: The SUMO tag present in pCold-SUMO Vector can enhance the correct folding of the recombinant protein and improve its stability. This is particularly useful when producing proteins that have difficulty folding properly. Improving Protein Solubility: The SUMO tag in the pCold-SUMO vector increases the solubility of the target protein. This aids in preventing the formation of inclusion bodies, which are insoluble protein aggregates that often form when proteins are overexpressed in bacteria. High-Level Expression: The pCold-SUMO Vector allows for high-level expression of the target protein due to its cold shock promoter. Protein Purification: The pCold-SUMO Vector simplifies the process of protein purification. The vector contains a His-tag which allows the proteins to be easily isolated using nickel-based chromatography.
