项目摘要

The Protein Expression and Libraries Facility (Protein Expression) provides Cancer Center members efficient and expert technical assistance in recombinant DMA plasmid engineering, protein expression in bacteria and baculovirus-infected insect cells, purification of recombinant proteins to homogeneity, and production of high-titer stocks of retroviruses (e.g. lentiviruses) for delivery of shRNA and cDNAs to mammalian cells. The Facility has expertise in all aspects of vector technology for protein expression, baculovirus generation, recombinant protein expression, and affinity and conventional chromatography approaches to protein purification, and production of infectious lenti-/retroviruses. The proteins produced by the facility must be of high quality and purity in order to be used by Cancer Center scientists to achieve a wide range of experimental objectives, such as characterization of enzymatic activities, crystallization for structural analysis, characterization of structure-function relationships of protein:protein, protein:nucleic acid, and protein:small molecule interactions; development of assays for small molecule high throughput screening; and immunization of mice to generate custom antibodies utilizing the Hybridoma Facility. The facility will continue to expand it's repertoire of vectors available for protein expression, included high titer retroviral vectors, acquire RNAi libraries, and implement a new assay development service for highthroughput screening of small molecule libraries. The facility personnel are highly trained technical experts in all areas of the proposed support services to be provided to the individual projects. The centralization and standardization of these practices under the direction of very experienced staff allows for high-throughput expression plasmid construction and large-volume protein expression services, including quality assurance and control procedures to ensure efficient, consistent production and purification of high quality recombinant proteins. The Facility also maximizes biosafety by confining retrovirus (e.g. lentivirus) production to a centralized biosafety level 2 (BSL2) unit, which prevents aerosolization of viruses from contaminating incubators and parental cultures of cell lines, and improves quality control in the production of virus stocks to be used in gain- and loss-of-function experiments in vitro and in vivo. Currently the Facility is being expanded to accommodate the storage and handling of viral libraries, additional purification instruments, and the rapid assay systems to meet Cancer Center needs.
