Production of VP3-only virus-like particles of Adeno-associated virus 2 in E. coli cells
Adeno-associated Virus (AAV) is a promising vector for gene therapy. However, few studies have focused on producing virus-like particles (VLPs) of AAV in cells, especially in E. coli. In this study, we describe a method to produce empty VP3-only VLPs of AAV2 in E. coli by co-expressing VP3 and assembly-activating protein (AAP) of AAV2. Although the yields of VLPs produced with our method were low, the VLPs were able to self-assemble in E. coli without the need of in vitro capsid assembly. The produced VLPs were characterized by immunological detection and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In conclusion, this study demonstrated that capsid assembly of AAV2 is possible in E. coli, and E. coli may be a candidate system for production of VLPs of AAV.
期刊介绍:
Protein Expression and Purification is an international journal providing a forum for the dissemination of new information on protein expression, extraction, purification, characterization, and/or applications using conventional biochemical and/or modern molecular biological approaches and methods, which are of broad interest to the field. The journal does not typically publish repetitive examples of protein expression and purification involving standard, well-established, methods. However, exceptions might include studies on important and/or difficult to express and/or purify proteins and/or studies that include extensive protein characterization, which provide new, previously unpublished information.
