Molecular cloning and functional expression of hemolysin from the sea anemone Actineria villosa.

Abstract:

:The full-length cDNA that encodes the hemolytic toxin Avt-I, with 226 amino acids, from the venomous sea anemone Actineria villosa has been cloned using the oligo-capping method. The cDNA contains 681bp open reading frame and its predicted amino acid sequences revealed that Avt-I was basic polypeptides without cysteine residues and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif sequence. The mature Avt-I has a predicted molecular weight of 19.6 kDa and its theoretical isoelectric point is 9.3. The Avt-I revealed 99, 61, 57, and 57% amino acid similarity with hemolytic toxins Pstx20, EqtII, StII, and HmT from Phyllodiscus semoni, Actinia Equina, Stichodactyla helianthus, and Heteractis magnifica, respectively. The characteristic amphiphilic alpha-helix structure was found at the N-terminal region of the mature Avt-I. Recombinant Avt-I (rAvt-I) was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain as a biologically active form and purified rAvt-I caused 50% hemolytic activity against 1% sheep erythrocytes at a concentration of 6.3 ng/ml (0.32 nM). M9Y medium led to more than 2-fold increase in rAvt-I yield than cultivation in Luria-Bertani medium.
