
A baculovirus is a viral parasite
that infects insects

Ac92 is a baculovirus protein
that binds FAD and has
sulfhydryl oxidase activity

Human p53 expressed from a
baculovirus vector copurifies
with Ac92 (Ac92 and human
p53 can physically interact)
http://www.biochem.wisc.edu/faculty/friesen/

Involved in viral assembly, as has been shown for
sulfhydryl oxidases of mammalian viruses

defeats the antiviral activity of host cell p53
(mechanisms to defeat p53 are common in
mammalian viruses)

Ac92 binds to Sfp53 (the p53 protein of
Spodoptera frugiperda – the natural host of
baculoviruses)

Ac92 oxidizes Sfp53

Sfp53 is inhibited by oxidation



Ac92 binds Sfp53: co-immunoprecipitation
assays
Ac92 oxidizes Sfp53: sulfhydrylhistochemistry
Sfp53 is inhibited by oxidation: target gene
activation in transfected insect cells



Screen for recombinant bacteria that
overexpress Sfp53 and Ac92 that contain
reciprocal epitope tags
Prepare purified epitope-tagged Sfp53 and
Ac92
Determine if HA-tagged Sfp53 coprecipitates
Ac92 and if Flag-tagged Ac92 coprecipitates
Sfp53

Dr. George Rohrmann provided BL21 (E. coli)
glycerol stocks




3 clones with HIS tagged HA tagged Sfp53
5 clones with HIS tagged Flag tagged Ac92
Clones also contained kanamycin resistance
Cells are grown in liquid medium containing
kanamycin to kill all non-transformed bacteria


The proteins Sfp53 and Ac92 should only be
produced in the presence of IPTG
Comparing induced and uninduced protein
products should confirm that the clones work

Conclusions:
1) Sfp53 clones are correct (they produce a 46-kD that is inducible by IPTG)
2) Ac92 clones are incorrect (they don’t produce detectable protein)
Subsequent sequencing showed the clones had a frameshift mutation.

Conclusions: Most of the Sfp53 is contained in the high speed pellet, and relatively
little is contained in the purified portions.
By Lowry, the protein concentration of the most concentrated eluate
is less than 1μg/μL, not enough for use.
