| description | Phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine are the most abundant phospholipid
in eukaryotic cell membrane. Hwnan choline kinase and ethanolamine kinase play a
very important role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine and
phosphatidylethanolamine by catalyzing in the first phosphorylation step of the pathway.
In this study, genes encoding hwnan choline kinase-P (hCK-P) and ethanolamine
kinase-2P (hEK-2P) isoform gene fragments were inserted into newly constructed
plasmid. The plasmid was constructed from commercially purchased transfer plasmid
pBAC4x-1. Open reading frames (ORF) ofhCK-P and hEK-2P were introduced into the
downstream of polyhedrin promoter for expression as histidine-tagged (his-tag) proteins.
The constructs were ready for homologous recombination with Autographa californica
Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (AcNPV) genome. Insect cells infected with the
recombinant AcNPV were expected to overexpress the hCK-P and hEK-2P proteins. |
