摘要：Staphylococcus aureus is a crucial opportunistic pathogen,and the expression of virulence factors in S.aureus is regulated by various of two component signal transduction systems (TCSTs).ArlRS TCST has a close relation with the growth and division of bacteria,and the signal transduction of ArlRS TCST is implemented by the autophosphorylation of histidine kinase ArlS.The intracellular domain of ArlS is regarded as an important functional domain that regulates the expression of virulence factors.The research focus on the kinase activity and function of the intracellular domain of ArlS.The recombinant plasmids pProEX-HTa-arls and pProEX-HTa-arlr were constructed and the target proteins were overexpressed in E.coli BL21.Then different kinds of isolation technologies such as the metal ion affinity chromatography,the ion exchange chromatography and the gel filtration chromatography were used for purification of the recombinant proteins.The production of ArlR can reach 25mg with about 98％ purity from one liter culture medium,and the production of ArlS can reach 15mg with about 90％ purity from one liter culture medium.The circular dichroism detection results showed that the purified ArlR has natural secondary structure.In vitro phosphorylation results showed that ArlS exhibited kinase activity and the ability of autophosphorylation.Furthermore,the phosphorylated ArlS can transfer the phosphate groups to the response regulator protein ArlR.Finally,the recombinant plasmids pProEX-HTa-ArlSCAC418A and pProEX-HTa-ArlSCAG420A were constructed by the method of site-direted mutation,and proteins of ArlSCAG418A and ArlSCAG420A were purified using the metal ion affinity chromatography.The results showed that ArlSCAG418A and ArlSCAG420A did not have the kinase activity,illustrating that the amino acid residues at 418 and 420 are crucial to the autophosphorylation process of ArlS.
