Abstract

An expression system has been designed for the rapid and economic expression of recombinant neurotensin for biophysical studies. A synthetic gene for neurotensin (Glu1-Leu2-Tyr3-Glu4-Asn5-Lys6-Pro7-Arg8-Arg9-Pro10-Tyr11-Ile12-Leu13) was cloned into the pGEX-5X-2 vector to allow expression of neurotensin as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion protein. The inclusion of a methionine residue between the glutathione S-transferase and the neurotensin has facilitated the rapid cleavage of the neurotensin from its carrier protein. Purification of recombinant neurotensin was performed by reverse-phase HPLC. This method produced a relatively high yield of peptide and offers the potential for economic partial or uniform labeling of small peptides (<15 amino acids) with isotopes for NMR or other biophysical techniques
