The objective of this study was to construct and express recombinant prokaryotic plasmid pET32a (+)- ast1 in E. coli BL21(DE3). Amastin gene was amplified from genomic DNA of Leishmania Donovani and its transmembran region was predicted by the methods of SOSUI and Tmpred; astl located in N-terminus of amastin gene was amplified and cloned into prokaryotic plasmid pET32a(+), which was named pET32a(+)-ast1, and then rAST1 was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). The results of SDS-PAGE and immunobloting assay showed that a fusion protein rAST1 (relative molecular mass about 27 kDa) was able to express in BL21. The recombinant prokaryotic plasmid pET32a(+)- ast1 was successfully constructed, and noted to be efficiently expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3).
本研究的目的是构建重组原核质粒pET32a(+)-ast1并在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中表达。从杜氏利什曼原虫基因组DNA中扩增无鞭毛体蛋白基因,并用SOSUI和Tmpred方法预测其跨膜区;扩增位于无鞭毛体蛋白基因N端的ast1并克隆到原核质粒pET32a(+)中,命名为pET32a(+)-ast1,然后在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中表达rAST1。SDS-PAGE和免疫印迹分析结果表明,融合蛋白rAST1(相对分子质量约为27 kDa)能够在BL21中表达。成功构建了重组原核质粒pET32a(+)-ast1,并发现其能在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中高效表达。
