ABSTRACT
Objective To prepare recombinant plasminogen activator(Pla) protein in E.coli BL21 cells that can be used in studying interactions between Yersinia pestis proteins and immunologic diagnosis of plague.Methods The pla gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into the pET28a expression vector.E.coli BL21 competent cells were transformed with the recombinant vectors, and isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside ( IPTG) was added to induce expression of Pla protein. The expressed protein was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.The inclusion bodies of Pla protein were denatured in 8 mol/L urea, and then refolded using gradient urea solutions.The purified protein was identified by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Western blot.Results and Conclusion The constructed expression vector was demonstrated to be correct through agarose gel electrophoresis and sequencing.The recombinant Pla protein was accumulated as an inclusion body in E.coli, and the overexpression product was mainly a target protein, the yield of which was very high.SDS-PAGE purity of the bioactive Pla protein was obtained by denaturing and refolding the inclusion bodies.This study provides a simple and quick method for highly efficient preparation of biologically active Pla protein.
