A study to construct three prokaryotic expression vectors and its expression in adenosine deaminase / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To express adenosine deaminase protein by molecular cloning technique.MethodsTotal RNA was extracted from human leukocytes and the cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription.Whereupon the cDNA was used as a template to amplify adenosine deaminase gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then integrated it into three prokaryotic plasmids pET-28 b, pET-32 a (+) and pHSIE.The plasmid with the correct sequencing was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) by CaCl2 method for the protein expression.The expression activity of these fusion proteins were detected by Western-blot and SDS-PAGE, with the optimized expression conditions.Results Complete fusion of target gene and three prokaryotic plasmids was observed through sequencing.The expressed and accurate ADA protein was identified by Westernblot and SDS-PAGE.The optimal expression conditions were observedthe protein expression would be induced with 0.4 mmol/L IPTG and incubated at 16℃for 24 hours.Conclusion The prokaryotic vectors of adenosine deaminase (BL21+pET-28 b+ADA, BL21+pET-32 a+ADA, BL21+pHSIE+ADA) were successfully constructed and efficiently expressed.
