Objective To clone and determine the nucleotide sequence of the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) gene of Plasmodium falciparum isolate FCC1/HN, and analyze the differences of the sequences of GDH genes among isolate FCC1/HN and other ones worldwide. Methods The GDH gene was amplified by PCR technique from genomic DNA of isolate FCC1/HN. Then it was cloned into pMD18 T vector. The positive clones were screened and identified by agarose gel electrophoresis and endonuclease digestion and PCR technique. The cloned GDH gene was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. And the DNAstar software was used to find out the differences of the sequences of the GDH genes among different P. falciparum isolates. Results The GDH gene of isolate FCC1/HN was specifically amplified, and the correct recombinant plasmid pT GDH was constructed. The result of sequencing the nucleotides showed that the GDH gene of isolate FCC1/HN was 1 329 base pairs in full length, encoding 442 amino acids. P. falciparum isolates FCC1/HN, FCQ27 and K1 have a few different amino acids deduced from the GDH genes. Conclusion The GDH gene of P. falciparum isolate FCC1/HN was successfully cloned and sequenced. Sequences analysis showed that the GDH genes of isolate FCC1/HN and other ones shared high homology.
