High Level Expression of Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene PsG6PDH from Populus suaveolens in E. coli

In order to investigate the functions of the gene PsG6PDH and the mechanisms underlying freezing tolerance of Populus suaveolens, the recombinant expression vector pET-G （pET30a-G6PDH）, which contained full encoding region of PsG6PDH gene, was established. The recombinant was identified by lawn-PCR and double enzyme digestion and then transformed into expression host XA90 and induced by isopropyl-a-D-thiogalactoside （IPTG） to express 100 kD polypeptide of G6PDH fusion protein. The results showed that the expressed amount of the fusion protein culminated after 1 mmol·L^-1 IPTG treatment for 4h and that pET-G product was predominately soluble and not extra-cellular secreting.

苹果S6PDH基因克隆与原核表达

6-磷酸山梨醇脱氢酶(sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase,S6PDH)是蔷薇科植物中合成山梨醇的重要酶。以苹果叶片为材料,利用RT-PCR法克隆到S6PDHcDNA全长,将其与大肠杆菌表达载体pET-32a(+)构建原核表达载体pET-S并转化大肠杆菌BL21,经IPTG诱导表达后,SDS-PAGE检测结果表明该基因表达了1个约54kD的蛋白,为进一步研究目的蛋白的结构和功能提供了试验基础。
