[Method]According to the wheat HSP60 gene sequence in GenBank,a pair of primers P1/P2 were designed and synthesized. The wheat HSP60 gene fragment was amplified from the wheat RNA by RT-PCR and inserted into bacterial expression vector of pGEX-4T-1. The construct of pGEX-4T-1-HSP60 was subsequently transformed into E.coli BL21. [Result]The construct of pGEX-4T-1-HSP60 was verified by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequenced. Compared with the sequences of wheat HSP60 genes in GenBank,homology accounted to 100%. Expression of the GST-HSP60 fusion protein was induced with IPTG. Its molecular weight was about 90 kD. The result was identified by electrophoresis of SDS-PAGE. Expression of the protein bands was consistent with the expected size. [Conclusion]The recombinant prokaryotic expression vector in pGEX-4T-1-HSP60 was constructed successfully and expressed stably in E.coli BL21. This will lay the foundation for further study on the functions of the protein and its mechanism.展开更多
