Based on splicing by overlapping extension (SOE) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ,theag85aandmpb70were amplified and the fusion gene ag85a-mpb70 were cloned into pMD18-T vector, and then we got the recombinant plasmid pMD-85a-70. pMD-85a-70 and pET28a (+) were digested byBamHI andEcoRI double enzymes. The purified ag85a-mpb70 fusion gene was subcloned into the expression vector pET28a (+),and the prokaryotic expression vector pET-85a-70 was constructed. Plasmid containing pET-85a-70 was transformed into competenceEscherichia coliBL21(DE3).The bacterium was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), approximately 49 kDa fusion protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The protein was analyzed by using Western-blotting. The results indicated that Ag85A-MPB70 was of antigenic activity ofMycobacterium bovis. These results could serve as a basis for further studies on the usefulness of the fusion gene and its expression product in the development of novel vaccine against bovine tuberculosis.

FLO5 has been identified as a dominant flocculation gene. The goal of this study is to clone the FLO5 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and express it in E. coli. In this study, the FLO5 gene amplified by PCR from S. cerevisiae was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a to form expression vector pET28a-FLO5, finally, transferred into E.coli BL21. Methods: FLO5 gene was amplified by PCR from genomic DNA extracted from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The amplified FLO5 gene fragment was then recombined with clone vector pMD18-T to form clone vector pMD18-T-FLO5 amplified in E.coli JM109. After confirmed with sequencing, FLO5 fragment cut out from pMD18-T-FLO5 by enzyme EcoRI and NotI was recombined into expression vector pET-28a to form vector pET28a-FLO5. Vector pET28a-FLO5 was then transferred into E. coli BL21 and protein FLO5 was expressed in E. coli BL21 by the induction with IPTG. Expressed protein fragments separated by SDS-PAGE showed a band with the size of protein FLO5 suggesting the expression of gene FLO5. with the expected This study will lay the foundation for further research in studying flocculating effect of exogenous protein expressed by genetic engineering and making new flocculating agent through recombinant engineering.

Gene encoding β-glucosidase was amplified through PCR by using the genome DNA extracted from L .delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii as a template. The gene encoding β-glucosidase was inserted into a prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a(+) and expressed in E.coli strain BL21(DE3). The gene encoding β-glucosidase was of 1380bp. The nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding β-glucosidase from L. delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii showed as high as 97.9% homology comparing with that from L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus indicating that the gene encoding β-glucosidase is highly conservative. The enzyme activity was about 34U/mg and the molecular weight of β-glucosidase is about 51 kDa analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract The wild-type Cry1Ie gene from Bacillus thuringiensis was modified for its efficient expression in transgenic plants. Modified Cry1Ie gene (designated as Cry1Iem) was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET28b and its expression in E. coli was confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. Bioassays using crude expression products in E. coli revealed that Cry1Iem protein had a similar toxicity to corn borer as wild-type Cry1Ie. Cry1Iem gene was then inserted downstream of the maize ubiquitin-1 promoter in plant expression vector p3301. Transgenic tobacco plants carrying Cry1Iem showed insecticidal activity against corn borer.

SummaryCongenitally abnormal fibrinogen Osaka III with the replacement of γ Arg-275 by His was found in a 38-year-old female with no bleeding or thrombotic tendency. Release of fibrinopeptide(s) by thrombin or reptilase was normal, but her thrombin or reptilase time in the absence of calcium was markedly prolonged and the polymerization of preformed fibrin monomer which was prepared by the treatment of fibrinogen with thrombin or reptilase was also markedly defective. Propositus' fibrinogen had normal crosslinking abilities of α- and γ-chains. Analysis of fibrinogen chains on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) in the system of Laemmli only revealed the presence of abnormal γ-chain with an apparently higher molecular weight, the presence of which was more clearly detected with SDS-PAGE of fibrin monomer obtained by thrombin treatment. Purified fragment D1 of fibrinogen Osaka III also seemed to contain an apparently higher molecular weight fragment D1 γ remnant on Laemmli gels, which was digested faster than the normal control by plasmin in the presence of [ethy-lenebis(oxyethylenenitrilo)]tetraacetic acid (EGTA).
