Objective To construct a prokaryotic expression vector carrying the gene of fusion protein sTrail-uPA that comprises human soluble tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (sTrail) and a peptide including urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) recognition site
and to express and purify the fusion protein. Methods The gene of sTrail was cloned through RT-PCR. Chimeric gene his-uPA-sTrail was constructed through primer extension
and inserted into vector pET-32a to obtain prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-32a/his-uPA-sTrail. After
transforming
Escherichia coli
BL21(DE3) with pET-32a/his-uPA-sTrail
fusion protein Trx-his-uPA-sTrail was expressed under induction
and then purified and digested by enterokinase (EK) to obtain target fusion protein sTrail-uPA. The target fusion protein was purified
and its antigenicity was detected through Western blotting. Results Plasmid pET-32a/his-uPA-sTrail could express fusion protein Trx-his-uPA-sTrail (38×10
3
). Fusion protein sTrail-uPA (19.5×10
3
)
obtained through digesting Trx-his-uPA-sTrail with EK
possessed antigenicity of human sTrail. Conclusion Fusion protein sTrail-uPA (19.5×10
3
) with human sTrail antigenicity and uPA recognition site as well as its prokaryotic expression vector are successfully constructed.
