Objective: To construct recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid of LC3B-PLA2 and measure activity of Atg4B. Methods: The fragment of human LC3B gene was obtained from a human breast cDNA library by PCR and cloned into pCMV-Myc vector together with PLA2GIO. For expression analysis, HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with pCMV-Myc-LC3B-PLA2 and analyzed by Western blot. For the activity of Atg4B analysis, HEK293T cells were transiently transfected with peDNA3.0-Flag and pCMV-Myc-LC3B-PLA2, or pcDNA3.0-Flag- Atg4B and pCMV-Myc-LC3B-PLA2, and analyzed by Western blot. Results: pCMV-Myc-LC3B-PLA2 was veri- fied by PCR and double-enzyme cleavage. Western blot showed that the recombinant plasmid was successfully ex- pressed, and the recombinant protein can measure the activity of Atg4B. Conclusion: The recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmid pCMV-Myc-LC3B-PLA2 has been constructed, and it express protein which plays a critical role for measuring the activity of Atg4B, laying a foundation for the future study of the role of Atg4B in autophagy.
