Objective To develop prokaryotic expression vectors for PrelQ and its mutant GST fusion protein expressions, purification and activity identification. Methods cDNAs of PrelQ and its mutant were cloned into pGEX-6p- 1 plasmid vector, and then transformed to the Escherichia coli BL21 component cells. The transformed BL21 cells were stimulated with IPTG for the expression of GST fusion proteins with PreIQ and its mutant. The fusion proteins were purified with Glutathione-Sepharose 4B beads. SDS-PAGE was used to detect the purity and relative molecular weight. Bradford method was used to determine the concentration of pttfified PreIQ and its mutant. The protein activity was examined by pull-down method. Results SDS-PAGE showed high purity of PreIQ and its mutant with the concentration around 2 mg/mL, which was enough for molecular biological and eleetrophysiological studies. The purified PreIQ and its mutant in this study successfully bind to CaM. Conclusion Pmkaryotic expression vec- tors of PreIQ and its mutant fusion proteins were successfully constructed, and bioaetive fusion proteins were obtained. These results provided a basis for further biological function studies of PreIQ.
