[Objective] Cloning and prokaryotic expression of a novel cDNA encoding the general odor- ant binding protein 2 (GOBP2) from the oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta was conducted. [Method] The full-length cDNA encoding GOBP2 isolated from GraphoLita rnolesta by reverse transcription-polymer- ase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid amplification of cDNA ends-PCR (RACE-PCR) was named as GmolGOBP2. It was then constructed into the expression vector pET-32a and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). [Result] The full length cDNA of GmolGOBP2 was 637 bp (GenBank accession no. JN857940) ,containing a 483 bp open reading frame with 161 amino acids. The deduced molecular weight (MW) was 15. 98 ku and the PI was 4.85. Protein signature analysis indicated that the deduced Gmol- GOBP2 contained an N-terminal signal sequence of 20 amino acids. The GmolGOBP2 was then constructed into the expression vector pET-32a and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) after induction with IPTG. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed the molecular weight of the recombinant GmolGOBP2 was about 32 ku,in consistence with the predicted result. [Conclusion] GmolGOBP2 was cloned and ex- pressed in prokaryotic expression system,which was helpful for further studies on its molecular structure and function in the olfactory system.
