Objective To construct a prokaryotic expression vector expressing mouse sterol carrier protein Z (SCP-2), and then transform the constructed plasmid, after expression and purification, into prokaryotic cells to obtain the active fusion protein, so as to provide a useful tool for the further study of the related biological functions of SCP-2. Methods The total RNA was extracted from the liver tissue of BALB/c mice, and the corresponding coding sequences of mouse SCP-2 (GenBank accession No. NM-011327) were amplified by RT PCR and then cloned into the His-tagged vector pET14b. The constructed vector was then transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3), which had been verified by PCR and double digestion with restriction endonuclease, followed by sequencing. After IPTG induction, the recombinant protein with His-tag was purified with Ni2+ -NTA affinity chromatography method and then renatured. The purified protein was then identified by SIT, PAGE, finally, the protein band with the right molecular weight was picked and analyzed with MALDI-TOF/ TOF mass spectrometry technology. Results The results of identification by PCR, digestion with restriction endonuclease and sequencing indicated that the recombinant plasmid was correctly constructed. The molecular weight of the purified fusion protein was 59KD by SDS- PAGE, which was identical to the molecular weight of mouse SCP-2 as predicted, and it was verified that the protein band was mouse SCP 2 with mass spectrometry analysis, Conclusion The prokaryotic expression vector with His-tag for SCP-2 fusion protein has been successfully constructed and effectively expressed, and the purified fusion protein has been verified, which can serve as a convenient and useful tool for the further study of the related biological functions of SCP-2.
