Expression of a bee-venom phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> gene from Apis mellifera in Escherichia coli

The venomous phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> (AmPLA<sub>2</sub>) coding reading region of Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera), which was found to be composed of 405 bp, was inserted into the expression vector pET-blue-1. Then the recombinant vector was introduced into Escherichia c...

Description
Summary:The venomous phospholipase A<sub>2</sub> (AmPLA<sub>2</sub>) coding reading region of Italian honeybee (Apis mellifera), which was found to be composed of 405 bp, was inserted into the expression vector pET-blue-1. Then the recombinant vector was introduced into Escherichia coli Tuner (DE3) plac I for expression. Analysis of the result of SDS-PAGE showed that the expression products contained a band of protein of about 15 kD. Detection of western blot using ant-AmPLA<sub>2</sub> polyclonal serum of rabbit as the first antibody showed that a special blot with the some characteristics as the native AmPLA<sub>2</sub> was revealed among the expression products. This was considered as the evidence for successful expression of AmPLA<sub>2</sub> in E. coli.
