Cloning and expression of the receptor gene (Bt-r<sub>3</sub>) of the Bt toxic protein CrylAb in E. coli

An extracellular part of the receptor gene (Bt-r<sub>3</sub>) of the Bt toxic protein Cry1Ab, with a length of about 4500 bp, was amplified by PCR and cloned into plasmid prcHis-TOPO. The recombinant plasmid pTrcHis-TOPO/peBt-r<sub>3</sub> was transformed to E. coli, and expr...

Description
Summary:An extracellular part of the receptor gene (Bt-r<sub>3</sub>) of the Bt toxic protein Cry1Ab, with a length of about 4500 bp, was amplified by PCR and cloned into plasmid prcHis-TOPO. The recombinant plasmid pTrcHis-TOPO/peBt-r<sub>3</sub> was transformed to E. coli, and expressed at 37℃ by IPTG induction. SDS-PAGE proved that the molecular weight of expressed product was about 160 kD. Western blotting showed that the recombinant protein could specifically bind to Bt toxic protein Cry1Ab, which validated that the Bt-R<sub>3</sub> was a receptor protein of CrylAb. The binding site of Bt-R<sub>3</sub> with CrylAb was located in extracellular domains of Bt-R<sub>3</sub> protein.
