Abstract:
In order to detect the protein delivery mediated by the PTD (protein transduction domain) of TAT Protein, a expression vector, named pT7460-GFP, was constructed by insert the PTD DNA Sequence, followed by a GFP (green fluorescent protein) gene fused in-frame, into the pT7450 vector. The TAT-GFP fusion protein was expressed in the E. coli ER2566. Most of the fusion protein was presented in the inclusion body. The protein was purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography under denature conditions, then by a Sepharose Q column to remove urea. The soluble denatured protein was added directly to medium containing the Myeloma Cell SP2/0. It came out that the fusion protein could be detected delivered into the cells under fluorescent microscope in a short time.
