Abstract:
Objective To determine the location of PQ-LRP protein in Microsporum canis using the enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP)as a marker.Methods The total RNA was extracted from Microsporum canis,and reversely transcribed into cDNA.The PQ-LRP gene was amplified by PCR using the above cDNA as the template.The fusion gene of PQ-LRP gene and EGFP gene was linked to the plasmid pCAMBIA 1300.Microsporum canis was subjected to Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation,in order to achieve the integrated expression of the fusion gene LRP-EGFP in Microsporum canis under the regulation by the fungal universal promoter Ptrpc and terminator Ttrpc.Laser-scanning confocal microscopy was conducted to determine the cellular localization of the fusion protein.Results The expression vector pCAMBIA-LRP-EGFP was successfully constructed,and the fusion gene LRP-EGFP was expressed integratedly in Microsporum canis.Laser-scanning confocal microscopy showed that fluorescence signals of LRP-EGFP were concentrated on the cell membrane of Microsporum canis,giving a granular or cluster-like appearance.Conclusion The infusion gene LRP-EGFP can be successfully expressed in Microsporum canis,and PQ-LRP protein is located on the cell membrane of Microsporum canis.
