Construction of Eukaryotic Expression Recombinant Plasmid and Sequence Analysis of p41-3 Gene of Plasmodium Falciparum Isolate FCC1/HN

Objective] To construct a eukaryotic expression plasmid containing a gene encoding a 41-3 kilodalton blood stage antigen (p41-3) of Plasmodiu falciparum isolate FCC1/HN, and to determine the sequence of p41-3 gene and analyze the homology of the sequences of 341-3 gene of different P. falciparum isolates. Methods] Two pairs of primers were designed according to the known sequence of p41-3 gene. Using PCR technique, the p41-3 gene was obtained by amplification from genomic DNA of isolate FCC1/HN. By cloning target gene into a eukaryotic expression vector, pcDNA3, a recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-p41-3 was con structed and trarsferred into E. coli DH5α. The positive clones were screened and identified by agarose gel electrophoresis, endonu clease digestion and PCR technique. The correct recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-p41-3 was used as template, and the nucleotide se quence of p41-3 gene was determined by the dideoxy chain termination method. Using softwares to analyze the structure and sequence homology of p41-3 gene between isolate FCC1/HN and FCBR. Results] The p41-3 gene was specifically amplified from genomic DNA of Plasmodiumm falciparum isolate FCC1/HN, and the correct recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-p41-3 was screened and identi fied. The result of sequence determination showed that the p41-3 gene of isolate FCC1/HN was 2 137 base pairs in full length, encod ing 375 amino acids. Isolate FCC1/HN and isolate FCBR exhibited 98.98 % homology in the nucleiotide sequences and 99.73 % ho mology in the encoded anino acids of p41-3 gene. Conclusion] The eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3-p41-3 is successfully con structed and nucleotide sequence of p41-3 gene of isolate FCC1/HN is determined. The p41-3 genes of isolate FCC1/HN and isolate FCBR share quite high homology.
