Cloning and expression of N terminal human 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase code gene

AIM: To clone human N terminal human 5, 10 methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase code gene, construct the recombinant vector and express its product. METHODS: Human MTHFR(N) code gene was amplified by RT PCR from fetal liver tissue and cloned into vector pGEM T easy, which was sequenced and subcloned into prokaryotic expressive vector pGEX 4T 2. After a 4 hour induction by IPTG, the recombinant Mr 66ku fusion protein GST MTHFR(N) was expressed and confirmed by SDS PAGE. RESULTS: Human MTHFR(N) gene was cloned. Recombinant expression plasmid pGEX 4T 2/ MTHFR(N) was constructed. The expressed fusion protein was about 31% of the total bacterial protein by gel thin layer chromatography scanning. CONCLUSION: The human MTHFR(N) gene and prokaryotic expression products have been obtained, which is of great importance for further study on the function of human MTHFR.
