Abstract: The purpose of this study is to clone glutathione reductase(GR)gene from Vibrio harveyi, construct the prokaryotic expression vector of it, and obtain the corresponding expressed protein. Digested GR and pET-32a(+)were cut with the double enzymes BamH I and Xho I, then ligated with T4 ligase to construct the recombinant plasmid pET-GR. Then pET-GR was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), which was induced by IPTG, and their expressions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. An approximately 68.9 kD exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The optimal expression condition for the recombinant plasmid pET-GR was that the recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3)was induced for 4 h at 28℃ by 0. 7 mmol/L of IPTG and it expressed in E. coli as the inclusion bodies. The conclusion of the study is that GR gene from V. harveyi can efficiently express in E. coli.
