Abstract: In order to obtain high-purity and bioactive urease B subunit protein(UreB), the fragments of ureB amplified by PCR was inserted into expression vector pET28a, and the recombinant plasmid pET28a-ureB was constructed successfully. The identified plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli, which was induced to express by IPTG. The expressed protein UreB was purified by Q Sepharose High Performance anion exchange chromatography and desalted by G-25 gel filtration chromatography, then analyzed by SDS-PAGE and double immunodiffusion. The results indicated that the molecular weight of the protein was about 64 kD and its purity was 98. 5% after desalting, which was in accord with the prediction. Double immunodiffusion showed that protein UreB possessed a favorable bioactivity and specificity. The finalized purification process achieved the goal of 1-step purification may obtain high-purity and bioactive protein, and it was simpler than the existing purification process as well as effective.
