Abstract: In order to efficiently acquire the antibacterial peptide by prokaryotic expression,diptericin gene for the antibacterial peptide in housefly was reversely synthesized by RT-PCR method. Then,diptericin gene was cloned to pGEX-4T-1 expression vector and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 for protein expression. Sequencing result showed that housefly’s diptericin gene was 345 nucleotides in length. Recombinant pGEX-4T-1 was induced by IPTG,and the expression of diptericin fusion protein was detected by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Western blot. The result showed that diptericin fusion protein with GST-tag was about 37 kD,and the target protein was purified by GST purification column.

Key words: housefly, antibacterial peptide, diptericin, prokaryotic expression
