Abstract: It was to prepare FtsZ protein using techniques of modern molecular biology. The ftsZ gene was amplified from Xanthomonas oryzae by nested PCR, and recombinant plasmid pET-22b-ftsZ was constructed and transformed to E.coli BL21. The clony fragment was identificatified by PCR screening, Nde I/Xho I digestion and DNA sequencing, the positive clones were induced by IPTG for expression;the fusion protein was purified through Ni-NTA Resin, and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Results showed that the recombinant plasmid pET-22b-ftsZ was constructed successfully, the FtsZ-6×His fusion protein was expressed in recombined E. coli BL21 induced by IPTG, and purified through Ni-NTA Resin by electrophoretic purity.
