Abstract: In this study,encephalomyocarditis virus 2A protein was prokaryotic expressed and purified.E.coli was used to express foreign proteins,the EMCV 2A gene was inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a-sumo to obtain the recombinant plasmid pET28a-EMCV-2A and confirmed by PCR and sequencing.The plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3).After ultrasound fragmentation,the expression of 2A protein was mainly in the form of inclusion bodies.By optimizing the protein expression conditions,the soluble expression of the target protein could be achieved.The recombinant protein was purified by beads and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting.The results showed that the recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed.The molecular weight of the recombinant 2A protein was about 25 ku.The best condition was 16 ℃ with 1.0 mmol/L IPTG,about 50% of the proteins were soluble.The purified recombinant protein was double-stained by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting,and indicated that the purified protein was the recombinant protein.The study provided the basic theoretical basis for elucidating the molecular pathogenesis of EMCV and preparation of gene vaccines and antiviral drugs.

Key words: encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV); 2A protein; prokaryotic expression; purification
