Abstract: 【Objective】 This study was aimed to clone,express and bioinformatics analyze the CDS region of chicken embryonic lethal abnormal vision like 1 (ELAVL1) gene.【Method】 The CDS region of ELAVL1 gene was amplified by PCR using the cDNA of chicken embryonic fibroblast (CEF) as a template to construct pMD19-T-ELAVL1 clone plasmid.The pET-32a-ELAVL1 prokaryotic recombinant expression plasmid was constructed using pMD19-T-ELAVL1 template.IPTG was used to induce the expression of the recombinant strain,and the recombinant protein expression were detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Bioinformatics analysis of ELAVL1 protein was performed by online software. 【Results】 The length of ELAVL1 gene CDS in chicken was 981 bp and encoded 326 amino acids, which had the closet relationship with duck and the furthest relationship with zebrafish.SDS-PAGE and Western blotting results showed that the recombinant protein was mainly expressed in soluble form,and its molecular weight was about 55 ku.Bioinformatics analysis showed that the molecular weight of ELAVL1 protein was 36.10 ku,which was a non-fat soluble,weakly alkaline hydrophilic stable protein.The ELAVL1 protein contained 1 N-glycosylation site,3 O-glycosylation sites,32 phosphorylation sites and 10 linear B cell epitope binding site.Subcellular localization revealed that the protein was located in the nucleus.The secondary and tertiary structures were mainly composed of alpha helix and random coil. The ELAVL1 protein contained 3 RNA recognition motif (RRM), which were predicted to interact with various RNA-binding proteins and protein kinases.【Conclusion】 This study successfully cloned the CDS region of ELAVL1 gene in chicken,and ELAVL1 was a non-fat soluble and weakly basic hydrophilic stable protein.After induced expression,soluble expression of ELAVL1 recombinant protein was successfully obtained.The results provided scientific basis for further function of chicken ELAVL1 gene.
