Abstract: The study was aimed to obtain recombinant Sus scrofa sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) in prokaryotic system and preliminarily evaluate its antigenicity and specificity. The fragment which included the SIRT3 complete coding sequence was obtained by RT-PCR and cloned into pET-28a(+) vector, then the recombinant vector was transformed into E.coil Rosetta (DE3) to induce, express and purify, the antigenicity of recombinant SIRT3 was identified by Western blotting. The double enzyme analysis and sequencing proved that recombinant plasmid pET28a-SIRT3 was constructed correctly. The expressed recombinant protein, with a relative molecular mass of about 39 ku, was recognized by positive serum antibody. The result showed that the SIRT3 was successfully expressed in E.coil, which would provide a useful tool for designing an in-depth investigation of the role of SIRT3.
