Abstract: Cytokinin plays an important role in plant development and resistance to environmental stresses. Cytokinin signal transduction involves a multistep two-component system composed of a sensor histidine kinase (HK), a histidine phosphotransfer protein (HP), and a response regulator (RR). In order to obtain high purity OsAHP2 protein, the full-length cDNA of OsAHP2 was amplified from rice, and two prokaryotic expression vectors pET-32a-OsAHP2 and pGEX-4T-1-OsAHP2 were constructed. After sequencing, they were transformed into E. coli expression strains Rosseta and XA90,respectively. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that with 0.5 mmol/L IPTG induction for 1, 3, 5 h, the recombinant strain pET-32a-OsAHP2 expressed a 35 ku fusion protein and the recombinant strain pGEX-4T-1-OsAHP2 expressed a 42 ku fusion protein. The pET-32a-OsAHP2 expressed much more fusion protein than the pGEX-4T-1-OsAHP2 and was used for subsequent experiment. The pET-32a-OsAHP2 expressed fusion protein in the form of soluble protein by 0.5 mmol/L IPTG induction for 3 h. After purification by HIS-Select Nickel Affinity Gel, a large amount of OsAHP2 fusion protein with good purity was obtained.
