Abstract: | AIM: To construct a eukaryotic expression plasmid for enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and ZNF580 fusion protein, and study its subcellular localization in the transfected MGC803 cells. METHODS: The primers were designed according to the cDNA encoding sequence of ZNF580 full-length open reading frame (1-172aa), ZNF580 amino terminus (1-93aa) and ZNF580 carboxyl terminus (94-172aa). The three cDNA segments of PCR were cloned into pGEM-T vector. Then they were subcloned respectively into plasmid pEGFP-C1 (enhanced green fluorescent protein). The subcellular localization of the fusion protein in MGC803 cells transfected with the vector was monitored by autofluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: Restricted enzymes analysis and DNA sequencing showed that the sequences of the pEGFP-ZNF580 (1-172), pEGFP-ZNF580 (1-93) and pEGFP-ZNF580 (94-172) transgenic plasmid were correct. The fusion proteins of EGFP-ZNF580 (1-172) and pEGFP-ZNF580 (94-172) were localized in the nuclei. CONCLUSION: The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-ZNF580 has been successfully constructed. The nuclear localization signal is within amino acid residues 94 and 172 of ZNF580 carboxyl terminus (C2H2 zinc finger domain). |
