Abstract:
Abscisic acid insensitive 5 (ABI5) is a basic leucine zipper transcription factor regulating ABA-mediated seed germination, and TaABI5 is closely related to the pre-harvest sprouting in wheat. Studies have shown that TaABI5-D3, one of multiple copies of TaABI5 gene, encodes the intact TaABI5 protein. In this study, we constructed the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a-TaABI5-D3 for expression of TaABI5-D3 in Escherichia coli and obtained the purified recombinant protein His-TaABI5-D3. This protein existed in the form of inclusion bodies, with the best expression induced by incubation with 0.6 mmol/L IPTG at 16 ℃, 150 r/min overnight (for 12 h). Subsequently, the purified His-TaABI5-D3 was injected into Balb/C mice for the preparation of polyclonal antibodies. Western blotting analysis indicated that the polyclonal antibody had relatively high specificity, laying foundations for clarification of the function of TaABI5 protein in wheat.
