Abstract:The cDNA of dUTP pyrophosphatase (dUTPase) in human nucleus was amplified by PCR from the cDNA library of the AD patient's brain, then cloned into the fusion expression vector of GST——pGEX 4T 1, and highly expressed in E.coli BL21. The fusion prottein GST dUTPase was purified by affinity chromatography, thrombin digestion and gel filtration on Sephacryl S100, and dUTPase was finally obtained. By detecting the quantity of PP i released from the hydrolyzation of dUTP, the activity of the recombined protein dUTPase and the fusion protein GST dUTPase was quantified. Both of them were found to have the activity of hydrolyzing dUTP, just like the normal enzyme. However, the activity of the recombined protein dUTPase was about 7~8 times higher than that of the fusion protein. Meanwhile, the effect of Mg 2+ and EDTA on the activity of enzyme was measured.
