Abstract:

In this study, the tcdA coding gene of Photorhabdus luminescens was inserted in pET32a (+) plasmid with extra His-tag sequence. Photorhabdus luminescens strain was isolated from Western Ghats of Karnataka, which is symbiotically associated with entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis spp. The DNA sequence of cloned toxin gene (7551 bp) has an open reading frame encoding 2506 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 283kDa. The integrity of the constructed plasmid was confirmed using restriction digestion and PCR. The tcdA gene was expressed after induction with IPTG in Escherichia coli BL21. Recombinant tcdA was purified by Ni- NTA Affinity Chromatography.


Keywords: tcdA, Photorhabdus luminescens, Cloning and expression.
