title: [Expression of the gene coding for the D1-protein of barley photosystem II in Escherichia coli].
abstract: Previously characterized by us barley chloroplast psbA gene, which encodes one of the main Photosystem II components--D1 protein, has been inserted in a set of special plasmid vectors and its expression in vitro and in vivo has been investigated. Experiments on the in vitro expression in the rabbit reticulocyte lysate system revealed a major product with a molecular weight ca. 33.5 kD, which corresponds to the unprocessed D1 barley protein. A lower molecular weight protein (about 29 kD) was also observed. These results are in agreement with the existence of two potential translation start sites in the psbA gene in the same reading frame, the second one starting from Met37 residue. The results fully correlate with the earlier data on the in vitro expression of psbA genes of maize, pea, and tobacco. Experiments on the in vivo expression of psbA gene in E. coli cells with the above constructions also revealed proteins with m. w. about 33.5 and 29 kD. The yield of the target recombinant protein in some cases was about 25-30% of the total E. coli cellular protein. The correspondence of the bands to the desired products was proved by the immunoenzyme analysis with the use of polyclonal antibodies. The data obtained show for the first time the construction of E. coli strains producing recombinant D1 protein of cereals in a high level.
