title: [Construction of fusion recombinant plasmid coding for RGD peptide and urokinase B chain, its expression in Escherichia coli and preliminary characterization of its biological activity].
abstract: A synthetic RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptide-coding sequence was fused with urokinase B-chain cDNA and then cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pBV220. The fused gene was expressed in E. coli DH5 alpha under the control of PRPL promoter by 42 degrees C induction. The expression level of the fusion protein was over 9.2% of the total bacterial proteins as a or of inactive inclusion body. The purified fusion protein was obtained with similar antigenicity as urokinase shown by Western blotting. Its in vitro fibrinolysis and anti-platelet aggregation activity was also evaluated by bioassay.
