title: [Expression and activity analysis of the human glutathione-S-transferase in Lactococcus lactis].
abstract: The glutathione-S-transferase A1 cDNA was amplified from human liver total RNAs by RT-PCR and was cloned into a Escherichia coli expression vector pET23b, then the recombinant plasmid pET23bhgst was introduced into E. coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG, the high-level expression of hGSTA1 appeared in the E. coli cells. The cDNA encoding hGSTA1 was subcloned into pMG36e, a lactococcal expression vector, and introduced into Lactococcus lactis MG1363 by electroporation. In the positive transformants, the hGSTA1 was expressed as a fusion protein which was verified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. The hGSTA1 from both E. coli and L. lactis was purified by affinity chromatography on glutathione-agarose and all showed enzymatic activity. The potential application of the recombinant Lactococcus lactis in functional food was also discussed.
