Abstract:A novel short-chain neurotoxin cDNA was cloned from Chinese cobra venom by RT-PCR. The cDNA was cloned into the pGEM-T vector and sequenced. It has a ORF encoding 83 amino acid residues and a 21 residues signal peptide. This neurotoxin gene of Chinese cobra was highly homogeneous to the short-chain neurotoxin gene of similar species reported in GenBank. Among the genes of neurotoxin from different species, the signal peptides were very conserved. The cDNA encoding the mature peptide was amplified by PCR and was cloned into pT7ZZ vector. The recombinant vector was transformed into E. coliBL2(DE3). The E. coli highly expressed the fusion protein whose mollecular weight is 23kDa, after induced by 0.1 mol/L IPTG. The expressed protein was accumulated up to more than 25% of total bacterial protein.
