Abstract: Objective To detect the expression of amelogenin(Am) gene in Escherichia coli (E.coli). Methods The cDNA fragmain of Am gene was obtained with EcoRI and Xhol I from the plasmid PUC18/Am. The fragment was inserted into prokaryotic gene fusion vector PGEX-4T-2 and an expression plasmid PGEX-4T-2/Am was constructed. PGEX-4T-2/Am was induced by IPTG for 4h. Results 15% SDS-PAGE revealed a new forein protein band near 27 000.Conclusion The constructed plasmid expresses Am gene in E.coli.
