Cloning and Expression of a cDNA Encoding CaMBP-10 and CaM Binding Activity Analysis

Calmodulin binding protein 10 (CaMBP 10) is a novel plant endogenous calmodulin binding protein with important physiological functions. The cDNA clone encoding for this protein was isolated from Chinese cabbage by using RT PCR. The full length of this cDNA is 496 bp, coding for 92 amino acid residues flanked by a 216 bp untranslated region at the 3′ end. The cDNA was inserted into an expression vector pET15b. The recombinant plasmid was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3)condonplus RIL. Using immunoblot and calmodulin binding assay, it was confirmed that this clone encoded CaMBP 10. CaMBP 10 showed very high amino acid and nucleotide sequence homology with plant nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTPs). Especially it also has eight conserved cysteine residues. In addition, there are striking resemblances between CaMBP 10 and plant nsLTP in their biochemical and physical properties. The results suggest that CaMBP 10 is a novel member of plant nsLTPs family,the Ca 2+ /CaM messenger system is involved in the function of lipid transfer protein.
