Abstract:MxFIT is a FER-like iron deficiency induced transcriptional factor in Malus xiaojinensis. Here, we described the heterologous expression of MxFIT in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) host cells. The E. coli harboring the recombinant construct pET-MxFIT was efficiently induced to express the MxFIT protein at a high level and the optimal profile for MxFIT expression was investigated. By inoculating a New Zealand rabbit with purified MxFIT-His fusion protein, a high specific anti-MxFIT antiserum was achieved. Western b… Show more
