Abstract Objective: To express the His6CalR protein of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and characterize its DNAbinding activity,for further indepth study on the target genes and molecular regulatory mechanism. Methods: The entire coding region of calR in RIMD2210633 was amplified and then directionally cloned into the BamHⅠ and Hind Ⅲ sites of the vector pET28a. The recombinant plasmid pET28a was transformed into BL21λDE3 using heat shock. Overexpression of His6CalR in the LB media was induced by 1 mmol/L isopropylbDthiogalactoside (IPTG), and then purified under native conditions with a nickelresin column. The DNAbinding activity of His6CalR to the promoter DNA regions of exsC, exsD and VP1687 was analyzed using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Results: The His6CalR protein was expressed in supernatant at 37 ℃ and under 1 mmol/L IPTG induction. The purified His6CalR protein had the ability to bind to the upstream DNA promoter regions of exsC, exsD and VP1687. Conclusion: Active His6 CalR protein was successfully expressed and purificated, and can be used in the transcriptional regulatory mechanism of subsequent research in V. parahaemolyticus.
