To amplify human era (Hera) gene, then express it in E.coli. Methods: Human era gene, after amplified by PCR and identified by sequencing, was inserted into the expression vector pGEX4T3 in which exogenous gene was controlled by Ptac promoter. The recombinant plasmid pGEX-Hera was transformed into DH5 ( and induced with IPTG chemically. Results: The human era gene was amplified and the sequence was correct. When the bacteria with pGEX-Hera was induced, an anticipated 65 000 protein band appeared on SDS-PAGE gel and amounted to 23% of total bacterial protein. Conclusion: The human era gene has been successfully amplified and efficiently expressed in E.coli.
