Abstract: 【Objective】 The endosperm-specific transcription factor gene WPBF was cloned from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), an optimized prokaryotic expression system was established, and the specific binding between WPBF and Prolamin-Like boxes in upstream of HMW-GS genes was verified. These will be useful for further elucidating the regulation mechanism of HMW-GS. 【Method】 The coding region of WPBF was obtained by RT-PCR and inserted into the vector pET-21a-MBP. The recombinant vector was expressed in E. coli strains T7 Express and Origami B(DE3), the recombinant protein was purified by amylose and Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and its DNA binding activity was analyzed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).【Result】 Recombinant WPBF existed mainly in soluble form when it was expressed at 33℃ in Origami B (DE3) strain, and the fusion protein accounted for 48% of the total cell protein. The purified recombinant protein could bind specifically to two kinds of Prolamin-Like boxes，however，the binding strength between WPBF and Prolamin-Like box “TGCAAAG” was higher than WPBF and Prolamin-Like box“TGCAAG”. 【Conclusion】 An optimized prokaryotic expression system was established and the functional recombinant protein was obtained. The recombinant WPBF can bind specifically to two kinds of Prolamin-Like boxes in upstream of HMW-GS, and there is somewhat different in binding strength.
