Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this study is to clone the full-length cDNA of TCTP from Spodoptera litura cells, as well as to analyze its sequence.【Method】The full-length cDNA of TCTP was obtained by RACE-PCR. A phylogenetic tree of TCTP protein in different species was constructed. TCTP was cloned in pET-32a (+) and was expressed as fusion protein in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells.【Result】The full-length cDNA of SLTCTP (GenBank accession number: HQ896486.1) was 829 bp with an open reading frame of 519 and encodes 172 amino acids. According to Protparam on-line tools, the deduced protein was predicted to have a computed molecular mass of 19.67 kD. TCTP cloned in pET-32a (+) was expressed as fusion protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells. In order to obtain much target protein of TCTP, optimal culture conditions of pET-32a (+)-TCTP were studied. Induced by 1mmol•L-1 IPTG for 4 h was the best optimized condition for recombinant protein expression. TCTP gene belonged to the TCTP protein family and had a high similarity with other species.【Conclusion】This study has provided a basis of method for further research on the function of SLTCTP and pest control.
