Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular biology, and particularly relates to paralichthys olivaceus Dmrt1 recombinant protein and application. The paralichthys olivaceus Dmrt1 recombinant protein is obtained for the first time by utilizing an in-vitro recombinant expression technology, a preparation method of the recombinant protein is provided, and the paralichthys olivaceus gonad tissue is incubated by utilizing the recombinant protein, so that the paralichthys olivaceus Dmrt1 recombinant protein has biological activity. The recombinant Dmrt1 protein is injected into an abdominal cavity of a female adult paralichthys olivaceus, so that cell nucleus chromatin of an oocyte in an ovarian tissue of the female adult paralichthys olivaceus is condensed. Further injecting the vaccine into the abdominal cavity of the fry with undifferentiated gonad to respectively cause the obvious decrease and increase (plt) of the estrogen and androgen levels in the juvenile fish body; 0.05), and the male rate is increased from 0% to 82%. The recombinant protein can be used for sex control of fishes such as paralichthys olivaceus, and a new method and way can be provided for sex control and unisexual production in fish culture.

[0040] The recombinant plasmid Blunt E2-Dmrt1 was transformed into E. coli Transetta (DE3), spread on LB solid medium containing 0.1% kanamycin, and cultured overnight at 37°C by inversion. Then a single colony was picked for bacterial liquid PCR detection and identification. The PCR product was subjected to 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the size of the target band of the amplified product was observed under a gel imager, and the colony that was consistent with the expected fragment size was a recombinant strain.

The LB liquid medium of kanamycin was placed at 37°C and cultured at 200 r/min for 12-16 h as the first-class seeds; the first-class seeds were inoculated into the medium containing 0.1% kanamycin at 1% inoculum. IPTG (0.5 mM) was added, and the cells were incubated at 37° C. and 200 rpm for 16 h, and the bacterial liquid was collected.
