The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a
fatty acid transporter FATP
transmembrane domain. The method comprises the following steps: fusing a
gene for coding an FATP
transmembrane domain with a TrpLE tag sequence, and performing high-efficiency expression in
escherichia coli to form an inclusion body. Thirdly, primarily purifying the
fusion protein by using
nickel column
affinity chromatography, and specifically releasing a target
transmembrane peptide fragment through
cyanogen bromide chemical cleavage; and finally, carrying out fine purification by adopting one-step reversed-phase high-performance liquid
chromatography to obtain a milligram-grade high-purity
peptide fragment. The purified
peptide fragment can be successfully reconstructed in a plurality of membrane
simulation systems such as Fos-
choline-14 micelles or DMPC / DHPC (Dimethyl
Polycarbonate / Dimethyl Hexaphthyl
Polycarbonate) lipid saucers and the like. According to the method, high-level expression of the FATP
transmembrane domain in
escherichia coli is achieved, the purification process is simple, convenient and efficient, the final product is high in purity, the yield can reach the milligram level, and the method is suitable for
stable isotope labeling and meets the requirements of
fine structure research such as
nuclear magnetic resonance.
