Abstract: In this study, a prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-MBD3 for the wheat MBD (Methyl-binding domain protein) gene MBD3 was constructed. Transform it to E. coli. BL21 (DE3), the fusion protein GST-MBD3 with molecular weight of 49.6 kDа was effectively expressed under 1mM IPTG concentrations at 37°C, which provides a foundation for further purification and functional study of the MBD3 protein.
