Abstract: In order to construct the prokaryotic expression plasmid of Toxoplasma gondii SRS29C gene, the signal peptide of SRS29C gene was predicted by using SignalP-5.0 software, the sequence of the signal peptide of SRS29C gene was removed, the truncated gene of SRS29C was amplified and cloned, and then the prokaryotic expression plasmids were constructed. The results showed that the first 51 amino acids of SRS29C were the signal peptide region, so by cutting off the signal peptide, the 966 bp SRS29C truncated gene fragment (SRS29Ccut) was successfully obtained, and the recombinant plasmids pET-28a-SRS29Ccut and pET-32a-SRS29Ccut were successfully constructed. This study may lay a foundation for further study on the biological function and immune characteristics of the protein of Toxoplasma gondii SRS29C.
