Abstract

Apoptin is intensively studied for its potential as a therapeutic protein for cancer treatment since it is capable of inducing apoptosis specifically in cancer cells. Production of apoptin gene on a larger scale is important for the further application, and currently being studied by researchers around the world. In this research, chicken anemia virus apoptin optimized genetically for expression in Escherichia coli and modified using (His)6 tag, (Arg)8 tag, and HlyA tag intended for purification needs, penetration enhancement, and secretion from bacterial host to the growth media. Removal of (His)6 tag and HlyA tag were designed using a specific thrombin proteolytic site, while (Arg)8 tag was preserved. The gene designed, optimized and constructed in vector pET9a, then analyzed using Agarose Electrophoresis and Sequencing. The DNA sequencing result shows that the designed gene has successfully constructed.
