A pea actin isoform PEAc1 with green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion to its C-terminus and His-tag to its N-terminus, was expressed in prokaryotic cells in soluble form, and highly purified with Ni-Chelating Sepharose Fast Flow column. The purified fusion protein (PEAc1-GFP) efficiently inhibited DNase I activities before polymerization, and activated the myosin Mg-ATPase activities after polymerization. The PEAc1-GFP also polymerized into green fluorescent filamentous structures with a critical concentration of 0.75 uM. These filamentous structures were labeled by TRITC-phalloidin, a specific agent for staining actin microfilaments, and identified as having 9 nm diameters by negative staining. These results indicated that PEAc1 preserved the essential characteristics of actin even with His-tag and GFP fusion, suggesting a promising potential to use GFP fusion protein in obtaining soluble plant actin isoform to analyze its physical and biochemical properties in vitro. The PEAc1-GFP was also expressed in tobacco BY2 cells, which offers a new pathway for further studying its distribution and function in vivo.
