The objective of this study was to clone DR_2566 and to investigate its function preliminary using bio-informatics. Full-length open reading frame (ORF) of DR_2566 gene was amplified by PCR, and pGEM-T was chosen as a vector for gene TA cloning. After ligation, restriction endonuclease analysis and sequencing were carried out for identification. On the other hand, bio-informatics was used to analyze the localization of the target gene on the chromosome, speculate protein sequence, domain and function. DR_2566 gene was cloned successfully. Bio-informatic analysis results show that the target gene, with 507 bp full-length, encodes a protein with 168 amino acids and the theoretical molecular mass of this protein is about 19.136 KDa. Tertiary structure predicting indicates DR_2566 protein is a kind of endonuclease that can repair short DNA damage fragment. Full-length ORF of DR_2566 in D. Radiodurans was cloned successfully. Bio-informatic analysis indicated the DR_2566 protein might be involved in mismatch repairing function in D. Radiodurans.Cited
