Abstract: In order to study the activity and physiological function of the SOD protein encoded by the sodA gene of Haemophilus parasuis, the sodA gene was amplified from HPS by the specific primers and expressed in Escherichia coli prokaryotic expression system. The expressed protein was purified by the ammonium sulfate fractionation, Sephacryl S-300 gel filtration chromatography and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow anion exchange chromatography. The activity of the purified protein was determined by the pyrogallol autoxidation method and the physicochemical properties were studied by HPSEC and AAS. The results showed that the recombinant HPS SOD protein was a soluble protein with a size of 26 ku. The purity of the target protein was 95% after purification, and its activity was measured to be 215.9 U/mg by pyrogallol autoxidation assay. HPSEC analysis indicated that the recombinant HPS SOD was a multimer, and the manganese content in the purified HPS SOD was detected to be 0.71 mg/L by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.

Key words: Haemophilus parasuis, superoxide dismutase, pyrogallol autoxidation method
