In order to study the halophyte salt-tolerance mechanism, we cloned the manganese (Mn) and Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) full-length cDNAs from Salicornia europaea by RACE method for the first time, sequence analysis indicated that the MnSOD gene (GenBank accession number: JQ061158) comprises an open reading frame of 699 bp, encoding 233-amino acid polypeptide with a predicted molecular mass of 25.7 kDa. Correspondingly, the Cu/ZnSOD gene (GenBank accession number: JQ061160) consists of an open reading frame of 684 bp which encodes a protein of 228 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 23.3 kDa. The prokaryotic expression vectors pET30-SeMSD, pET30-SeCSD and pET30-ThMSD were constructed, and the target proteins were expressed successfully in BL21 Escherichia coli. Through optimization of the inducing concentration of Isopropyl β-D-Thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), we tested the salt tolerance of these three superoxide dismutases under 6.5% and 7.5% NaCl, and the results demonstrate that the recombinants BL21 (pET30-SeMSD) and BL21 (pET30-ThMSD) show better tolerance to salinity stress in comparison with the control stain BL21 (pET30), but the recombinant BL21 (pET30-SeCSD) has not displayed increased salt tolerance.
