A self-inducible heterologous protein expression system in Escherichia coli
2016
AbstractEscherichia coli is an important experimental, medical and industrial cell factory for recombinant protein production. The inducible lac promoter is one of the most commonly used promoters for heterologous protein expression in E. coli. Isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) is currently the most efficient molecular inducer for regulating this promoter’s transcriptional activity. However, limitations have been observed in large-scale and microplate production, including toxicity, cost and culture monitoring. Here, we report the novel SILEX (Self-InducibLe Expression) system, which is a convenient, cost-effective alternative that does not require cell density monitoring or IPTG inducti…
Immunological Methods for Analysis of Recombinant Proteins
1998
We want to introduce researchers to techniques that help to solve some problems in the work of the molecular biologist. After transformation of recombinant DNA in E. coli cells many clones are usually produced, and the same situation appears if recombinant DNA expression libraries are available. Furthermore, if appropriate monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies are available, the method of immunoscreening of colonies for direct immunological detection of translational products of cloned genes can be used. Selected clones could be chosen for further studies such as determination of their primary structure by DNA sequencing and for characterization of an appropriate expressed protein.
