Zirex: a novel zinc-regulated expression system for Lactococcus lactis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here, we report a new zinc-inducible expression system for Lactococcus lactis, called Zirex, consisting of the pneumococcal repressor SczA and PczcD. PczcD tightly regulates the expression of green fluorescent protein in L. lactis. We show the applicability of Zirex together with the nisin-controlled expression system, enabling simultaneous but independent regulation of different genes.

Cloning of EprA1 gene of Aeromonas hydrophila in Lactococcus lactis
Bacterial-based systems as live vectors for the delivery of heterologous antigens offer a number of advantages as vaccination strategies. Developments in genetic engineering have given Gram-positive lacticacid bacteria (LAB) the advantage of being used as a host expression system for antigen delivery to inducethe immune response. A fragment containing the full length of the “eprA1” ...
متن کاملInduction of Immunogenic Response in BALB/c Mice by Live and Killed Form of Recombinant Lactococcus lactis Displaying EG95 of Echinococcus granulosus Immunogenic Response in BALB/c Mice
Background: CE is a zoonotic parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus worldwide and is associated with economic losses among livestock animals. EG95 is an immunogenic antigen from the E. granulosus. Lactococcus lactis has been prested as a safe vehicle for antigen delivery. The goal of this study was to design a novel L. lactis strain displaying EG95 as a vaccine delivery system. M...
متن کاملGlycine betaine transport in Lactococcus lactis is osmotically regulated at the level of expression and translocation activity.
Microorganisms react upon hyperosmotic stress by accumulating compatible solutes. Here we report that Lactococcus lactis uses a transport system for glycine betaine that, contrary to earlier observations (D. Molenaar et al., J. Bacteriol. 175:5438-5444, 1993), is osmotically regulated at the levels of both expression and transport activity.
متن کاملExpression of Brucella abortus Omp25 Protein in Lactococcus lactis Probiotic Bacteria
Background and purpose: The sequence of Omp25 is conserved in all Brucella species. The high antigenicity of the product of this gene stimulates the host’s immune system. Using engineered probiotic bacteria is an appropriate method for vaccine transport. The aim of this study was to express the Omp25 of the Brucella abortus pathogenic bacterium in Lactococcus lactis probiotic bacterium. Materi...

BACKGROUND Staphylococcal (or micrococcal) nuclease or thermonuclease (SNase or Nuc) is a naturally-secreted nucleic acid degrading enzyme that participates in Staphylococcus aureus spread in the infected host. Purified Nuc protein can be used as an exogenous reagent to clear cellular extracts and improve protein purification. Here, a recombinant form of Nuc was produced and secreted in a Gram-...
