Identification and Validation of Novel Chromosomal Integration and Expression Loci in Escherichia coli Flagellar Region 1

چکیده
Escherichia coli is used as a chassis for a number of Synthetic Biology applications. The lack of suitable chromosomal integration and expression loci is among the main hurdles of the E. coli engineering efforts. We identified and validated chromosomal integration and expression target sites within E. coli K12 MG1655 flagellar region 1. We analyzed five open reading frames of the flagellar region 1, flgA, flgF, flgG, flgI, and flgJ, that are well-conserved among commonly-used E. coli strains, such as MG1655, W3110, DH10B and BL21-DE3. The efficiency of the integration into the E. coli chromosome and the expression of the introduced genetic circuit at the investigated loci varied significantly. The integrations did not have a negative impact on growth; however, they completely abolished motility. From the investigated E. coli K12 MG1655 flagellar region 1, flgA and flgG are the most suitable chromosomal integration and expression loci.

In this study 130 bulk tank milk samples which were delivered to the Pegah Pasturisation Factory inMashhad were collected randomly during the summer months. Samples were firstly enriched in modifiedtrypticase soy broth containing novobiocin, followed by plating onto sorbitol MacConkey agar supplementedwith cefixime and potassium tellurite for isolation of Escherichia coli O157:H7. Consequently ...

متن کاملIdentification of a Shigella flexneri criR gene increasing ipa genes expression: a novel member of response regulators of the two-component signal transduction family.
A genetic locus named cri, which enhanced the expression of ipa genes, was cloned into Escherichia coli K-12 from Shigella flexneri 1b chromosomal DNA. Subcloning and Tn5-Tc1 transposon experiments showed that cri locus was located on a 2.6-kb HindIII fragment. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the region revealed at least three open reading frames (ORF), one of which, named criR, encoded a prote...
