abstract

materials and methods: in order to achieve this, recombinant plasmid harboring antisense sequences targeting both of pta and acka was assembled, after transfecting to the cells, its effects on the cell growth and acetate accumulation in the minimal media was assessed and compared with the control, the plasmid without antisense cassette, in presence and absence of iptg in escherichia coli bl21 (de3). results: it was observed that the mentioned strategy partially affect the growth and amount of excreted acetate in comparison with the control. in addition it was found that high down-regulation of the acetate production pathway reduces the growth rate of e. coli bl21 (de3). background: one of the most important problems in production of recombinant protein is to attain over-expression of the target gene and high cell density. in such conditions, the secondary metabolites of bacteria become toxic for the medium and cause cells to die. one of these aforementioned metabolites is acetate, which enormously accumulated in the medium, so that both cell and protein yields are affected. conclusions: the study principally proved the importance of this strategy in acetate excretion control. objectives: to overcome this problem, several strategies applied. in this research we used antisense rna strategy, where the transcription of phosphotransacetylase (pta) and acetate kinase (ack), two acetate pathway key enzymes, could be controlled, which led to reduced acetate production.

Down Regulation of ackA-pta Pathway in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3): A Step Toward Optimized Recombinant Protein Expression System

BACKGROUND One of the most important problems in production of recombinant protein is to attain over-expression of the target gene and high cell density. In such conditions, the secondary metabolites of bacteria become toxic for the medium and cause cells to die. One of these aforementioned metabolites is acetate, which enormously accumulated in the medium, so that both cell and protein yields ...

The toxicity of recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli: a comparison of overexpression in BL21(DE3), C41(DE3), and C43(DE3).

Two mutant strains of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), called C41(DE3) and C43(DE3) and originally described by Miroux and Walker, are frequently used to overcome the toxicity associated with overexpressing recombinant proteins using the bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase expression system. Even when the toxicity of the plasmids is so high that it prevents transformation in the strain BL21(DE3), the to...

Expression of Recombinant pET22b-LysK-Cysteine/Histidine-Dependent Amidohydrolase/Peptidase Bacteriophage Therapeutic Protein in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3)

OBJECTIVES Bacteriophage-encoded endolysins are a group of enzymes that act by digesting the peptidoglycan of bacterial cell walls. LysK has been reported to lyse live staphylococcal cultures. LysK proteins containing only the cysteine/histidine-dependent amidohydrolase/peptidase (CHAP) domain has the capability to show lytic activity against live clinical staphylococcal isolates, including met...

Genomic and transcriptomic landscape of Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)

Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) has long served as a model organism for scientific research, as well as a workhorse for biotechnology. Here we present the most current genome annotation of E. coli BL21(DE3) based on the transcriptome structure of the strain that was determined for the first time. The genome was annotated using multiple automated pipelines and compared to the current genome annotatio...
