Regulatable Gene Expression In Bacterial Cells Using A 2-methylcitrate-resposive Prpbcde Promoter
- 技術優勢
- The combined gains in inducibility and yield present many opportunities for the propionate inducible expression system in laboratory and industrial applications.
- 技術應用
- Expression of recombinant protein in E. coli is highly-regulated by the inducer.? High level of expression can be achieved in the presence of inducer (maximal induction 1500 fold).? The inducer propionate is non-toxic and inexpensive; therefore allowing for large-scale industrial production. In contrast, some commonly used inducers such as IPTG are expensive and toxic to cells. ? Uniform expression: cells are uniformly induced to express recombinant protein in the presence of inducer whereas in many other inducible systems, the induction level varies among individual cells in the whole population. ? The basal level of expression in the absence of inducer is negligible.

- *Abstract
-
Inducible expression systems are essential molecular tools for production of recombinant proteins. Although there are currently a number of protein expression systems available, there is a need to develop new systems that allow for tighter regulation and higher yield. This invention provides compositions and methods for an inducible protein expression system in E. coli based on a novel propionate inducible promoter.
