GLN_H gene source

E.Coli - E. coli bacteria were discovered in the human colon in 1885 by German bacteriologist Theodor Escherich. E. coli is often referred to as the best or most-studied free-living organism. More than 700 serotypes of E. coli have been identified. The E. coli that are responsible for the numerous reports of contaminated foods and beverages are those that produce Shiga toxin, so called because the toxin is virtually identical to that produced by Shigella dysenteria type 1 The bacterium can be grown and cultured easily and inexpensively in a laboratory setting, and has been intensively investigated for over 60 years. E. coli is the most widely studied prokaryotic model organism, and an important species in the fields of biotechnology and microbiology, where it has served as the host organism for the majority of work with recombinant DNA E. coli is a Gram-negative (bacteria which do not retain crystal violet dye), facultative anaerobic (that makes ATP by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present, but is capable of switching to fermentation or anaerobic respiration if oxygen is absent) and nonsporulating bacteria.

The Gln-H protein after adding the linkers. The linkers added to the ends of the C terminal and N terminal. This mutation cycle allows one of the new Terminal ends of the protein to unite (when on each end is half of another reporter gene), in actual fact the two parts of the gene come together and form comfortable conditions for creating color. The change in color will occur only when the connection is through gluten. The mutation protein will act as follows: Without gluten - the protein will be in the open position and therefore the half enzyme will remain inactive and there will not be a color reaction. The presence of gluten - the protein closes, following; the half enzyme will close and become an active enzyme with the result of a color reaction.
