YH-SOD

The overproduction of Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) is considered to be one of the pathogenesis of IBD. The use of SOD can significantly reduce the peroxidation reaction in the inflamed colon. Studies have shown that the decreased expression of Cu/Zn-SOD has been observed in IBD patients. SOD can not be directly treated, so carrier transport is needed. Therefore, we selected for heteroexpression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene from Lactobacillus casei Lc18.We used the Prcf promoter to express our protein and constructed a plasmid containing RcfB gene to initiate Prcf activity.

We placed the engineered bacteria in media with different pH and cultured them to the same concentration, and then tested their intracellular superoxide dismutase activity.We can verify the difference in the activity of the SOD enzyme expressed between the constitutive and acid-inducible expression systems through this experiment and verify the difference in the expression efficiency of the double-plasmid acid-inducible expression system itself under different pH environments.

1.The DNA level

We selected the DYHSG-RR double plasmid system for verification, transformed PUCYH and PET-RR into DH5α, and extracted the plasmid from the plasmid-transformed DYHSG-RR, as shown in Figure 1. The sample band is between 5000-7500bp, which is in line with the purpose. The band size is around 6700bp. The size of the PCR band is about 1000bp, and the restriction band is about 2300bp, both of which are in line with the current band size.
