WELQ + nisA
Lactococcus lactis nisA sequence with WELQ site. The WELQ protease cleavage site allows for cleavage of an N-terminal epitope tag that may be added.
Usage and Biology
Figure 1. Western blot of NisA. The third lane contains whole cell lysate of E. coli BL21(DE3) cells containing plasmid pRSFDuet-1-nisA incubated with 0.4 mM IPTG at 37°C for 4 hours. The red asterisk indicates the NisA protein band.
To confirm the presence of the nisA protein, a Western blot was conducted using a whole cell extract collected directly from E. coli BL21(DE3) containing pRSFDuet1-nisA. The positive control used was a Posi-Tag, which has several proteins with different epitopes, including one for His6. Our construct was made with a His6 tag. With respect to the nisA construct, a band was observed at a molecular weight of 12 kDA, as indicated by the red asterisk in Figure 1. While this is not the predicted molecular weight of 5.84 kDA, this is consistent with previous data from Chen and Kuipers (2021).
