Applications of BBa_K875004

The construct was tested in E.coli W3110 strain which was previously trasformed with p-REP 4 encoding for the Lac Repressor. The recombinant bacterial culture was induced at O.D.= 0.4 (2x108 bacterial cells/ml) with IPTG (1mM) at 37°C in shaker. 2ml of bacterial culture were centrifuged and the pellet was resuspended in 200μl of lysis buffer. The samples were then sonicated and boiled for 5 min. 10μl of lysates of induced, non-induced and non trasformed bacterial cultures were resolved on SDS-PAGE. The expression of fusion protein LPP-OmpA-scFv 54.6-His was tested by Western blotting with anti-6HIS antibodies (Fig. 1).

FIG. 1. Expression of scFv 54.6 cloned in fusion with the LPP-OmpA leader sequence . Western blots of lysates of E.coli W3110 bacterial strain expressing the recombinant protein scFv 54.6 (45,19KDa), induced or non-induced with IPTG. The blot was reacted with the monoclonal F24-796 anti-6XHIS antibody.

Western blot with anti-6HIS antibodies showed the band corresponding to SIP 54.6 at the expected position in the IPTG-induced sample. In the non-induced sample, a weaker signal is also detected suggesting that the promoter is leaky; aspecific signals are also visible. Some of them are due to partially degraded protein.
