With these induction conditions, in our first test we failed to observe a clear band of Lon protein. The bacteria culture was also relatively clear. It is possible that Lon protease has been decomposing the proteins needed for E. coli growth. Because the bacteria growth was suppressed by the Lon protease, its own production was low. | With these induction conditions, in our first test we failed to observe a clear band of Lon protein.

When there is LacI and there is LacO before the Lon gene sequence, IPTG can be used to control the expression. The control can be tuned by the concentration and timing of induction. We then changed our condition: the bacteria were cultured on LB plate overnight at 37C, and then pick a single colony and incubate in LB medium until the OD600 reached 0.6-0.8. At this time, IPTG was added at 0.5 mM, and the medium was again incubated at 37C for another 4 hours. This time the SDS-PAGE results showed remarkable expression of the Lon protease. The results confirmed the capability of this part, and also showed for better protein expression and better bateria growth, the timing for induction should also be considered and experimented. | When there is LacI and there is LacO before the Lon gene sequence, IPTG can be used to control the expression.

rLon (E.coli)-6xHis
Usage and Biology
This the coding sequence of Lon protease obtained from E. coli sources. Our project in 2021 uses this part in E. coli BL21(DE3), Rosetta and BL21(plus) strains to produce E. coli Lon protease. According to the reports in literatures, Lon protease decomposes C-Myc protein commonly found in cancer cells. Because of this potential, the protease is planned to be used to make medicine to suppress cancer recurrence.
We designed to use LacI and LacO together with T7 promoter to express this Lon protease in a commonly used plasmid pet28a(+).
Protocols
For the measurement, E. coli Rosetta containing the designed plasmid was incubated at 37C overnight with 1mM IPTG added. Then the cells are lysed by 200 μL 4% SDS for 10 minutes in room temperature, then 10 min at 95C. Then loading buffer is added. The SDS-PAGE was performed with a 12% precast polyacrylamide gel. Coomassie bright blue stain is used to show the bands.
With these induction conditions, in our first test we failed to observe a clear band of Lon protein. The bacteria culture was also relatively clear. It is possible that Lon protease has been decomposing the proteins needed for E. coli growth. Because the bacteria growth was suppressed by the Lon protease, its own production was low.
When there is LacI and there is LacO before the Lon gene sequence, IPTG can be used to control the expression. The control can be tuned by the concentration and timing of induction. We then changed our condition: the bacteria were cultured on LB plate overnight at 37C, and then pick a single colony and incubate in LB medium until the OD600 reached 0.6-0.8. At this time, IPTG was added at 0.5 mM, and the medium was again incubated at 37C for another 4 hours. This time the SDS-PAGE results showed remarkable expression of the Lon protease. The results confirmed the capability of this part, and also showed for better protein expression and better bateria growth, the timing for induction should also be considered and experimented.
Summary
This part LacI can work with LacO in E. coli Rosseta to control the protein production. The control power has important meanings for some special proteins like Lon protease, which can suppress bacteria growth. Our results suggested at 0.5mM IPTG concentration and an induction timing at OD600=0.6~0.8 can help improve the production target protein.
