ArsR

Profile

Name: ArsR

Base Pairs: 351 bp

Origin: Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655

Properties: Gene technology for protecting patented bacterial strains

ArsR negatively controls the expression of the genes involved in arsenical and antimonite metals resistance whose expression is induced in the presence of heavy metals ，which is a trans-acting regulatory protein which controls its own expression. The repressive effect of ArsR is alleviated by oxyions of +III oxidation state of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, as well as arsenate (As(V)).

Experimental approach

Production, purification, and sequcing analysis of recombinant ArsR-amilGFP

Figure 1: Gel Electrophoresis Results of PCR of amilGFP Genes..

Figure 1 shows gel electrophoresis results of amilGFP PCR. Column M is a 2K marker ladder. Columns 1-6 are PCR products of amilGFP genes. All 1-6 columns displayed successful results at 700bp which could be used for later experiments. 

Figure 2: Gel Electrophoresis Results of PCR of ArsR Genes..

Figures2 show the result for colony PCR identification on the E.coli with ArsR inserted that were cultivated previously. The purpose is to examine whether the E.coli contains expected gene segment of ARSR.
