Ara-Inducible Cha6605_4344g2 Expression System

A GAF domain of the cyanobacteriochrome (CBCR) Cha6605_4344 with an intein/chitin-binding domain fused to the C-terminus for purification. Expression regulated by a pBAD promoter. Cells did not appear to express photoactive proteins, suggesting that the protein requires a different organic co-factor other than phycocyanobilin.

Characterization

The ara-inducible system was cloned into pSB1C3 and co-transformed into DH5-alpha cells along with a plasmid containing heme oxygenase and PcyA. After growing the cells to OD=0.9-1 in Terrific Broth, the cultures were induced to a final culture concentration of 1mM arabinose to study the color of the cells once harvested (Fig.1).
