CcdA antidote with the mob promoter (reversed)

Stabilization system : a higher plasmid stability means more proteins. Principle: in the StabyExpress^TM system, the antidote gene (ccdA: [1] and [2]) is introduced in the plasmid DNA under the control of a weak constitutive promoter, the mob promoter. This promoter comes from a broad host range plasmid (pBHR1). The toxic gene (ccdB) is introduced in the chromosome of the bacteria, which can be furnished by DelphiGenetics. Expression of the poison gene is under the control of a promoter strongly repressed in the presence of the plasmid. When the plasmid is lost, the antidote is degraded and the production of the toxin is induced, causing cell death (for more details, please refer to the "safety" section).For researchers and industries this system offers a great benefit because it is an antibiotic free expression system.

-Stabilization system : Higher plasmid stability = More proteins Principle: In the StabyExpressTM system, the antidote gene (ccdA) is introduced in the plasmid DNA under the control of a weak constitutive promoter : the mob promoter, which doesn’t come from E. coli but from a broad host range plasmid (pBHR1) . On the other hand, the toxic gene (ccdB) is introduced in the chromosome of the bacteria, which can be furnished by DelphiGenetics. Expression of the poison gene is under the control of a promoter strongly repressed in the presence of the plasmid. When the plasmid is lost, the antidote is degraded and the production of the toxin is induced, causing cell death. Practically this means that when during the pre-induction phase bacteria are grown, 100% of the bacteria will carry the vector. If they lose the vector, they will not obtain a growth advantage, but will die. Upon induction 100% of the bacteria will start producing the recombinant protein leading to higher yields of the target protein and less background caused by unwanted proteins. For manufacturers of recombinant proteins this system offers a great benefit because it is an antibiotic free expression system. Therefore the manufactured protein will also be free of traces of antibiotics. For more information, please visit the Delphi Genetics's site [http://www.delphigenetics.com].
