Design Notes

A point mutation was applied to the Pcold in order to be easy to clone it. Its 178th base is changed from C to A. A referred article describes as stated below.

“We found occasionally that C–A base substitution at nucleotide number 532 in the 5’-UTR region (nucleotide number is according to GenBank Accession No. M30139) diminished this growth inhibition effect (data not shown), allowing easy cloning of the genes of interest into MCS. We do not know why this mutation diminished growth inhibition effect but the mutation did not affect productivity of proteins (data not shown).”

Assay Protocol

1. Prepare overnight cultures for each sample in 3 mL LB medium containing chloramphenicol (34 microg / mL) at 37 ºC for 12h.

2. Dilute the overnight cultures in 3 mL fresh LB medium containing chloramphenicol (34 microg/mL) so that the OD600 becomes around 0.05 in triplicate (fresh culture).

3. Incubate the triplicated fresh cultures each at 28ºC so that the OD600 reaches 0.3 to 0.4

4. Incubate the triplicated fresh cultures each in water and ice bath for 2min.

5. Incubate the triplicated fresh cultures each at 18ºC, and 37ºC for each sample for 3 h.

6. Measure the OD and the fluorescence intensity.
