Overview

This is an enhanced T7 promoter for high yield expression of protein compared to traditional T7 promoter.
This promoter is derived from the following publication: https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-020-0939-8

Usage and Biology

The typical T7 consensus sequence used in the ubiquitous pET system, such as in popular plasmids such as pET28a has inherent flaws that inhibit the maximal expression and yield of proteins. The nucleotide sequence of the T7 promoter which is derived from the consensus φ10 promoter in the T7 phage. The original consensus sequence is 23 nucleotides long spanning from -17 to +6 bases relative to the mRNA start site. However it is noted that in the pET system, the sequence is truncated at 19 nucleotides from -17 to +2 bases relative to the mRNA start site. By incorporating the full consensus sequence, the protein expression and yield is thus enhanced.

Results

To compare the relative expression of the enhanced promoter the pET system, pET system with cloned RBS and enhanced T7 were cloned into pET28(a)-FGF2 and the yield of the 21kDa product was compared. The constructs were then transformed into T7 Express lysY Competent E. coli.
