Part:BBa_K3875014
Usage and Biology
Background:
To improve the part BBa_K1378001, we mutated the gene gadB of 2019_SCUT
( BBa_K1378001)
and tried to characterize GadB and GadB(mut) in different pH value. Then results of the two parts are compared.
We first construct the plasmid T7 promoter-gadB(mut) below.
Design:
Because we had successfully constructed the composite part (Lac-gadB(mut)-lac-gdhA-T1/
BBa_K3875007),
so we can directly remove the gene gadB(mut) from Lac-gadB(mut)-lac-gdhA-T1
( BBa_K3875007)
with Primer 1 (CTTGAGACCTCCTTCTTAAAGTTAAAC) and Primer 3 (CAAGGGGTTATGCTAGTTATTGCTCTTAGTGATCGCTGAGATATTTCAGG).
After PCR amplification, pET30-gadB(mut) and a had the same cohesive end by restriction endonuclease, and then they were connected by T7 ligase. Finally, the linked plasmid was transformed into E. coli DH5a.
After the Polymerase Chain Reaction, the gene run a gel.
As we can see from this picture, number 9,13,15 is the proper gadB(mut) that we need.
In order to detect the expression of recombinant gene, the plasmid containing pET30-gadB(mut) was transformed into E. coli DH5a for fermentation (In fact, we didn't do it because of time constraints).
After that, we plan to purify the protein GadB (mut) and detect the protein activity of GadB in different pH value.
Our assumption is that our GadB (mut) would remain active at different pH, instead of just being active in pH 4.5.
