Constitutive Mfp3 Expression System

Nitric-oxide-inducible lysis module

Usage and Biology

The plasmid pET-29(a)-pT7-lac operator-(SOD-1+His)-T7 enables high-level expression of SOD-1 in Escherichia coli using the pET29a vector. This system controls SOD-1 expression with the weakly inducible lac promoter. The ribosome binding site (RBS) ensures efficient translation of the mRNA, while the T7 terminator provides a clean and efficient end for transcription. This system is designed for the efficient expression of SOD under conditions unaffected by environmental factors, thereby enhancing its antioxidant activity.

Construction of the plasmid

Our team designed the plasmid pET-29(a)-pT7-lac operator-(SOD-1+His)-T7, and the plasmid map is illustrated below.

Functional Expression

2 mL of overnight induced bacterial culture was used to extract proteins with the Biotech™ bacterial active protein extraction reagent. The SOD enzyme activity was measured using the Beyotime™ SOD enzyme activity assay kit, and the absorbance at 450 nm (A450) was determined using a microplate reader.Definition of SOD Enzyme Activity Units: In the aforementioned xanthine oxidase coupled reaction system, when the inhibition percentage reaches 50%, the enzyme activity in the reaction system is defined as one enzyme activity unit (unit).

Inhibition rate and enzyme activity calculation formula

Figure 2-1 Inhibition rate and enzyme activity calculation formula

The original data is shown in the table below. The calculated inhibition rate for the inducible SOD enzyme is approximately 46%, while the inhibition rate for DH5α is around 38%. This indicates successful expression of the SOD protein.

The inhibition percentage for DH5α is 38.4%, with an enzyme activity of 0.6245 U. The inhibition percentage for SOD is 46.1%, with an enzyme activity of 0.8537 U.
