Usage and Biology

This composite part is made up with four basic parts, the His tag, the Sumo tag, three cutting sites(NdeI, NheI and BamHI) and our target protein BlaB-14. It encodes a protein which is BlaB-14 fused with His-Sumo tag. The fusion protein is about 40.3kD. In order to gain the highly purified target protein, we add His-Sumo tag in N-terminal of BlaB-14 and combine the three parts with these three cutting sites. The fusion protein can be cut off at the cutting site BamHI. It is convenient for us to purify our target protein.

Molecular cloning

First, we used the vector pGEX-6p-1 to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.We then extracted plasmids and performed double enzyme digestion verification.

Figure 1. (a) The PCR result of BlaB-14. (b) The verification results by enzyme digestion.

After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression and purification.
