Experimental Results

The OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin fragment on the plasmid (ordered from GUANGZHOU IGE BIOTECHNOLOGY LTD.) was amplified using PCR and cloned into the pET30a plasmid using the Gibson Assembly method (ABclonal 2× MultiF Seamless Assembly Mix kit) to obtain the plasmid pET30a-OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin. Subsequently, this plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to test the secretion expression of the toxin. The pET30a-OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin was cultured overnight in LB broth, and the culture was induced with IPTG for 3 hours. The culture was then centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the bacterial cells and the supernatant, and the expression results were analyzed by SDS-PAGE.

SDS-PAGE Electrophoresis Detection of Cry3A-like Toxin Expression Lane 1, Concentrated supernatant of pET-30a (+IPTG), Lane 2, Concentrated supernatant of pET30a-OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin (+IPTG), Lane 3, Concentrated supernatant of pET30a-OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin (-IPTG)

The supernatant of the induced culture showed a 66.6 kDa band corresponding to Cry3A-like toxin, which was absent in the supernatant without IPTG induction and the wild-type control. This indicates the successful secretion expression of Cry3A-like toxin.

Next, we will add a 6×His tag to pET30a-OmpA-Cry3A-like toxin using the enzyme cutting connection/ΩPCR method and perform Western blot experiments to further confirm the secretion expression of Cry3A-like toxin.
