Rosetta(DE3)pLysS ΔWecA

WecA is Undecaprenyl-phosphate α-N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase initiating the biosynthesis of enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) and O-antigen PS by catalyzing the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc)-1-phosphate onto undecaprenyl phosphate to form Und-P-P-GlcNAc. WecA is the first glycosyltransferase, and deleting the wecA gene impairs the ECA synthesis pathway in E.coli, therefore lipopolysaccharides containing it are not produced. We wanted to disable the ECA pathway to reduce the metabolic burden on the cell. We aimed to optimize polysaccharide production by creating a more efficient strain. Rosetta(DE3)pLysS strain is designed to overcome the limitations of E. coli's codon usage by providing additional tRNAs for certain codons found in eukaryotic proteins. This allows for better expression of these proteins. In Rosetta(DE3)pLysS, the rare tRNA genes and the T7 lysozyme gene are on the same plasmid.
