Applications of BBa_K875005

The construct was tested in E.coli W3110 strain which was previously trasformed with p-REP 4 encoding for the T5 Lac Repressor. The recombinant bacterial colonies were induced at O.D.= 0.4 (2x102 bacterial cells/ml) with IPTG (1mM) at 37°C in shaker. 2ml of bacterial culture was centrifucated and the pellet was resuspended in 200μl of lysis buffer. The samples were then sonificated and boiled for 5 min at 95°C. 10μl of lysates of induced, non-induced and non trasformed bacterial coltures were resolved on SDS-PAGE. The expression of fusion protein LPP-OmpA-scFv 54.6-His was tested by Western blotting with anti-6HIS antibodies (Fig. 1).

FIG. 2. Expression of SIP 54.6 cloned in fusion with the LPP-OmpA leader sequence. Western blots of lysates of E.coli W3110 bacterial strain expressing the recombinant protein SIP 54.6, induced or non-induced with IPTG. The blot was reacted with the Affinity purified antibody goat anti-Human IgA(α).

Western blot with anti-6HIS antibodies showed the band corresponding to SIP 54.6 at the expected position in the IPTG-induced sample. In the non-induced sample, a weaker signal is also detected suggesting that the promoter is leaky; aspecific signals are also visible. Some of them are due to proteins partially degraded.
