Part:BBa_K2933260

RBS b+Linker h+His+Linker a+Sumo+Linker b+ARL-1+T7 terminator

This part consists of RBS, protein coding sequence(His+Linker a+Sumo+Linker b+ARL-1) and T7 terminator,and the biological module can be build into E.coli for protein expression. This part can be prefaced with promoters of different strengths and types to regulate expression function.

Usage and Biology

ARL-1 is a type of subclass A beta-lactamases, which is separated from Staphylococcus arlettae. The blaARL-1 was recently discovered and reported, that have a high mutation.

Molecular cloning

First, we used the vector pET-28a(+) and the vector pET28a-SUMO to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.

Figure 1. Left: The PCR result of ARL-1. Right: 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.

Expression and purification

Pre-expression:
The bacteria were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with kanamycin(50 μg/mL final concentration) in 37℃ overnight.
Massive expressing:
After taking samples, we transfered them into 1L LB medium and add antibiotic to 100 μg/mL final concentration. Grow them up in 37°C shaking incubator. Grow until an OD 600 nm of 0.8 to 1.2 (roughly 3-4 hours). Induce the culture to express protein by adding 1 mM IPTG (isopropylthiogalactoside, MW 238 g/mol). Put the liter flasks in 16°C shaking incubator for 16h.
