Molecular cloning

First,we obtained BcII by PCR.

Figure 1. The PCR result of BcII.
Then 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.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

Exploration of expression condition:
Take monoclone in the culture plate into LB tube and cultivate in shaking incubator overnight(10-12h) to activate bacteria. Test the OD600 number of bacteria, then pipe 5-10ul into each new 5 mL LB tube. Don’t forget to add antibiotic into tubes and mark them.Cultivate in shaking incubator for 3-4 hours until the OD600 of bacteria range from 0.6 to 0.8.Set the gradient of condition to explore how to express it best.We use 0.2mM IPTG, 16°C/0.2mM IPTG, 37°C/0.4mM IPTG, 16°C/0.4mM IPTG, 37°C/0.6mM IPTG, 16°C/0.6mM IPTG, 37°C/0.8mM IPTG, 16°C/0.8mM IPTG, 37°Cas different conditions.
