CDT2
Biology and Usage
The N. crassa cellobiose transporter, CDT2, is likely to be a good platform on which to start protein engineering to improve 2′FL transport. CDT2 has already been shown to be tolerant of mutation by directed evolution experiments that improved its ability to transport cellobiose.

Design and Properties
We use CDT2 from Neurospora crassa to export 2′FL across the cell membrane. The result of SDS-PAGE showed that we successfully express CDT2 in BY4741(figure1).
Experimental approach Transform CDT2 into BY4741 by lithium acetate conversion method to integrate genes into the genome of BY4741 for expression. Screen for transformants by AbA-YPD selection medium. Extract yeast total protein. Use SDS-PAGE to test whether the CDT2 is successfully expressed.
