HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE with constitutive promoter J23100

The enzyme horseradish peroxidase, found in the roots of horseradish catalyzes the oxidation of various organic substrates by hydrogen peroxide. It is a metalloenzyme with many isoforms; the most studied type is C. The composite part starts with the J23100 constitutive promoter, continues with RBS and is followed by the Horseradish Peroxidase coding sequence. The sequence ends with a terminator and a BamH1 restriction site.

Characterization

The promoter J23119 is replaced with the promoter J23100 to increase the expression of the enzyme.

The increased expression of HRP was reviewed by performing the TMB assay.

TMB assay

3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) is the most commonly used chromogen for horseradish peroxidase (HRP). TMB produces a yellow-orange colour with Horseradish Peroxidase and a stop solution (Sulfuric acid), that absorbs at 450nm.

Cell Burden

J23116 has a burden range of -0.6 ± 11.0%
