High efficiency chemically competent E. coli cells suitable for T7 expression with highest level of expression control.

  • T7 RNA Polymerase in the lac operon - no λ prophage
  • Tight control of expression by laclq allows potentially toxic genes to be cloned
  • Control of T7 RNA Polymerase by lysozyme allows potentially toxic genes to be expressed
  • Deficient in proteases Lon and OmpT
  • Resistant to phage T1 (fhuA2)
  • Free of animal products
  • No dry ice surcharge on competent cell shipments

Chemically competent E. coli cells suitable for high efficiency transformation and protein expression.
Highlights
  • Enhanced BL21 derivative for T7 expression
  • T7 RNA Polymerase in the lac operon - no λ prophage
  • Tight control of expression by laclq allows potentially toxic genes to be cloned
  • Control of T7 RNA Polymerase by lysozyme allows toxic genes to be expressed
  • Lys Y is a variant of T7 lysozyme lacking any amidase activity, thus cells are less susceptible to lysis during induction
  • Maintenance of lysozyme/lacIq plasmid does not require antibiotic selection
  • Deficient in proteases Lon and OmpT
  • Resistant to phage T1 (fhuA2)
  • Does not restrict methylated DNA (McrA-, McrBC-, EcoBr-m-, Mrr-)
  • B Strain
  • Free of animal products

Application Features

Transformation of a toxic mammalian clone into E. coli hosts C3013_fig1
A T7 expression plasmid and the same plasmid containing a gene encoding a toxic mammalian protein were transformed into each host. Comparison of the relative transformation efficiencies demonstrates that the T7 Express hosts provide the levels of control necessary for transformation of potentially toxic clones. BL21(DE3) could not be transformed with the toxic clone.
T7-controlled expression of a non-toxic protein in E. coli hostsC3013b_v2_000012
 A T7 expression plasmid containing a gene encoding an E. coli protein was transformed into each host, grown to 0.6 OD and induced for 3 hours. Comparison of soluble extracts from uninduced (-) and induced (+) cells shows superior control of basal expression in the T7 Express hosts while maintaining high levels of induced expression.
Effect of heat shock time on T7 Express lysY/Iq competent E.coli transformation efficiencyC3013a
50 μl of competent cells were transformed with 100 pg of pUC19 control DNA following the provided High Efficiency Transformation Protocol except heat shock time varied from 0 to 80 seconds.
Effect of DNA incubation time on T7 Express lysY/Iq competent E.coli transformation efficiencyC3013b
 50 μl of competent cells were transformed with 100 pg of pUC19 control DNA following the provided High Efficiency Transformation Protocol except DNA incubation time varied from 0 to 40 minutes

Notes
  • CAUTION: This product contains DMSO, a hazardous material. Review the MSDS before handling.
  • STORAGE AND HANDLING: Competent cells should be stored at -80°C. Storage at -20°C will result in a significant decrease in transformation efficiency. Cells lose efficiency whenever they are warmed above -80°C, even if they do not thaw.
  • Maintenance of the miniF plasmid does not require antibiotic selection. If chloramphenicol is added, use 10 µg/ml final concentration.
