    What is a Disulfide Bond (1 of 4)
Chemically competent E. coli K12 cells engineered to form proteins containing disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm. Suitable for T7 promoter driven protein expression.
Highlights
  • Engineered E. coli K12 to promote disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm
  • Constitutively expresses a chromosomal copy of the disufide bond isomerase DsbC
  • DsbC promotes the correction of mis-oxidized proteins into their correct form (1,3)
  • The cytoplasmic DsbC is also a chaperone that can assist in the folding of proteins that do not require disulfide bonds (4)
  • Expresses a chromosomal copy of T7 RNAP
  • Tight control of expression by lacIq allows potentially toxic genes to be cloned
  • Resistance to phage T1 (fhuA2), Nit, Str, Spec

  • Enhanced capacity to correctly fold proteins with multiple disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm
Application Features

Figure 1, vtPA activity assayed from crude lysates: Figure 1, vtPA activity assayed from crude lysates:
Truncated tissue plasminogen activator (vtPA), which contains nine disulfide bonds when folded and oxidized correctly, was expressed from a pTrc99a plasmid in the cytoplasm of E. coli cells. After induction, cells were harvested and crude cell lysates were prepared. vtPA was assayed using a chromogenic substrate Chromozym t-PA (Roche #11093037001) and standardized to protein concentration using Bradford reagent. E. coli wt+ cells are DHB4, which is the parent of FÅ113 (Origami™).
Figure 2, PfCHT1 chitinase activity assayed from crude lysates: Figure 2, PfCHT1 chitinase activity assayed from crude lysates:
Plasmodium falciparum chitinase (PfCHT1) with three cysteines were expressed from a plasmid under the regulation of T7 promoter. After induction, cells were harvested and crude cell lysates were prepared. PfCHT1 was assayed using a chromogenic substrate (CalBioChem #474550) and standardized to protein concentration using Bradford reagent.

Notes
  • 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.
