Outline Protein purification with pQE-30-colicin pSB1A3-receiver-colicin-cloning Colicin E1 Colicin E9 AI-1 sender pBAD sender Constitutive sender 25.02.2019
pQE-30 – Colicin Cloning: Strategy Clone of colicin genes in His-tag Vector pQE-30 Purification of colicin proteins Quantification of colicin E1 & E9 activity: production rate of our colicin-receiver parameters for modeling group activity on eukaryotic cells 25.02.2019
pQE-30 – Colicin Cloning: Current state & problems 4th cloning attempt, the last three did not work Problems High religation rate of the vector Possibly the lac promoter is to leaky colicin is produced while promoter is not induced the cells kill themselves because they do not have an immunity gene 25.02.2019
pQE-30 – Colicin Cloning: Further plans New cloning attempt and transformation into… … BL-21 cells: Expression strain which contains helper plasmid with stronger supression of lac promoter. … BtuB KO strains … Cotransformation with immunity gen 25.02.2019
