The coding region for residues 1–328 (SaBphP1-CBD) and residues 1–516 (SaBphP1-PCM) of the wild-type SaBphP1 were PCR-amplified from S. aurantiaca DW4/3–1 genomic DNA and cut by restriction enzymes NdeI and HindIII (New England Biolabs, Beverly, USA), and ligated into the corresponding sites of the expression vector pET28c(+) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The following primers 5′-CACCAGCATATGAGCACTGAGGCGTCCCGGAGC-3′ (forward) and 5′-CCAAAGCTTAGCGCTGGTCATAGT­CCTCGT-3′ (reverse), and 5′-CCAAAGCTTAGAGCAGTT­CCTCGCTGCGCT-3′ (reverse) were used to PCR-amplify the coding region of SaBphP1-CBD and SaBphP1-PCM, respectively. Site-directed mutagenesis to prepare the Thr289His (T289H) mutant and all other mutants described in this manuscript was carried out using the QuikChange Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, USA). The constructed plasmids and the pET11a vector carrying heme oxygenase were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain for expression. Cells were grown aerobically at 310 K to 3 × 108 cells ml−1 followed by induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside and addition of 0.5 mM δ-aminolevulinic acid overnight (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, USA). Proteins were purified as previously described (Yang et al., 2007 ▸ ). All steps were performed under green safety light.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
