Escherichia coli bl21 de3

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in United States

Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) is a common bacterial strain used in molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories. It is an E. coli host strain optimized for recombinant protein expression. The strain carries the DE3 lysogen, which contains the T7 RNA polymerase gene under the control of the lacUV5 promoter, allowing for inducible expression of target proteins.

Overexpression and Purification of EtSIR2A

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PCR product of EtSIR2A was digested with the restriction endonucleases EcoRI and XhoI, and cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a (+) (Novagen, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by DNA sequencing and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) (Promega, Madison, USA). Bacteria with the recombinant pET-28a (+) plasmid were induced with 1 mM isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG; Sigma, Louis, USA) at 37 °C for 6 h, collected by centrifugation at 10,000× g for 15 min, and sonicated on ice. The supernatant was collected, and recombinant protein was purified using a His Bind Purification kit (Novagen). Purified protein lysate was analyzed by 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and its concentration was determined using a BCA protein assay kit (Novagen). The purified protein was stored in aliquots at -20 °C until further use.

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.
