Arcticexpress de3 competent e coli

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies

ArcticExpress (DE3) Competent E. coli is a specialized bacterial strain designed for the expression of recombinant proteins at low temperatures. It is a genetically engineered variant of the common E. coli expression host, optimized for the production of proteins that are difficult to express at higher temperatures.

Cloning and Expression of ctxIII Protein

Genomic DNA was prepared using a genomic DNA purification kit (Promega, Madison, WI). ctxIII DNA was amplified and pieced together through PCR, subcloned onto pBluescript, and the sequence confirmed. The DNAs of N-terminal FLAG-tagged (DYKDDDDKENLYFQG-) full-length ctxIII, N-terminal-ctxIII (residues 1–309) and C-terminal-ctxIII (residues 310–489) were cloned to the pTIKL expression vector. N-terminal GFP-tagged full-length ctxIII was cloned to the DM317 vector for expression of the proteins in Dictyostelium. FLAG-ctxIII was also cloned into pFaxtBac1 for expression in SF-9 cells. N-terminal His-tagged (MRGSHHHHHHIPIEGR-) ctxI and ctxII (generous gifts of Jan Faix, Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany) and FLAG-ctxIII were cloned into pETDuet-1 (Novagen, Madison, WI) for bicistonic expression in Arctic Express (DE3)–competent E. coli (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA).

E. coli containing plasmid pOPS0750, a gift from Philip Poole (Addgene plasmid # 115511; http://n2t.net/addgene:115511; RRID:Addgene_115511) was grown in Luria Bertani (LB) broth + Kanamycin at 20 μg/mL overnight. Plasmid DNA was extracted using a Qiaprep Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen) according to manufacturer’s instructions and DNA concentration measured using a Qubit dsDNA kit (ThermoFisher). ArcticExpress (DE3) Competent E. coli (Agilent) were transformed (50 ng of plasmid) per the instructions provided. Transformed bacteria were plated on LB agar plates with Kanamycin (20 μg/mL) and Tetracycline (20 μg/mL) and incubated at 37°C overnight. Individual colonies were streaked for isolation with single colonies picked and then grown in LB broth. Overnight cultures were spun for 5 min at max speed and resuspended to an OD600 of 1.0 (10^9 cells/mL) in sterile PBS. 200 μL of transformed bacteria, or DE3 competent E. coli were used to monocolonize 10-week old female germ-free Swiss Webster Mice in a random order. Confirmation of monocolonization by either control or GUS+E. coli was done by collecting pellets at day 7, and inoculating pellets in selective media at 37°C, examining for growth overnight. Pellets from culture positive, monocolonized animals were then used to assess fecal PA as described earlier in the methods.

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.
