E coli arcticexpress de3 cells

Manufactured by Agilent Technologies
Sourced in United States

The E. coli ArcticExpress (DE3) cells are a specialized strain of Escherichia coli bacteria designed for the expression of recombinant proteins. These cells are engineered to facilitate the production of proteins that may be difficult to express in standard E. coli strains, particularly at lower temperatures.

An Escherichia coli (E. coli)‐optimized synthetic gene encoding the E2 ORF from HPV‐16 was cloned into pCAL‐N‐FLAG (Agilent Technologies) containing an N‐terminal calmodulin bind site (CBS). CBS‐E2 and TAT‐CaM were expressed and purified as previously described with slight modifications.22 Briefly, CBS‐E2 was expressed in ArcticExpress (DE3) E. coli cells (Agilent Technologies) and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography using Calmodulin‐Sepharose (GE Healthcare). TAT‐CaM was expressed in BL21(DE3)pLysS E. coli cells (Agilent Technologies) and purified to near‐homogeneity by metal‐affinity chromatography using TALON resin (Takara Bio). After purification, protein constructs were dialyzed into calcium‐containing binding buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 10% glycerol pH 7.4), sterilized via syringe‐driven filtration through a 0.22 μm filter, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80°C until use. Samples were collected at each stage of the purification process in 2% SDS buffer and subjected to gel electrophoresis as previously described.27 Elutions were further subjected to immunoblot analysis as previously described using an HPV 16 E2 monoclonal primary antibody TVG 621 (ThermoFisher) and goat anti‐mouse HRP conjugated secondary (ThermoFisher).27

An E. coli-optimized synthetic gene encoding the E2 ORF from HPV-16 (GenBank: AAD33255.1) was cloned into pCAL-N-FLAG (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA), which contains a vector-encoded N-terminal calmodulin bind site (CBS). CBS-E2 and TAT-CaM were expressed and purified as previously described with slight modifications [27] . Briefly, CBS-E2 was expressed in ArcticExpress (DE3) E. coli cells (Agilent Technologies, USA) and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography using Calmodulin-Sepharose (GE Healthcare, USA). TAT-CaM was expressed in BL21(DE3)pLysS E. coli cells and purified to near-homogeneity by metalaffinity chromatography using TALON resin (Takara Bio, USA). After purification, proteins were dialyzed into calcium-containing binding buffer (10 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl 2 , 10% glycerol pH 7.4), sterilized via syringe-driven filtration through a 0.22 µm filter, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until use.

All reagents and enzyme substrates were purchased from commercial suppliers and used without additional purification. Peroxidase from horseradish (Type VI-A), β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dipotassium salt (NAD), flavin adenine dinucleotide disodium salt (FAD) and sequencing primers were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (UK). The RebH gene was amplified from the genomic DNA of Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes using primers 5′–GTACGTCATATGTCCGGCAAGATTGACAAG–3′ and 5′–GTCAGCAAGCTTTCAGCGGCCGTGCTGTGCC–3′with NdeI and HindIII restriction sites. The gene was cloned into the corresponding restriction sites of pET28a.28 (link) The flavin reductase (Fre) gene was amplified from the genomic DNA of E. coli BL21 (DE3) using primers 5′–AAAAAAGGTACCATGACAACCTTAAGCTGTAAA–3’ and 3′–AAAAAACTCGAGTCAGATAAATGCAAACGCATC–5′, and digested using KpnI and XhoI before ligating into the pET45b expression vector. The pET21b/GDH2 plasmid24 (link) was a kind gift from Prof. N. S. Scrutton’s laboratory. All vectors were confirmed by DNA sequencing. E. coli ArcticExpress (DE3) cells were purchased from Agilent and BL21(DE3) cells were purchased from Invitrogen. Details of halogenase enzyme production, enzymatic halogenation and assay analysis can be found in the Supporting Information.

Monoterpenoid Production in E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All E. coli strains were routinely grown in Lysogeny Broth (LB) or on LB agar plates including antibiotic supplements as appropriate (carbenicillin, 100 μg ml-1; kanamycin, 50 μg mL-1). Cloning, mutagenesis and plasmid propagation was performed using E. coli Stellar cells (Takara Bio), in vivo production of monoterpenoids was performed using E. coli DH5α cells (New England Biolabs), and recombinant protein production was performed using E. coli Arctic Express (DE3) cells (Agilent).
Synthetic genes encoding native FenS, LimS and PinS, without plastidial signal sequences were codon optimised for expression in E. coli and sub-cloned into the NcoI-XhoI restriction sites of pETM-11 fused to a Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease cleavable N-terminal His6-tag (GeneArt, Life Techonologies)3 (link). The resulting pseudo-mature constructs, truncated at the RRX8W motif30 (link)–31 (link), are shown in Table S1 of the Supporting Information. For in vivo production of monoterpenoids the genes were re-cloned into a BglBrick vector32 (link) containing a geranyl diphosphate synthase (GPPS) from Abies grandis (pBb-GPPS-mTC/S series) and co-transformed with pVMA, containing the bacterial/yeast hybrid MVA pathway, as described previously3 (link). A list of all plasmids used in this study is shown in Table S2 of the Supporting Information.

A synthetic peptide (SLPSNAHNNDNNSSD-biotin) containing amino acids 216–230 from the S. mansoni protein Smp150390.1 (Carvalho et al., 2017 (link)) was purchased from Biomatik (Ontario, Canada) and conjugated with biotin at the C-terminal end. The synthetic peptide had a purity of 96.22% and was resuspended in ultra-pure water to a final concentration of 2.5 mg/ml and stored at-70°C until use. A S. mansoni recombinant protein, called by the name PPE (rPPE), and encoded by a sequence similar to the Smp_049300.3 gene, was expressed in E. coli ArcticExpress (DE3) cells (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, United States) using the pET21a plasmid and purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography using the Ni-NTA Fast Start Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany). The resulting purified rPPE was stored at-70°C in PBS at 1 mg/ml until 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.
