Chemically competent E. coli cells suitable for T7 protein expression with enhanced capacity to correctly fold proteins with multiple disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm.
T7 expression
Engineered E. coli B strain to promote disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm
Chemically competent E. coli B cells engineered to form proteins containing disulfide bonds in the cytoplasm. Suitable for T7 promoter driven protein expression.
Highlights
Engineered E. coli B strain to promote disulfide bond formation in the cytoplasm
Constitutively expresses a chromosomal copy of the disufide bond isomerase DsbC
DsbC promotes the correction of mis-oxidized proteins into their correct form (1,3)
The cytoplasmic DsbC is also a chaperone that can assist in the folding of proteins that do not require disulfide bonds (4)
Enhanced BL21 derivative
Expresses a chromosomal copy of T7 RNAP
Activity of nonspecific endonuclease I (endA1) eliminated for highest quality plasmid preparations
Deficient in proteases Lon and OmpT
Resistance to phage T1 (fhuA2), Nit, Spec, Str*
*Resistance to low levels of streptomycin may be observed.

Application Features
Figure 1, vtPA activity assayed from crude lysates: Truncated tissue plasminogen activator (vtPA), which contains nine disulfide bonds when folded and oxidized correctly, was expressed from a pTrc99a plasmid in the cytoplasm of E. coli cells. After induction, cells were harvested and crude cell lysates were prepared. vtPA was assayed using a chromogenic substrate Chromozym t-PA (Roche #11093037001) and standardized to protein concentration using Bradford reagent. E. coli wt+ cells are DHB4, which is the parent of FÅ113 (Origami™).Figure 2, PfCHT1 chitinase activity assayed from crude lysates: Plasmodium falciparum chitinase (PfCHT1) with three cysteines were expressed from a plasmid under the regulation of T7 promoter. After induction, cells were harvested and crude cell lysates were prepared. PfCHT1 was assayed using a chromogenic substrate (CalBioChem #474550) and standardized to protein concentration using Bradford reagent.
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Competent cells should be stored at -80°C. Storage at -20°C will result in a significant decrease in transformation efficiency. Cells lose efficiency whenever they are warmed above -80°C, even if they do not thaw.
