    摘要: Methods and compositions are provided for regulated expression of polypeptides in transformed bacterial hosts. A novel class of plasmid cloning vehicles includes a DNA sequence coding for the desired polypeptide (on an insertion site therefor) linked for transcriptional expression in reading phase with four functional fragments derived from the lipoprotein gene of E. coli. The plasmids further include a DNA sequence coding for a specific segment of the E. coli lac promoter-operator, which is positioned in the proper orientation for transcriptional expression of the desired polypeptide, as well as a separate functional E. coli lacI gene coding for the associated repressor molecule which can interact with the lac promoter-operator to prevent transcription therefrom. Expression of the desired polypeptide is under the control of both the constitutive promoter and the inducible promoter, although transcription from either promotor is normally blocked by the repressor molecule. However, the repressor can be selectively inactivated by means of an inducer molecule to permit transcriptional expression of the desired polypeptide from both promoter. The methods utilize such plasmids to introduce genetic capability into micro-organisms for the production of proteins, such as medically or commerically useful hormones, enzymes, immunogenic proteins, or intermediates therefor, but only in the presence of an appropriate inducer.

    摘要: Methods and compositions are provided for regulated expression and secretion of polypeptides in transformed bacterial hosts. A novel class of plasmid cloning vehicles includes a DNA sequence coding for the desired polypeptide (or an insertion site therefor) linked for transcriptional expression in reading phase with four functional fragments derived from the lipoprotein gene of E. coli. The plasmids also include a DNA fragment coding for the signal peptide of the ompA protein of E. coli, positioned such that the desired polypeptide is expressed with the ompA signal peptide at its amino terminus, thereby allowing efficient secretion across the cytoplasmic membrane. The plasmids further include a DNA sequence coding for a specific segment of the E. coli lac promoter-operator, which is positioned in the proper orientation for transcriptional expression of the desired polypeptide, as well as a separate functional E. coli lacI gene coding for the associated repressor molecule which can interact with the lac promoter-operator to prevent transcription therefrom. Expression of the desired polypeptide is under the control of both the lipoprotein promoter and the lac promoter-operator, although transcription from either promoter is normally blocked by the repressor molecule. However, the repressor can be selectively inactivated by means of an inducer molecule to permit transcriptional expression of the desired polypeptide from both promoters. The methods utilize such plasmids to introduce genetic capability into micro-organisms for the production of normally secreted proteins, such as medically or commercially useful hormones, enzymes, immunogenic proteins, or intermediates therefor, but only in the presence of an appropriate inducer.

    摘要: Methods and compositions are provided for regulated expression of polypeptides in transformed bacterial hosts. A novel class of plasmid cloning vehicles includes a DNA sequence coding for the desired polypeptide (or an insertion site therefor) linked for transcriptional expression in reading phase with one or more functional fragments derived from an outer membrane protein gene of a Gram-negative bacterium. The plasmids also include an inducible promoter sequence positioned in the proper orientation for transcriptional expression of the desired polypeptide, as well as a separate DNA sequence coding for a repressor molecule which can interact with the inducible promoter to prevent transcription therefrom. Expression of the desired polypeptide is under the control of both the constitutive promoter and the inducible promoter, although transcription from either promoter is normally blocked by the repressor molecule.

    摘要: The present invention describes a single-protein production (SPP) system in living E. coli cells that exploits the unique properties of an mRNA interferase, for example, MazF, a bacterial toxin that is a single stranded RNA- and ACA-specific endoribonuclease, which efficiently and selectively degrades all cellular mRNAs in vivo, resulting in a precipitous drop in total protein synthesis. Concomitant expression of MazF and a target gene engineered to encode an ACA-less mRNA results in sustained and high-level (up to 90%) target expression in the virtual absence of background cellular protein synthesis. Remarkably, target synthesis continues for at least 4 days, indicating that cells retain transcriptional and translational competence despite their growth arrest. SPP technology works well for yeast and human proteins, even a bacterial integral membrane protein. This novel system enables unparalleled signal to noise ratios that should dramatically simplify structural and functional studies of previously intractable but biologically important proteins. The present invention also provides an optimized condensed single protein production system.

    摘要: The present invention provides the multifunctional biological and biochemical sensor technology based on ZnO nanostructures. The ZnO nanotips serve as strong DNA or protein molecule binding sites to enhance the immobilization. Patterned ZnO nanotips are used to provide conductivity-based biosensors. Patterned ZnO nanotips are also used as the gate for field-effect transistor (FET) type sensors. Patterned ZnO nanotips are integrated with SAW or BAW based biosensors. These ZnO nanotip based devices operate in multimodal operation combining electrical, acoustic and optical sensing mechanisms. The multifunctional biosensors can be arrayed and combined into one biochip, which will enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of biological and biochemical detection due to strong immobilization and multimodal operation capability. Such biological and biochemical sensor technology are useful in detection of RNA-DNA, DNA-DNA, protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-small molecules interaction. It can be further applied for drug discovery, and for environmental monitoring and protection.
