We developed a method to co-express protein pairs from collections of otherwise identical Escherichia coli plasmids expressing different ORFs by incorporating a 61-nucleotide sequence (LINK) into the plasmid to allow generation of tandem plasmids. Tandem plasmids are formed in a ligation-independent manner, propagate efficiently, and produce protein pairs in high quantities. This greatly facilitates co-expression for structural genomics projects that produce thousands of clones bearing identical origins and antibiotic markers.
我们开发了一种方法,通过将一段61个核苷酸的序列(LINK)整合到质粒中,从表达不同开放阅读框(ORF)的相同大肠杆菌质粒集合中共同表达蛋白质对,从而产生串联质粒。串联质粒以不依赖连接的方式形成,能高效繁殖,并大量产生蛋白质对。这极大地促进了结构基因组学项目中的共表达,该项目会产生数千个具有相同起源和抗生素标记的克隆。
