Description
Combination of T7 promoter with the lac operator. For the promoter to be active both T7 RNA polymerase and the lac operon inducer (lactose or an analogue such as IPTG) must be present. This double regulatory system reduces the promoter leakage MtrCAB is an electron transport complex of the bacteria Shewanella oneidensis
A His tag was placed at the C-terminus of the MtrB protein in order to easily be able to detect and purify this protein.
Notes
A His tag was placed at the C-terminus of the MtrB protein in order to easily be able to detect and purify this protein.
The big gene complex is supposed to be very toxic for the cell, thus, having a low leakage promoter such as the T7 lacO is crucial to ensure the viability of the cells.
