Description
ptrc* is a modified form of ptrc promoter with the -35 and -10 regions being present in the reverse order and the promoter is flanked by fimE recognition sequence. FimE is an invertase capable of inverting any DNA sequence flanked between its recognition seqence. This fim inversion system would help avoid leaky expression. We expressed a new lysis device, DpnI under the control of fim inversion promoter. DpnI is a restriction enzyme capable of chopping up all methylated DNAs. We propose DpnI as a novel lysis device.
DpnC and DpnD are obtained from Streptococcus pneumoniae R6 strain.
Notes
One should be careful while expressing Dpn genes. Dpn is supposed to chop up the DNA and cause cell death. Hence, no leaky level of Dpn is needed to recover live cells
