2. MAIN PART
– Terminator of transcription
Inducible Promoters in E.coli Expression Systems
Arabinose-Inducible Promoter
Typical components of an expression vector
– Terminator of transcription
His-tagged recombinant proteins may easily be purified
by means of Ni-chelate chromatography
Most simple expression organism: E. coli
Advantage:
easy to purify
Disadvantage:
difficult to resolve
– Transfer vector contains missing parts of the gene for protein 1629
Transfection
Also inducible expression systems for
mammalian cells, e.g. T-Rex

Some examples:
– These modules are ideal for rearrangements (even using mixed modules
from different organisms) leading to hybrid enzymes synthesizing novel, not
naturally occuring polyketides
– UAA is added to the culture medium, transported into the cell, enzymatically
(aaRS) connected to the new tRNA, and incorporated into synthesized
protein(s)
