Cloning
All of the sequences contained T7 promoter, RBS, bacteriocin, intein and CBD, were shown in Figure 1.
After amplification with PCR, all the PCR products' lengths are around 1200 b.p. The exact lengths are listed in Table 1.
Bacteriocin |
Length |
Length of PCR product |
---|---|---|
Leucocyclicin Q |
186 b.p. |
1230 b.p. |
Enterocin B |
210 b.p. |
1254 b.p. |
Enterocin 96 |
219 b.p. |
1263 b.p. |
Lacticin Z |
153 b.p. |
1197 b.p. |
Bovicin HJ50 |
171 b.p. |
1215 b.p. |
Durancin TW-49M |
213 b.p. |
1257 b.p. |
The figure 2 is electrophoresis results of the PCR products with marker on the left side and target gene on the right side. The lengths are labeled beside each band.

(B) Enterocin B (BBa_K2599011, 1254 b.p.) (C) Bovicin HJ50 (BBa_K2599009, 1215 b.p.) (D) Lacticin Z (BBa_K2599013, 1197 b.p.) (E) Enterocin 96 (BBa_K2599012, 1263 b.p.) (F) Durancin TW-49M (BBa_K2599015, 1257 b.p.)
Protein Expression
After the expression from E. coli BL21 Rosetta-gami, we had to check whether the proteins were successfully expressed. We broke E. coli with sonication and ran SDS-PAGE to check the correct sizes of the target proteins. The mass of each protein is presented in Table 2.
Bacteriocin |
Mass (kDa) |
Mass of peptides with intein |
---|---|---|
Leucocyclicin Q |
6.4 |
34.4 |
Enterocin B |
7.5 |
35.5 |
Bovicin HJ50 |
6.25 |
34.25 |
Enterocin 96 |
7.9 |
35.9 |
Lacticin Z |
5.9 |
33.9 |
Durancin TW-49M |
7.3 |
35.3 |
The gel of SDS-PAGE results were shown below. The mass of intein-CBD tag is 28 kDa. Therefore, all the results showed the initial mass of each bacteriocin plus the mass of intein-CBD tag. From SDS-PAGE results, we could confirm the production of target peptides.

Protein Purification
Finally, we added 1,4-dithiothreitol(DTT) to purify bacteriocins from intein-CBD tag(28 kDa). The result is shown as below. We used Enterocin B as representative. The result showed that we could successfully purify bacteriocin.
M: Protein Ladder 5–245 kDa;
C: Negative control. Enterocin B without purification(35.5 kDa);
E: Experimental group. The purified Enterocin B(7.5 kDa).
