To ensure our target genes were successfully cloned into the pSB1C3 backbone, we ran the electrophoresis of Taq PCR products to check the sizes of the insert genes.

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 have their length around 1200 b.p. Each directly length is in the Table 1.
Bacteriocin |

---|---|---|
Leucocyclicin Q |
186 b.p. |
1230 b.p. |
Enterocin B |

Electrophoresis results of the PCR products with marker on the left side and target gene on the right side.
The length are labeled beside each band.

Figure 2: Agarose gel electrophoretic pattern of taq PCR products of six bacteriocin genes containing T7 promotor, RBS, intein, and CBD: (A) Leucocyclicin Q (BBa_K2599014, 1230 b.p.) (B) Enterocin B (BBa_K2599011, 1166 b.p.) (C) Bovicin HJ50 (BBa_K2599009, 1125 b.p.) (D) Enterocin 96 (BBa_K2599012, 1175 b.p.) (E) Lacticin Z (BBa_K2599013, 1112 b.p.) (F) Durancin TW-49M (BBa_K2599015, 1169b.p.)
Protein Expression
After the expression from E. coli ER2566, we have to check whether the proteins are successfully expressed. We sonicate E. coli and run SDS-PAGE to make sure the correct sizes. The mass of each proteins are 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 result are shown below. The mass of intein-CBD tag is 28 kDa, therefore, all the result shows the initial mass of each bacteriocin plus the mass of intein-CBD tag. From each SDS-PAGE result, we can confirm the production of target peptides.
