General description

The BL21(DE3) Chemically Competent strains contain the phage T7 RNA polymerase gene linked to the IPTG-inducible promoter, for use with any expression plasmid containing the T7 promoter.

Genotype

F – ompT hsdSB (rB- mB-) gal dcm (DE3)

Application

The E. coli strain BL21 (DE3) has been used:

to express tau 2N4R isoform (aa1–441) and the truncated tau (aa1–421) using pET19b as expression vector.

Evaluation of laser bacterial anti-fouling of transparent nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized-zirconia cranial implant.

Yasaman Damestani et al.

Lasers in surgery and medicine, 48(8), 782-789 (2016-10-19)

The development and feasibility of a novel nanocrystalline yttria-stabilized-zirconia (nc-YSZ) cranial implant has been recently established. The purpose of what we now call "window to the brain (WttB)" implant (or platform), is to improve patient care by providing a technique

Magnetization of active inclusion bodies: comparison with centrifugation in repetitive biotransformations.

Romana Koszagova et al.

Microbial cell factories, 17(1), 139-139 (2018-09-05)

Physiological aggregation of a recombinant enzyme into enzymatically active inclusion bodies could be an excellent strategy to obtain immobilized enzymes for industrial biotransformation processes. However, it is not convenient to recycle "gelatinous masses" of protein inclusion bodies from one reaction

Structural basis for the reaction cycle of DASS dicarboxylate transporters.

David B Sauer et al.

eLife, 9 (2020-09-02)

Citrate, α-ketoglutarate and succinate are TCA cycle intermediates that also play essential roles in metabolic signaling and cellular regulation. These di- and tricarboxylates are imported into the cell by the divalent anion sodium symporter (DASS) family of plasma membrane transporters

Encapsulation mechanisms and structural studies of GRM2 bacterial microcompartment particles.

Gints Kalnins et al.

Nature communications, 11(1), 388-388 (2020-01-22)

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are prokaryotic organelles consisting of a protein shell and an encapsulated enzymatic core. BMCs are involved in several biochemical processes, such as choline, glycerol and ethanolamine degradation and carbon fixation. Since non-native enzymes can also be encapsulated

Bacterial Transformation

Bacterial transformation is a process of horizontal gene transfer by which some bacteria take up foreign genetic material (naked DNA) from the environment. Bacteria that can take up free, extracellular genetic material are known as competent cells.
