Inducible expression system for plasmid-free production of a protein of interest

A genome-based expression system for production of a protein of interest (POI) in a prokaryotic host, comprising at least an RNA polymerase (RNAP) gene, a gene encoding a POI, comprising a coding sequence, a promoter operably linked to said coding sequence, wherein said promoter is recognized by the...

Zusammenfassung:A genome-based expression system for production of a protein of interest (POI) in a prokaryotic host, comprising at least an RNA polymerase (RNAP) gene, a gene encoding a POI, comprising a coding sequence, a promoter operably linked to said coding sequence, wherein said promoter is recognized by the RNAP expressed from the RNAP gene, and at least one lac operator (lacO) within the sequence of said promoter; and a lacI gene encoding a lac repressor protein (LacI) comprising a coding sequence, a lacI promoter operably linked to the lacI coding sequence, wherein the lacI promoter is a wild-type lacI promoter or a lacI promoter which increases LacI expression; wherein the expression rate of the POI is regulated by an inducer binding LacI.
