General description
BL21(DE3)pLysS-T1R are competent E. coli that are suitable for high level induction and expression genes regulated by expression vectors with T7 promoter. The cells have transformation efficiency of ≥5x106 cfu/μg when transformed with non-saturating amounts of pUC19 plasmid DNA.
Sigma′s BL21-T1R competent E. coli cells are grown and made chemically competent using an optimized procedure specific to the strain, followed by strain verification and efficiency testing. The cells are provided in frozen 50 μl aliquots for convenience. Each aliquot can be used for a single transformation.
Application
Suitable for induction and expression of genes directed by the expression systems with T7 promoter
Features and Benefits
- Ensures induction and expression of genes from any T7-promoter based expression system
- Contains the genotype tonA that protects the clonal stocks from lytic bacteriophages
- Contains T7 RNA polymerase that is inducible by addition of IPTG to the culture
- Renders resistance to chloramphenicol; useful for selection process
- Allows compatibility with plasmids containing ColE1 or pMB1 origin
- Guaranteed high transformation efficiency
- Convenient 50 μL aliquots
Components
- BL21(DE3)pLysS-T1R chemically competent cells, 10 X 50 μL (B3185)
- pUC 19 control DNA (10 ng/μL), 10 μL (D2567)
Principle
BL21(DE3)pLysS-T1R does not express ion proteases and outer membrane protease, ompT. This prevents the degradation of heterologous proteins expressed by T7 expression vector systems. This strain also contains tonA genotype that confers resistance to lytic bacteriophages such as T1 and T5. The strain is lysogenic for lambda prophage and contains an inducible T7 RNA polymerase regulated by lacUV5 promoter. T7 lysozyme produced by the pLysS plasmid inhibits T7 polymerase that improves transcriptional control.
