Gene Expression

Gene copy number:
1. Plasmid copy number:
The copy-number

of a plasmid in the cell is determined by regulating the initiation of plasmid replication.
The initiation of plasmid replication may be controlled by:
the amount of available primer (RNA)
the amount of essential replication proteins
the function of essential replication proteins.
2. Gene dosage -> number of genes integrated into chromosome
- prokaryotic systems -> i.e. Transposons, phages, recombinantion
- mainly eukaryotic systems

Incompatibility of plasmids: Not all plasmids are able to coexist in

Incompatibility of plasmids:
Not all plasmids are able to coexist in the

same cell.
Plasmids which have the same replication control functions are incompatible, and are assigned to the same incompatibility group (inc group).
Plasmids of one incompatibility group are related to each other, but cannot survive together in the same bacterial cell, as only different kinds of plasmids are compatible.
Ensures that we can make libraries -> just one plasmid taken up by one cell

-- Inclusion bodies are formed

inclusion bodies can be accumulated in the

cytoplasm
to much higher level (greater than 25%)
than production as soluble form;

2) inclusion bodies is initially isolated
in a highly purified, solid, and concentrated state
by simple physical operation (centrifugation).

3) inclusion bodies have no biological activity.
For toxic proteins it may be the only one available;

4) inclusion bodies are resistant to proteolysis
That results in the high yield of protein production.

Solubilization

Refolding

Choice of solubilizing agents,
e.g., urea,
guanidine HCl,
or detergents,
plays a key role
in solubilization
efficiency

-- Refolding is initiated
by reducing concentration
of denaturant used to solubilize IBs.

Guandinium

-- Refolding competes with other reactions,
such as misfolding and aggregation
(both are leading to bad results)

-- Chaperones are helpful in refolding
(including chemical chaperones)

Bacillus

In 1872, Ferdinand Cohn, a student of Robert Koch, recognized and

named the bacterium Bacillus subtilis.
The organism was made to represent a large and diverse genus of Bacteria, Bacillus,  and was placed in the family Bacillaceae.
The family's distinguishing feature is the production of endospores, which are highly refractile resting structures formed within the bacterial cells. Since this time, members of the genus Bacillus are characterized as Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic or facultative, endospore-forming bacteria.

Pathogens of Insects: B. larvae, B. lentimorbis, and B. popilliae are invasive pathogens. B. thuringiensis forms a parasporal crystal that is toxic to beetles.
Pathogens of Animals: B. anthracis, and B. cereus.  B. alvei, B. megaterium, B. coagulans, B. laterosporus, B. subtilis, B. sphaericus, B. circulans, B. brevis, B. licheniformis, B. macerans, B. pumilus, and B. thuringiensis have been isolated from human infections.
The Genus Bacillus includes two bacteria of significant medical importance, B. anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, and B. cereus, which causes food poisoning. Nonanthrax Bacillus species can also cause a wide variety of other infections, and they are being recognized with increasing frequency as pathogens in humans.
