45 results about "TetR" patented technology

Tet Repressor proteins (otherwise known as TetR) are proteins playing an important role in conferring antibiotic resistance to large categories of bacterial species. Tetracycline (tc) is a broad family of antibiotics to which bacteria have evolved resistance. Tc normally kills bacteria by binding to the bacterial ribosome and halting protein synthesis. The expression of tc resistance genes is regulated by Tet Repressor Protein. More specifically, TetR represses the expression of TetA, a membrane protein that pumps out substances toxic to the bacteria like tc, by binding the TetA operator. In tc resistant bacteria, TetA will pump out tc before it can bind to the ribosome because the repressive action of TetR on TetA is halted by binding of tc to TetR. Therefore, TetR may have an important role in helping scientists to better understand mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and how to treat antibiotic resistant bacteria. TetR is one of many proteins in the TetR protein family, which is so named because TetR is the most well characterized member.

Method for improving erythrocin yield through inactivation saccharopolyspora erythraea SACE_3446 gene

The invention discloses a method for improving erythrocin yield through a negative control gene SACE_3446 on an inactivation saccharopolyspora erythraea chromosome. Saccharopolyspora erythraea is used for producing erythrocin. The erythrocin and derived drugs of the erythrocin such as clarithromycin, azithromycin and telithromycin are used widely in clinic. Erythrocin high-producing strain screening is very important in industrial production. The erythromycin biosynthesis negative control gene SACE_3446 is screened from a saccharopolyspora erythraea TetR family. Compared with erythrocin yield of an original strain, deletion mutants of the saccharopolyspora erythraea SACE_3446 is improved remarkably, the erythrocin is returned to low yield after gene complementation of the SACE_3446, and therefore the SACE_3446 gene is a erythromycin biosynthesis negative control gene. The inactivation saccharopolyspora erythraea SACE_3446 gene can improve the erythrocin yield through a genetic engineering way. Due to the fact that erythromycin biosynthesis gene control is a network system, upstream and downstream control factors acted by SACE_3446 control factors can be found by using the SACE_3446 as an object. The erythrocin yield can also be improved by changing upstream or downstream control factor genes of the saccharopolyspora erythraea SACE_3446 control factors.

PendingCN113444739AStrong fluorescent activityFacilitate fluorescent tracer studiesVectorsAnimals/human peptidesEscherichia coliBrucella
The invention discloses construction of a broad-host plasmid for inducible expression of green fluorescent protein and application of the broad-host plasmid in fluorescent tracing. A pBT-iEGFP plasmid disclosed by the invention is constructed on the basis of a broad-host plasmid pBBR1MCS skeleton, and comprises sequences of a tetracycline repressor protein TetR, a tetracycline promoter Pzt-1 and an enhanced green fluorescent protein EGFP. The broad-host plasmid for inducible expression of green fluorescent protein has the characteristic of broad hosts, can be copied at least in escherichia coli bacteria, salmonella bacteria and brucella bacteria, but is not limited to the escherichia coli bacteria, the salmonella bacteria and the brucella bacteria. Bacteria containing the plasmid can induce host bacteria to emit green fluorescence under the induction condition of anhydrous tetracycline with specific concentration. The broad-host plasmid for inducible expression of green fluorescent protein has the advantages of versatility of multiple bacteria, controllable expression, specific tracing of viable bacteria, strong fluorescence and the like. The plasmid can be used for fluorescence labeling of various bacteria, bacterial morphological observation, fluorescence dynamic tracing and other technologies.
