Inducible (Episomal) LEXSY

The episomal inducible 4th generation of LEXSY makes use of amplification and oligomerisation of expression plasmids maintained extrachromosomally as self-replicating episomes in the LEXSY host cells, providing enhanced number of target gene copies for transcription by T7 RNA polymerase.

It was shown for a number of proteins, that the episomal inducible expression achieved 5 - 10-fold higher yields than integrative inducible expression. High expression strains are obtained by clonal selection and screening which is based on fluorescence intensity resulting from the co-expressed BleCherry, egfp or Ds-red genes. Primary screening on solid media can be performed in daylight since the colours are visible by eye.

 

Each kit contains:

  • pLEXSY_IE expression vector of choice
  • LEXSY host T7-TR as glycerol stocks
  • all components for preparation of 1 L LEXSY BHI medium
  • all selective antibiotics for 1 L medium
  • primer sets for insert sequencing
  • an easy-to-follow manual, see PDF file in "Downloads"

All components of the kit are available also separately.

We also provide all the molecular tools required for the construction of expression plasmids, such as
