| Summary: | The Twin Arginine Translocation (TAT) extracellular protein delivery system in bacteria can
translocate proteins in the optimal folding conformation. In Bacillus subtilis, there is a TATAdCd
protein that was developed for usage in Escherichia coli for the delivery of genetically modified
proteins with intracellular folding issues. Antibiotic resistance genes on plasmids are extensively
utilized as selection markers in recombinant DNA production. The existence of different antibiotic
selection markers allows several plasmids to be inserted into the same host cell. This study aimed
to construct recombinant plasmids carrying TATAdCd protein-encoding gene and the addition of
tetracycline-resistant gene selection markers. The TATAdCd protein-encoding gene in
pTA_TATAdCd WT and the tetracycline-resistant gene in pBR322 was isolated and cloned into
pET16b. The constructed plasmids were named as pET16b_TATAdCd, pET16b_TetR, and
pET16b_TATAdCd_TetR and confirmed at the DNA and protein levels. At the DNA level, the
constructed plasmids were confirmed by migration analysis, restriction analysis, Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), and DNA sequencing. At the protein level, the expression of TATAdCd protein was
proved by the overproduction of TATAdCd protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3) host cells, and the protein
was characterized by SDS-PAGE Tris-Glycine. Expression of tetracycline-resistant genes was
demonstrated by growing E. coli DH5? carrying plasmids pET16b_TetR and
pET16b_TATAdCd_TetR on Luria Bertani agar medium containing tetracycline. In this study, the
expression of TATAd and TATCd proteins could not be observed on Tris-Glycine SDS-PAGE, while
the tetracycline-resistant gene was successfully expressed because the recombinant E. coli could
grow in tetracycline selection media.
