overview | isopropyl thiogalactoside (IPTG) is a very strong inducer, which is not metabolized by bacteria and is very stable, so it is widely used in laboratories. IPTG is often used in cloning experiments requiring induction of β-galactosidase activity. It is often used in combination with X-Gal or Bluo-Gal for blue-white screening of recombinant bacterial colonies, which can induce the expression of lac operon in Escherichia coli. IPTG binds to lacI repressor protein and changes its conformation to play a role in preventing the inhibition of the β-galactosidase encoding gene lacZ. |
principle of induction | The lactose operon (element) of E.coli contains three structural genes Z, Y and A, which encode galactosidase, peroxidase and acetyltransferase respectively. In addition, there is a manipulation sequence O, a starting sequence P and a regulatory gene I. The I gene encodes a repressor protein that binds to the O sequence, causing the operon (element) to be repressed and turned off. There is also a catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) binding site upstream of the priming sequence P. The regulatory region of lac operon is composed of P sequence, O sequence and CAP binding site. The coding genes of the three enzymes are regulated by the same regulatory region to realize the coordinated expression of gene products. When there is no lactose, the lac operon (element) is in a repressive state. At this time, the Lac repressor protein expressed by the I sequence under the manipulation of the PI start sequence binds to the O sequence, preventing the RNA polymerase from binding to the P sequence and inhibiting the transcription start. When lactose is present, the lac operon (element) can be induced. In this operon (meta) system, the real inducer is not lactose itself. Lactose enters the cell and is catalyzed by β-galactosidase and converted into isolactose. As an inducer, the latter molecule binds to the repressor protein to change the conformation of the protein, leading to the dissociation and transcription of the repressor protein from the O sequence. The effect of isopropyl thiogalactoside (IPTG) is the same as that of isolactose. It is a very strong inducer, which is not metabolized by bacteria and is very stable, so it is widely used in laboratories. |
advantages of IPTG | 1. molecules that can induce enzyme synthesis but are not decomposed are called comfort inducers. Although lactose can induce the synthesis of enzymes, it decomposes with it, resulting in many complex kinetic problems. Therefore, people often use comfort inducers to carry out various experiments. 2.IPTG is not metabolized by bacteria and is a lactose analog. Once it enters the cell, it will produce a long-term induction effect. Therefore, the induction efficiency of IPTG is high, and only a small amount (1mmol/L) is needed to achieve the ideal induction effect. Since IPTG is not metabolized, it specifically induces the expression of foreign proteins in the cell. Not affected by cell metabolism, the induction effect is stable. Lactose has a double effect. It can be used as a precursor of the inducer iso-lactose and a carbon source. During the induction process, it is very unstable. IPTG is suitable for experimental research due to its excellent stability. 3.IPTG can be effectively copied in the absence of lacY gene. 4. In the galactoside bond, sulfur is used instead of oxygen and the hydrolysis activity is lost. However, the affinity of thiogalactoside and homologous oxygen compounds are the same as the enzyme site. Although IPTG is not recognized by β-galactosidase, it is a very effective inducer of lac gene cluster. usage: IPTG is first prepared into a 23.83 mg/ml(100 mM) aqueous solution, filtered and sterilized and stored. Then, 100 μl of the above solution, 200 μl of X-Gal(20 mg/ml of dimethylformamide (DMF) solution) and 100 μl of Amp(100 mg/ml) were added to 100 ml of agar medium to prepare IPTG, X-Gal and Amp plate medium. When dna fragments are inserted into pUC series vectors (or other vectors with lacZ and Amp genes) and then transformed into lacZ deletion cells, the above IPTG, X-Gal and Amp plate culture media can be coated to conveniently select gene recombinants (white is gene recombinants with DNA insertion fragments) according to the blue-white color of the bacteria. |
