The cDNA encoding human Cu/Zn SOD was amplified by RT-PCR using the total RNA of human liver as the template, and was cloned into an E. coli expression vector pET23b. After the DNA sequence was determined, the recombinant plasmid pET23bsod was introduced into E. coli BL21(DE3)/pLysS. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that the recombinant E. coli expressed the predicted 19 kDa human Cu/Zn SOD, and its amount was over 50% of total proteins. The Cu/Zn SOD cDNA was then subcloned into a lactococcal expression vector pMG36e, and resulting pMG36esod was introduced into L. lactis MG1363 by electroporation. The human Cu/Zn-SOD was expressed up to 5% of the soluble proteins, and the enzymatic activity was also observed by SOD activity dying.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D013294 Lactococcus lactis A non-pathogenic species of LACTOCOCCUS found in DAIRY PRODUCTS and responsible for the souring of MILK and the production of LACTIC ACID. Streptococcus lactis,Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis
D013482 Superoxide Dismutase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reaction between SUPEROXIDES and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide.
