A dual prokaryotic (E. coli) expression system (pdMAX).
In this study, we introduced an efficient subcloning and expression system with two inducible prokaryotic expression promoters, arabinose and lac, in a single plasmid in Escherichia coli. The arabinose promoter unit allows for the expression of a FLAG-tagged protein, while the isopropyl-β-D-thiogala...

In this study, we introduced an efficient subcloning and expression system with two inducible prokaryotic expression promoters, arabinose and lac, in a single plasmid in Escherichia coli. The arabinose promoter unit allows for the expression of a FLAG-tagged protein, while the isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG)-inducible unit allows for the expression of a Myc-tagged protein. An efficient subcloning (DNA insertion) system (iUnit) follows each promoter. The iUnit, based on a toxin that targets DNA topoisomerase of E. coli, allows for effective selection with arabinose or IPTG induction. With the dual promoter plasmid (pdMAX) system, expressed lacZ (β-galactosidase) activity was significantly decreased compared with the original solo expression system. Despite this disadvantage, we believe that the pdMAX system remains useful. A recombinant plasmid (pdMAX/ara/DsRed/IPTG/EGFP; pdMAX/DsRed/EGFP) with DsRed in the arabinose expression unit and EGFP in the IPTG expression unit showed fluorescent protein expression following additional low-temperature incubation.
