BL21(DE3) ΔserB Chemically Competent E.coli Cells for Phosphoserine Incorporation
BL21(λDE3) ΔserB is an engineered strain for specific co-translational O-phospho-L-serine incorporation in a protein by an Escherichia coli. To prevent possible enzymatic dephosphorylation of O-phospho-L-serine (Sep) in vivo, the gene encoding phosphoserine phosphatase (serB), which catalyzes the last step in serine biosynthesis, was deleted from Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3).
BL21(λDE3) ΔserB chemically competent E.coli cells are supplied as a pack of 10 convenient 100 μl/tube aliquots. The transformation efficiency is ≥ 1x106 cfu/μg pBR322 plasmid DNA.
E. coli genotype: fhuA2 [lon] ompT gal (λ DE3) [dcm] ∆hsdS ΔserB
[λ DE3 = λ sBamHIo ∆EcoRI-B int::(lacI::PlacUV5::T7 gene1) i21 ∆nin5]
