Subcloning of phospholipase C of Clostridium perfringens as fusion protein with green fluorescent protein
Description
The gene that codes for Clostridium perfringens phospholipase C was amplified to clone it into the plasmid vector pGEX, which has a sequence that codes for the green fluorescent protein. The recombinant plasmid was used to transform competent cells of Escherichia coli BL-21. The clones obtained were selected by the resistance to ampicillin conferred by the β -lactamase present in the plasmid. Later the clones were characterized to confirm in them the presence of the gene that codes for the phospholipase C of Clostridium perfringens. The production of the fusion protein Cp-PLC-GFP (phospholipase C from Clostridium perfringens-green fluorescent protein) was allowed by the clones, which, being marked, will be a useful tool in the determination of the intracellular transit pathway of this toxin and the target tissues of it.

El gen que codifica para la fosfolipasa C de Clostridium perfringens fue amplificado para clonarlo en el plasmido vector pGEX, el cual posee una secuencia que codifica para la proteina verde fluorescente. El plasmido recombinante fue utilizado para transformar celulas competentes de Escherichia coli BL-21. Los clones obtenidos fueron seleccionados mediante la resistencia a la ampicilina conferida por la β-lactamasa presente en el plasmido. Posteriormente los clones fueron caracterizados para confirmar en ellos la presencia del gen que codifica para la fosfolipasa C de Clostridium perfringens. La produccion de la proteina de fusion Cp-PLC-GFP (fosfolipasa C de Clostridium perfringens-proteina verde fluorescente) fue permitida por los clones, la cual al estar marcada, sera una herramienta util en la determinacion de la via de transito intracelular de esta toxina y los tejidos diana de la misma.
