Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Expression System

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Expression System

Chlamydomonas has the characteristics of simple structure, easy culture, clear genetic background, edible and endotoxin-free, which is a potential foreign protein expression system. At present, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has become the most mature expression system in eukaryotic microalgae.  

Creative BioMart has established a mature Chloroplast Expression System of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii after many years of effort. We have taken over hundreds of expression cases and successfully expressed a variety of reporter genes, medicinal proteins, and enzymes for our clients.

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Expression System

Technology and Service Description

The expression protocol we developed was based on the chloroplast of Chlamydomonas. The whole method of genetic transformation is similar to plant genetic transformation. In order to obtain transgenic cell lines, foreign genes are introduced into the chloroplasts of algae by particle bombardment.

Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Expression System

Specifically, our service process mainly includes:

Service Name Service Description
Expression strategy design Client provides the target sequence and expression strategy designed referring to customers' requirements and protein properties
Codon optimization and gene synthesis (1 week) Optimize the codon in order to improve protein yield significantly
Use PCR to amplify the target fragment and link it to the expression vector
Construction of the expression cell strain (2 weeks)
  • Vector is bombarded with gene gun;
  • The bombarded Chlamydomonas cells are coated on the medium containing antibiotics
  • The first transformants that appeared on the resistant medium are transferred to liquid medium
Protein expression, evaluation and optimization (1 week)
  • Through continuous screening from the resistant medium, the transformants with high expression of homogenized recombinant protein are isolated.
  • A large number of transformants with high expression of recombinant protein are cultured in liquid medium;
Scale-up and protein purification (2-3 weeks) We will scale up your protein expression using optimized conditions. After multistep protein purification, the protein purity will be >90%
Deliverable
  • Cloning vector
  • QC data
  • Final report
  • >90% purity
  • Quantity as per customer requirements (≥3 mg soluble proteins)

Why Choose Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Chloroplast Expression System

  • The use of Chlamydomonas as an expression system not only makes up for the shortcomings of other bioreactors, but also has other advantages, such as
  • The chloroplast of Chlamydomonas can fold and assemble complex mammalian proteins correctly
  • It takes a short time from genetic transformation to protein synthesis
  • Exogenous genes can be integrated into the chloroplast genome of Chlamydomonas and expressed stably in offspring
  • The chloroplast genome of Chlamydomonas has the characteristics of small molecular weight, simple structure and no binding histone. It is helpful to realize molecular operations.
  • Chlamydomona is edible and more convenient and safe
