Human Cell-Free Protein Expression  System and Vectors

The Human Cell-Free Protein Expression System from Takara Bio is an easy to use system for in vitro transcription and translation. The single-tube reaction is easily assembled and protein synthesis is complete in as little as 1 h at 32°C. The Human Cell-Free Protein Expression System provides high yield (e.g., 50 µg/ml of human eIF4G) of functional protein, including proteins requiring modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, or fatty acylation and even with large proteins (over 150 kDa). Genes of interest may be cloned rapidly into pT7-IRES vectors using In-Fusion cloning technology. After expression, proteins with N-terminal or C-terminal His tag or N-terminal Myc tag can be generated, depending on choice of vector.  Bulk sizes are available for high-throughput studies; contact takaracustom@clontech.com for more information.

In vitro translation has many advantages for protein expression: it is excellent for rapid studies of protein function or features, amenable to high-throughput studies, useful for proteins that are degraded or insoluble with in vivo systems, and can be used to generate lethal proteins that cannot be expressed using in vivo systems due to toxicity. In vitro translation systems also allow post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, phosphorylation, and fatty acylation.

Features

  • Easy-to-use system allows generation of protein in as little as 1 h in a single-tube reaction
  • Provides higher yield of functional protein and greater consistency than rabbit reticulocyte or wheat germ in vitro translation systems
  • Excellent with challenging proteins such as large proteins (over 150 kDa) and proteins requiring post-translational modification
  • Amenable to high-throughput screening; bulk sizes available

Applications

  • Expression of toxic proteins that are lethal to host cells of in vivo expression systems
  • Rapid analysis of protein function
  • Rapid analysis of mutation series or truncation series: generate protein quickly and assess functionality using your downstream assay
  • High-throughput proteomic studies
  • Expression of proteins that are easily degraded or insoluble in conventional in vivo expression systems such as E. coli
  • High-throughput proteomic studies

Components

Human Cell-Free Protein Expression System

Cell Lysate100 µL
Mixture-160 µL
Mixture-210 µL
Mixture-320 µL
T7 RNA Polymerase (200 U/µL)10 µL
pT7 IRES Vector (0.5 µg/µL)20 µL
Control Vector (0.3 µg/µL)10 µL

Notes:

  • Dissolve Cell Lysate just prior to use, mix gently by pipetting, and use immdiately. After use, store promptly at -80°C. Although up to five freeze-thaw cycles should not affect performance, store the Cell Lysate in aliquots of the desired volume.
  • Mixture-2 and Mixture-3 contain protein. To avoid deactivation, do not stir excessively or vortex.
  • The Control Vector contains a beta-galactosidase gene cassette.
  • The pT7 IRES Vector included in the kit does not encode fusion tags. Vectors encoding a His-tag or c-myc tag are sold separately.

pT7-IRES Vectors

Each vector (Cat. #s 3290, 3291, 3292) provides 20 µg DNA at a concentration of 0.5 µg/µL (40 µL total volume).

Storage

    Human Cell-Free Protein Expression System (Cat. # 3281): –80°C
    pT7-IRES Vectors (Cat. #s 3290, 3291, 3292): –20°C

pT7-IRES Vector information

Vectors in the pT7-IRES series include a T7 promoter and EMCV IRES sequence to facilitate transcription and translation in the Human Cell-Free Protein Expression System, as well as a Multiple Cloning Site (MCS), convenient tags (N- or C-terminal His tag or Myc tag sequences), a Factor Xa protease cleavage site for tag removal, polyA signal, and T7 terminator.

  • pT7-IRES His-N DNA (Cat. # 3290) encodes an N-terminal His tag
  • pT7-IRES His-C DNA (Cat. # 3291) encodes a C-terminal His tag
  • pT7-IRES Myc-N DNA (Cat. # 3292) encodes an N-terminal c-Myc tag
