Description

The SURE® System: Subtilin Regulated gene Expression

Bacillus subtilis is an attractive host for gram-positive bacteria as it is non-pathogenic, does not have significant bias in codon usage, and is capable of secreting functional extracellular proteins directly into the culture medium. It is used in a variety of applications, including agricultural, medical and food biotechnology and the production of recombinant proteins.

Controlled gene expression in B. subtilis is a cost-effective alternative to IPTG induced gene expression. This is achieved with the used of subtilin, a small peptide antibiotic of 32 amino acids produced by B. subtilis. Subtilin production and regulation is encoded in the chromosome by a cluster of 9 genes, which are transcribed from two promoters. Subtilin regulates/activates its own biosynthesis via a two-component regulatory system.

SURE System Vectors
  • pNZ8901 (PBS031) - SURE expression vector, PspaSmut, CmR; high promoter activity, but some leakage; suitable for the production of non-toxic proteins. 
  • pNZ8911 (PBS032) - SURE expression vector, PspaS, CmR; no promoter activity without subtilin induction, lower expression than PspaSmut; suitable for the production of potentially toxic proteins. 
  • pNZ8902 (PBS033) - SURE expression vector, PspaSmut, EmR; high promoter activity, but some leakage; suitable for the production of non-toxic proteins. 
  • pNZ8910 (PBS034) - SURE expression vector, PspaS, EmR; some promoter leakage without subtilin induction, caused by the vector; lower expression than pNZ8911.

Several B. subtilis strains specifically developed for the SURE system are available as well. Additionally, E. coli strain MC1061 can be used with the SURE system.
