Overproduction of Escherichia coli NusA protein.
The nusA gene of Escherichia coli has been cloned into the plasmid vector pKC30 under the control of the inducible lambda pL promoter. When a strain carrying this plasmid is induced, NusA protein is overproduced more than 100-fold and constitutes 20-30% of the total cellular protein. The NusA protein purified from this strain appears identical to authentic NusA protein in its migration on SDS polyacrylamide gels and on isoelectric focusing gels. It is also able to function properly in in vitro termination and antitermination assays and in its ability to bind to E. coli core RNA polymerase.
