Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Enzymology

Background:

  • Helicobacter pylori possesses catalase, an enzyme crucial for its survival in the host stomach.
  • Understanding and harnessing H. pylori catalase activity can have implications in various biotechnological applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a recombinant strain for high-level expression of H. pylori catalase.
  • To quantify the enzymatic activity of the expressed H. pylori catalase.

Main Methods:

  • Catalase gene amplification from H. pylori using PCR.
  • Cloning into the pET-22b (+) prokaryotic expression vector.
  • Transformation into BL21 (DE3) E. coli for protein expression and activity assay.

Main Results:

  • Successful amplification and cloning of H. pylori catalase gene.
  • High expression of recombinant catalase in E. coli BL21 (DE3) reaching 24.4% of total bacterial protein after IPTG induction.
  • Significant H. pylori catalase activity detected in the recombinant E. coli strain.

Conclusions:

  • A recombinant E. coli clone capable of high-activity H. pylori catalase expression was successfully constructed.
  • This work provides a valuable platform for further investigation and application of H. pylori catalase.
