PCR amplification and cloning of six target genes from Burkholderia pseudomallei
Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) is an aerobic Gram negative bacteria and a causative agent of melioidosis, a disease endemic in several regions worldwide including Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Melioidosis can be fatal in human, where it causes fever and is commonly present...

| description | Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei) is an aerobic Gram negative
bacteria and a causative agent of melioidosis, a disease endemic in several
regions worldwide including Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.
Melioidosis can be fatal in human, where it causes fever and is commonly
present with pneumonia, with or without septicaemia. Treating melioidosis is
a challenge, due to its intrinsic resistance to many antibiotics, and
occurrence of latent infection. This study is part of a larger project to purify
and characterise target proteins from B. pseudomallei to gain fundamental
knowledge on how this bacterium behaves, and thus providing us strategies
to combat them. In this report, six target genes predicted to be essential by
Transposon-Directed Insertion site Sequencing (TraDIS) technique were
selected for PCR amplification and cloning trials. Out of the six target genes,
three genes encode for hypothetical proteins (BPSL0084, BPSL0086, and
BPSL1060), two genes encode for putative annotated protein (BPSL0398
and BPSL1192) and one gene (BPSL1549) encodes for B. pseudomallei
lethal factor 1. Genomic DNA of B. pseudomallei strain D286 and K96243 is
obtained from School of Biosciences & Biotechnology, UKM. All six target
genes were successfully amplified. Sufficient concentration of purified attBPCR
products for all target genes was obtained after nested PCR. This is
then utilized in the BP recombination reactions to create the entry clones.
The entry clones were transformed into Escherichia coli (E. coli) DH5α™
competent cells and plated onto LB agar plate supplemented with 50 µg/mL
kanamycin. The positive clones were screened using colony PCR and BsrGI
restriction enzyme digestion. At the time of writing, three target genes were
successfully cloned and validated by sequencing. In future projects, the
entry clones can then be easily transferred into various expression vectors
to be expressed and purified for diverse functional protein studies. |
