Isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is a molecular biology reagent. This compound is a molecular mimic of allolactose , a lactose metabolite that triggers transcription of the lac operon , and it is therefore used to induce protein expression where the gene is under the control of the lac operator .
Once enough IPTG is added, the T7 gene is normally transcribed and so transcription of the gene of interest downstream of the T7 promoter also begins. [6] Expression of a recombinant protein under the control of the T7 promoter is 8x faster than protein expression under the control of E. coli RNA polymerase. [7]
The tac promoter is, therefore, inducible by IPTG (Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside), whilst also allowing higher maximum gene expression than either the lac or trp promoters. This makes it suitable for high-efficiency protein production of a recombinant protein. [ 1 ]
While E. coli BL21(DE3) supports the expression of genes under the control of constitutive promoters, it is specifically engineered for IPTG induction of recombinant genes under the control of a T7 promoter. The realized induction strength depends on several factors, including the IPTG concentration and the timing of its supplementation. [5]
pHT01 is a plasmid used as a cloning vector for expressing proteins in Bacillus subtilis.It is 7,956 base pairs in length. [1] pHT01 carries Pgrac, an artificial, strong, IPTG-inducible promoter consisting of the Bacillus subtilis groE promoter, a lac operator, and the gsiB ribosome binding site.

IPTG, a molecule similar to lactose, but with a sulfur bond that is not hydrolyzable so that E. coli does not digest it, is used to activate or "induce" the production of the new protein. Once the cells are induced, it is difficult to remove IPTG from the cells and therefore it is difficult to stop expression.
