X-Gal也稱5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-galactopyranoside或5-Bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl β-D-galactoside，中文名為5-溴-4-氯-3-吲哚-β-D-半乳糖苷。分子式為C14H15BrClNO6，分子量為408.63，CAS Number 7240-90-6，純度>99%。進口分裝。

本產(chǎn)品為白色至淺黃色粉末。

X-Gal是β-半乳糖苷酶(β-galactosidase)的顯色底物，在β-半乳糖苷酶的催化下會產(chǎn)生藍色產(chǎn)物。常用于β-半乳糖苷酶的原位染色檢測以及藍白斑篩選。

X-gal (also abbreviated BCIG for bromo-chloro-indolyl-galactopyranoside) is an organic compound consisting of galactose linked to a substituted indole. It is very heavily used in molecular biology.

Uses

Cloning

In gene cloning, X-gal is used to indicate whether a cell expresses the β-galactosidase enzyme, which is encoded by the lacZ gene, in a technique called blue/white screening.

X-gal is cleaved by β-galactosidase yielding galactose and 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-hydroxyindole. The latter is then oxidized into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'-dichloro-indigo, an insoluble blue product. Thus, if X-gal and an inducer of β-galactosidase (usually IPTG) is contained within an agar medium on a culture plate, colonies which have a functional lacZ gene can easily be distinguished.

When the technique of cloning plasmid vector genes within bacterial cells is optimal, X-gal is used to visually locate yeast or E. coli colonies that have been transformed by the desired plasmid vector in a blue-white screen. E. coli bacteria, which cannot produce the enzyme β-galactosidase (coded by lacZ gene of the lac operon), are transformed by absorbing the plasmid vectors, which contain an insert, in the lacZ open reading frame. After the transformation process, the bacteria is spread on nutrient agar plates, which mostly contain antibiotics as well. Most commercially available vectors contain an antibiotic-resistant gene. Successfully transformed bacteria has a truncated β-galactosidase gene, causing white colonies on the plate. Bacteria transformed by empty vectors, which do not contain an insert in the lacZ open reading frame, are now able to produce the enzyme β-galactosidase which can then cleave the X-gal present within the nutrient agar, resulting in a blue colony. Bacteria colonies that grow from bacteria that were not transformed do not contain this antibiotic-resistance, and thus, die. The plasmid vectors can also be coded to disrupt a different bacteria's ability to produce β-galactosidase, causing the desired bacteria colonies to grow to be white and non-transformed colonies to grow to be blue. This is the case with many commercially available cloning vectors, such as Promega's pGem-T Vectors, which carry lacZα, a truncated form of β-galactosidase, and require specific E. coli hosts a strain (such as DH5α) to achieve α-complementation.

Reporter

The lacZ gene may be used as a reporter in combination with growth media containing X-gal. In two-hybrid analysis for example, it is necessary to distinguish between those yeast or bacteria in which there is a successful interaction, leading to the binding of an activation domain to a promoter, and those in which there is not. If the promoter is linked to a lacZ gene, the production of β-galactosidase will be indicated by the production of blue pigment by colonies that host a successful interaction.[1] Due to its manual nature, this technique is limited to situations in which the number of colonies that must be distinguished is less than around 106.[1] The successful cleavage of X-gal also creates a noticeably foul odor due to the volatilization of indole.

Water testing

In addition to use in molecular biology, X-Gal is used to determine E. coli and coliform content in drinking water samples.

主要作用：異丙基硫代半乳糖苷(IPTG)是一種作用極強的誘導劑,不被細菌代謝而十分穩(wěn)定,因此被實驗室廣泛應用

IPTG是β–半乳糖苷酶的活性誘導物質(zhì)�；�于這個特性，當pUC系列的載體DNA（或其他帶有l(wèi)acZ 基因載體DNA）以lacZ 缺失細胞為宿主進行轉(zhuǎn)化時、或用M13噬菌體的載體DNA進行轉(zhuǎn)染時，如果在平板培養(yǎng)基中加入X–Gal和IPTG，由于β–半乳糖苷酶的α–互補性，可以根據(jù)是否呈現(xiàn)白色菌落（或噬菌斑）而方便地挑選出基因重組體。此外，它還可以作為具有l(wèi)ac或tac等啟動子的表達載體的表達誘導物使用。

Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside, abbreviated IPTG, is a molecular biology reagent.

This compound is used as a molecular mimic of allolactose, a lactose metabolite that triggers transcription of the lac operon. Unlike allolactose, the sulfur (S) atom creates a chemical bond which is non-hydrolyzable by the cell, preventing the cell from "eating up" or degrading the inductant; therefore the IPTG concentration remains constant. For induction, a sterile 1 M solution of IPTG is typically added by 1:1000 dilution into a logarithmically growing bacterial culture. Higher concentrations can be used.

IPTG induces the transcription of the gene coding for beta-galactosidase, a hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-galactosides into monosaccharides. One advantage of IPTG for in vivo studies is that since it cannot be metabolized by E. coli its concentration remains constant and the rate of expression of lac p/o-controlled genes, is not a variable in the experiment. IPTG intake is independent on the action of lactose permease, since other transport pathways are also involved.

In cloning experiments, colonies that have been transformed with the recombinant plasmid rather than a non-recombinant need to be identified. X-gal is a substance that can be metabolised by beta-galactosidase to produce a blue product. Thus cells expressing beta-galactosidase grown in the presence of X-gal and IPTG (to induce the expression) will turn blue. Where a DNA fragment has been inserted into the LacZ (one of the genes for beta-galactosidase) there will be no action upon X-gal and the cells will not turn blue, thus identifying the cells that carry recombinant plasmid rather than non-recombinant plasmid.

Many regulatory elements of the lac operon are used in inducible recombinant protein systems; IPTG is an effective inducer in the concentration range of 100 μM to 1.5 mM.
