Scheme for construction of the hydrogenase 1 expression vector. Full-length hya operon was cloned into pGEM-T to generate (A) pGemT-EcH3, and two subunit genes (hyaA &hyaB) comprising the core enzyme cloned into pET-21b and pTrcHisC expression vectors to generate (B) pET-EcHAB for the analysis of hydrogen production in recombinant BL21 and (C) pTrc-EcH1ABHis for the analysis of protein expression with His6-tag, respectively. His6-tag was fused to each subunit gene in pTrc-EcH1ABHis for facile purification of hydrogenase (Refer to Materials and Methods for scheme of His6-tag fusion).
