Abstract: Genes lacZ,lacY and lacA in the lac opron of E.coli chromosome were respectively substituted with gene luc by using plasmid pBR322-Red, selection-counterselection system kan/sacB and various strategies of Red homologous recombination including Red mediated linearized double-stranded DNA homologous recombination and Red mediated recombineering with overlapping single stranded DNA oligonucleotides.Then, a series of new strains, CWL2,CWL4 and CWL6, were constructed and we found that they can express protein Luc efficiently. To further study the expression of exogenous genes at the site of lacZ, we have constructed a strain named CWD1 by knockin the cholera toxin B subunit(ctxb) gene at the lacZ site, then we found that CWD1 can express protein CTB efficiently and CTB was secreted out of the cell. So we assured that the sites of structure genes in the lac operon of Escherichia coli chromosome were suitable for expressing foreign genes .
