Explanation / Answer

Answer
Expression vector: It is a shuttle loaded with desired fragment and transformed into its host where the desire fragment is expressing.
Cloning of desire fragment
Amplification or isolation: Desired locus is isolated from streptococcus. A locus specific primer is designed and analyse its physicochemical properties. Then after using DNA of streptococcus as template and also Forward and Reverse primer (locus specific) a PCR reaction started with 950C five minutes, continue 30 cycle with 950C for 40sec-55 to 65oC for 30 sec – 72oC for 35sec, at last 72oC for 10 min it is an extension step then stored the sample at 4oC till run on agrose gel
Gel elution
Amplified product further run on agarose gel and eluted from the gel using gel elution kit or also done this step using manually prepared solution.
Cloning
Eluted product was used to clone in expression vector at MCS (multiple cloning site) either blunt end cloning if using blunt end cutting restriction enzyme or double digestion when both the end of a sample contain restriction site. Then ligate the segment into expression vector.
Transformation
Ligated vector is used for further transformation in E.coli for that heat shock method is used in which E.coli cell treated with calcium chloride and then heat-cold cycle is applied for 1min -1.30 min
Transformed gene fragment is expressed in E.coli cell and give rise to the functional protein(enzyme). Then use of different-different methods for the isolation mad proteins.e.g ion exchange,
