Are you asking about the transcription factors that are involved?

The gene is a sequence of DNA either within a plasmid or in the E. coli genome.
The gene is DNA and is transcribed into mRNA by RNA polymerase by complimentary base pairing.
A ribosome 'reads' the mRNA and translates it into protein. Every 3 bases on the mRNA will encode an amino acid until a 'stop codon' is reached at which the ribosome, nascent amino acid chain and mRNA will dissociate.
The amino acid chain starts folding whilst it is being translated (in most cases).
I could go into more detail if you wish or you could lookup transcription and translation.

The same way that all cells do, by reading the information carried in mRNA molecules and translating this genetic information into protein information.

The e-coli has got 2 types of dna,one which is called the plasmid.the plasmid is solely responsible for genetic variation.When the gene is introduced into this it produces the particular protien.

it follows the central dogma....dna to mrna to proteins...
transcription....this is the synthesis of mrna with dna as template....uses nucleotides....
translation...this is the protein synthesis....with mrna as template....adds amino acids accordin to the codon....
