Overview

The TU Dresden 2019 team designed this fusion protein in order to increase the expression of HRP. For creating this fusion protein, the RFC 25 standard was used (more information).

HRP was inserted into the pSB1C3 vector for transformation and expressed with pOCC97 (BBa_K3037000) in Escherichia coli.

The HRP was made from BBa_K1800002and adapted to the Freiburg RFC25 standard.

Biology

The metalloenzyme horseradishperoxidase (HRP) is widely used in many biochemical and immunological applications. This enzyme on its own does not give any visual readout, but however, upon addition of a suitable substrate, HRP oxidizes this substrate and yields a colour change and this can be spectrophotometrically analysed. One such common example for chromogenic substrate is TMB (3,3',5,5'-Tetramethylbenzidine) which is oxidized by HRP. Additionally, an advantage of using HRP includes its stability and small size, which results in the reduced interference during the conjugation reactions such as for secondary antibody-HRP conjugation. Moreover, it is economical in comparison with other alternative enzymes like the alkaline phosphatase.

MBP is a well-established, reliable protein-tag that is meant to increase the solubility of the proteins it is fused to. Therefore it limits the risk of accumulation of over expressed recombinant protein in inclusion bodies and increases the total protein yield. It can also improve expression of difficult enzymes like Cas9. It can further be used to purify proteins via affinity chromatography in amylose resin.[1]

NOTE: Please be aware, that by combining all the basic parts used for this composite part, the registry automatically inserted a RFC23 scar. However, the design and our cloning strategy is based on RFC25.
