Design

alpha mannosidase primer:
  Since the mngB comes directly from E. coli substrain MG1655, we have designed a primer to clone from the whole genome of MG1655. The primer we use is listed below:

primer sequence whole primer temp. binding part temp. GC%
forward: ctg GAATTCGCGGCCGCTTCTAG atgAAAGCAGTATCTCGCGTTCACATCACCCCG 76℃ 68℃ 55%
reverse: gga CTGCAGCGGCCGCTACTAGTA tcaGGCAAGCCGGTAACTGAACGTCCG 76℃ 68℃ 58%

Mannosidase function test

  After cloning mngB gene into E. coli, it is a must to know whether our part is well-constructed and well perform. Therefore, we decide to extract alpha-mannosidase from the cytoplasm of E. coli, and test its function by directly interact with 2-O-(6-phospho-α-D-mannosyl)-D-glycerate. With the aid of HPLC, we can evidently realize whether our part is able to turn it into α-D-mannose-6-phosphate and D-glycerate.   

  Experimental process is listed below:

1.Use Continuous High Pressure Cell Disrupter to crush the E. coli that produce alpha-mannosidase
2.Filter the product and save the filtrate in a eppendorf
3.Add 2-O-(6-phospho-α-D-mannosyl)-D-glycerate into an eppendorf
4.Incubate at 25℃ for 30 min.
5.Run HPLC and compare it with the two standard line of only 2-O-(6-phospho-α-D-mannosyl)-D-glycerate and with only the extraction liquid of E. coli cytoplasm
6.Compare the area of the data lines with the area of the standard line to calculate the efficiency of the alpha-mannosidase produced by E. coli
