CcaBURP2 core peptide

QLLVW is a peptide that can be cyclised by BURP domain protein from eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis (BBa_K4620007), forming stephanotic acid. This side chain macrocyclisation reaction is catalysed by copper (II) ions. Cyclisation happens between the Cβ of leucine and indole cycle 6- position of tryptophan residue. As of this day, mechanism of this reaction has not been fully characterised.

In the nature, QLLVW is conjugated to the N-terminal domain of Cca-BURP. iGEM 2023 team Latvia-Riga produced this peptide separately in order to make trans-cyclisation reaction where the cyclisation substrate is not attached to the catalytic domain.

Obtained plasmid was transformed into T7 Express competent E. coli cells and plated on LB agar plate containing ampicillin. One colony was inoculated, at OD600 = 0.8 protein expression was induced using 0.2 mM IPTG. Expression was carried out overnight at 18 oC. Protein was purified with Ni-NTA chromatography in 8 M urea-containing buffer and refolded after chromatography. Refolding was carried out overnight at 4oC. Folded protein was applied to HiLoad 16/600 75 pg chromatography column. <"picture2.jpg" >
