ScGS with a His-tag
Geosmin synthase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) (ScGS) is a single 726-amino acid protein which catalyzes the Mg2+ dependent conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to a mixture including geosmin. A 6×His tag is added in its C-terminal to make it accessible for Ni-NTA purification.
Usage and Biology
The ScGS is a bifunctional sesquiterpene cyclase, with the presence of Mg2+, the N-terminal half of this protein catalyzes the ionization and cyclization of farnesyl diphosphate to form germacradienol and inorganic pyrophosphate(PPi). Then the C-terminal domain, highly homologous with the former, catalyzes the protonation, cyclization, and fragmentation of germacradienol to form geosmin and acetone.

Functional Parameters
To obtain the protein, pET-28a(+)-ScGS(with His-tag) was transferred into E.coli BL21(DE3), and the cells were inoculated in 25 mL cultures of LB medium with 10 μg/mL kanamycin. These cultures were grown at 37℃ with 250 rpm shaking until the OD600 reached 0.5-0.8, then 0.3 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG) were added, following by an overnight cultivation at 16℃ with 250 rpm shaking to induce protein expression. The washed and harvested cells were resuspended with a Binding Buffer, and then the cells were lysed by ultrasonication. Purification was performed according to the protocol of Ni-NTA SefinoseTM Resin (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). As it shows in the following figure(Figure 1.), the existence of ScGS with a 6×His tag in our chasis was proved by SDS-PAGE analysis.
