Usage

This fusion protein is designed to degrade PET into terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol more powerfully. Compared to single Thc_Cut1, the rate of PET emzymolysis is supposed to be improved by Thc_Cut1-Janus fusion.

Biology

Thc_Cut1 is a kind of cutinase, the details of which can be seen at BBa_K1582028. Class II hydrophobins sJanus are small secreted fungal proteins which can be found in filamentous fungi, which play a role in a broad range of processes in the growth and development of filamentous fungi. Their assembly shows thread-like structure. They could be expressed in prokaryotic cells like E.coli.
According to some research, when Janus is added to the reaction of cutinase and plastics, the reaction rate is supposed to have an obvious improvement.
Based on the above background, we design to use the method of fusion protein to combine cutinase and Janus compactly, through the establishment of fusion protein, we can found if we can further promote the stimulation rate of the plastics degradation. Meanwhile, from the data about fusion protein, we can try to uncover the functional mechanism of the stimulation to the plastics degradation which is unknown until now.

Protein Expression

Protein pre-expression experimental conditions:
1.Transferred our correct plasmid into escherichia coli BL21 (DE3).
2.Select bacterial colony and add into LB, incubate at 37 centigrade for 7h. Add 4μl of IPTG to induce the expression of protein.
3.Incubate at 37 centigrade for 4h. The bacterial solution’s OD is 0.6-0.8.

Finally, the protein was expressed successfully.
We added 5μl of the bacterial restored into the LB containing 5μl of ampicillin to the final concentration of 1mM. And then, we incubated them in the shaker at the temperature of 37 centigrade, working for 14-16 hours.

Experimental conditions as follow:
1. Incubate at 37 centigrade, until OD ranges from 0.6-0.8(4-5h).
2. Incubate at 4 centigrade, 220rpm, for 30mins.
3. Add 1mL IPTG to the final concentration of 1mM.
4. Incubate at 16 centigrade for 12-16h.

The purification of protein:
We used eppendorf to make bacterial deposited, working at 4000rpm for 20min. Use 15mL MCAC0 to suspend bacterial.
After resuspending, we used high pressure to break the cells.
In order to get the recombinant protein with the higher purity, the recombinant protein was purified through Ni-chelating affinity chromatography.

The results are as follow:
