PETase site-directed mutant I208V

This is one of the site-directed mutant of the PETase gene, we change the 208th amino acid from I to V. The module is the Saccharomyces cerevisiae codon optimization version of PETase gene. We use overlap PCR to obtain this mutant.

Assay system—CFPS system

CFPS system

Cell-free protein synthesis(CFPS) is a widely used method in molecular biology. Production of proteins using cell-free protein synthesis usually takes a few hours, in contrast to production of proteins in cells, which typically takes days to weeks. In fact, even first-time users can often obtain newly synthesized proteins in one day using a commercial system.

The diversity of the cell-free systems allows in vitro synthesis of a wide range of proteins for a variety of downstream applications, such as screeening of enzymes activities. In the post-genomic era, cell-free protein synthesis has rapidly become the preferred approach for high-throughput functional and structural studies of proteins and a versatile tool for in vitro protein evolution and synthetic biology.[1]

Plasmid construction and expression in CFPS system

Ligaion of digested pRset_CFP-1, digested CFP gene and digested PETase(I208V) gene in accordance with the 1:5:5 molecular ratio. The newly constructed plasmid is called pRset_CFP-1_PETase-I208V. Than , the plasmids pRset_CFP-1_PETase-I208V was put into the CFPS(Cell-Free Protein Synthesis) to synthesis the enzymes we expected.

Degradation data

After the enzymes were expressed in the system successfully, we used the proteins we got to degrade PET and detected the degradation product, MHET, which has no other characteristic adsorption peak except in 260nm.

  • We detect the absorption peak of culture medium after culturing with PET film added for 5d. The absorption degree-wavelength curve is as follows.

  • We used the relative fluorescence units to represent the expression level of enzymes.

  • Finally we got the relative activities of enzymes.
