H2O2 causes human CRYAB proteins to aggregate. The expected size for CRYAB (yellow asterisk) is 20 kDa and 21 kDa for CRYAB-HIS (blue asterisk). Adding H2O2 results in a decrease of the original bands at 20 and 21 kDa, and an increase in larger proteins (blue bracket).

Strong promoter + Strong RBS + GSR + 10x Histidine tag + Double terminator

BBa_K880005 consists of a strong promoter and strong RBS and was used to maximize protein production. This construct codes for GSR (glutathione reductase) and a 10x Histidine-tag. GSR is a catalyst for the conversion of glutathione disulfide to glutathione and 10x Histidine-tag is used for protein purification. BBa__B0015 is a double terminator used to stop transcription.

Sequencing

We set up PCR to check if the DNA have the expected bands. We saw the bands at their expected size, which is ~2.1kb. The DNA was then sent to sequencing. The sequencing results are unable to confirm the sequence from 854 to 895 bp.

  • The four cutting sites are highlighted in red
  • BBa_K880005 is highlighted in light blue
  • GSR is highlighted in orange
  • 10x Histidine-Tag in highlighted in green
  • BBa_B0015 is highlighted in dark blue.

Although 854 to 895 bp of GSR is not confirmed in the two files provided here, this GSR DNA comes from BBa_K880005. From the sequencing file uploaded in (https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1898200), 854 to 895 bp of the GSR gene is confirmed to be correct.


Protein Gel

We ran a protein gel after lysing the CRYAB-HIS construct and just promoter + RBS + CRYAB. The SDS page is shown below:

H2O2 causes human CRYAB proteins to aggregate. The expected size for CRYAB (yellow asterisk) is 20 kDa and 21 kDa for CRYAB-HIS (blue asterisk). Adding H2O2 results in a decrease of the original bands at 20 and 21 kDa, and an increase in larger proteins (blue bracket). CRYAB and CRYAB-HIS both increased in size after adding H2O2, suggesting that the addition of a 10x Histidine-tag does not affect the expected behavior for oxidative stress.


Protein Purification

We wanted to purify the protein using the commercial Capturem His-Tagged Purification Miniprep Kit. There was no protein present in the elutant, so we measured the protein concentration in the flowthrough after lysates were run through the nickel column. The difference between CRYAB-HIS and CRYAB protein concentration in their flowthrough shows that the his tag does bind to the nickel column.
