IPTG inductible promotor RBS (strong) HmaS

Usage and Biology

HmaS is used in the metabolic pathway shown in figure 1 to produce benzyl alcohol. HmaS catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of phenylpyruvate to produce (S)Mandelate.

Figure 1 Metabolic pathway to produce benzyl alcohol

Production

We producted HmaS in E.coli DH5alpha, with 1mm IPTG at OD 0.8, 3 hours

Figure 2 SDS-PAGE of HmaS production with induction (2, 3 and) 4, without induction ( 1,NI) and with empty plasmid (5)

We see overproduction of HmaS of approximatively 37kDa, that's correspond to molecular wheigt of HmaS. Nonetheless, our inducible promotor is not perfect, and there is basal production of HmaS. Moreover negative control is correct, there is noprodution of HmaS with empty plasmid

Purification

We tried to purify Hmas with Akta pure (GE healthcare) by exchange ion column. We used to eluate 60mL of Tampon B (1M NaCl and Tris 20mM) with gradient of 0 to 100%, figure 3.

Figure 3 Elution of HmaS after purification by exchange ion column performed by Akta

We can see 3 spikes in the elution graph because exchange in chromatography is not a perfect technique to isolate protein. So we decided to do SDS-PAGE (figure 4a and 4b)

Figure 4a SDS-PAGE of eluate after purifiction L. Ladder , 1'X, 2', X ,3' ,4' 5' 3,8,9 and 10 elution samples

Figure4 4b SDS-PAGE of eluate after purifiction L. Ladder 11 to 24 elution sample

We can see a big spot at approxomatively 37kDa, that's may correspond to HmaS. Nevertheless samples are not pure, others proteins are with HmaS. HmaS is on fractions 8 to 17, that's correspon to second spike on figure 3
