Functional Parameters

The optimization of Lcp1VH2 expression system

In previous studies, we have discovered that lcp1VH2 was usually inserted into the pET23a plasmid and subsequently transferred into the C41 strain for expression. We tried that approach, but the bands of lcp1VH2 were indistinguishable and could not tell whether it was expressed in E. coli C41.

In order to obtain a viable expression system, we tested four expression protocols using existing strains on hand (E.coli C41 and E.coli BL21) with vectors (pet23a and pet28a): E.coli C41 pET23a:: Lcp1VH2, E.coli C41 pET28a:: Lcp1VH2, E. coli BL21 pET23a:: Lcp1VH2, E. coli BL21 pET28a:: Lcp1VH2 and E. coli BL21 pET28a:: cp1VH. coli BL21 pET23a:: Lcp1VH2 and E. coli BL21 pET28a:: Lcp1VH2. as shown in Fig1, we can see that E. coli BL21 pET23a:: Lcp1VH2 is the best system for Lcp1VH2 expression: compared to the control, we can see a clear induction band and the Lcp1VH2 expression and water solubility were excellent.

Part Improvement

From LcpK30(Part: BBa_K181900) ,
The team Brasil-USP designed the part LcpK30(Part: BBa_K181900) in 2015, which is a 42kDa enzyme extracted from actinomycete Streptomyces sp. strain K30.In this year, we improved the pre-existing Lcp(LcpK30) by adding new characterization data for it and designing a new Lcp type- Lcp1VH2, Lcp1VH2 has performed better  expression and 

enzyme activity compared to LcpK30.

Expression characterization

In order to compare LcpK30 and Lcp1VH2, 

we tested two proteins using E.coli BL21 with plasmid pET23a:: Lcp1VH2 (C.2 & S.2 presented on figure 1) and pET23a:: LcpK30 (C.3 & S.3 presented on figure 1). From the SDS-Page result in fig.2, Lcp1VH2 expressed a clear and distinct band at 42 kDa, while the band trace of LcpK30 at the same position was obviously much weaker in comparison, indicating that its expression was much inferior to that of Lcp1VH2.

Enzyme activity verification

The process for Lcp to degrade rubber requires oxygen consumption. It utilizes the process of β oxidation to break down bonds within polyisoprene. During β oxidation, Lcp adds two oxygen molecules in between the chemical bonds of polyisoprene. The oxygen consumption rate in the sample tube represents the enzyme activity of Lcp1VH2

As shown from the oxygen dissolving results below, the initial dissolved oxygen in the sample is about 8.5 mg/l. After 6 hours, the dissolved oxygen in the sample tube (Supernatant containing Lcp1VH2) creates a downward slope , The value dropped to approximately 0mg/l eventually. In the sample tube containing LcpK30, oxygen was consumed at a slower rate, and after 9.5 hours, oxygen was roughly depleted. However, the dissolved oxygen in the control tube(Supernatant only of BL21) slowly drops to 6mg/l after 24 hours.

This indicates that the LCP1VH2 protein has a higher enzymatic activity.
