         Collagen of the C-D-E-VP4 complex (in a 1:1:1 ratio) was diluted to a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour before undergoing native-PAGE and SEC analysis. As illustrated in Figure 4, the samples were divided into two distinct clusters: high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight states. Each cluster contained multiple bands, indicative of varying degrees of proline hydroxylation. Based on the construct design, we hypothesized that the high-molecular-weight clusters represented the trimer assemblies, while the low-molecular-weight clusters corresponded to the monomers. This hypothesis was confirmed by the SEC analysis, as depicted in Figure 4. The peaks for the C-D-E-VP4 complex also ranged from 0.5 to 0.8 CV, with the prominent peaks at 0.56 CV and 0.66 CV, indicating the presence of trimer and monomer macromolecules.

BBa_K5531010 (pET-Dual-HisRh3C-P15VP4-P4H)

Construction Design

This targeted gene, Rh3C-P15VP4 (BBa_K5531000), synthesized by a biotech company, contains humanized type III collagen fused with the VP4 protein from the rotavirus with serotype P15. Meanwhile, P4H (BBa_K5531012) is also co-expressed in this plasmid due to the lack of proline hydroxylation-modifying enzymes (prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4H)) in procaryotes, which is essential for collagen stability. The pET-Dual-N-His-TEV (BBa_K5531006) serves as the vector. The homologous recombination method was employed to construct pET-Dual-HisRh3C-P15VP4-P4H (BBa_K5531010).

Experimental Approach

We isolated pET-Dual-N-His-TEV vectors from bacterial solutions primarily by centrifugation. The vectors were then obtained from the remains in the absorption column. Subsequently, we linearized the vectors using restriction enzymes and conducted electrophoresis to analyze the products. The electrophoresis result displayed correctness toward the expected outcome (HisRh3C-P15VP4 is 2000 bp, and P4H is 755 bp). We selected colonies and sent them directly for sequencing. Figure 2 shows the success of pET-Dual-HisRh3C-P15VP4-P4H construction.

Characterization/Measurement

Later, the plasmid mounted with the gene of Rh3C-P15VP4 was transferred to E. coli DH5α to replicate. The extracted plasmid was transferred into E. coli BL21, which can help express His-Rh3C-P15VP4. After the colony PCR of E. coli BL21 was finished and verified, the bacteria were cultured and treated with 0.2 mM IPTG, which can promote protein expression. After promoting the protein expression overnight, the protein was purified via His-tag Purification Resin and went through SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and Native-PAGE electrophoresis. The target protein Rh3C-P15VP4 has a size of 85 kDa.

Collagen-VP4 A was diluted to a concentration of 0.5 mg/mL and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour before undergoing native-PAGE and SEC analysis. As illustrated in Figure 4, the samples were divided into two distinct clusters: high-molecular-weight and low-molecular-weight states. Each cluster contained multiple bands, indicative of varying degrees of proline hydroxylation. Based on the construct design, we hypothesized that the high-molecular-weight clusters represented the trimer assemblies, while the low-molecular-weight clusters corresponded to the monomers. This hypothesis was confirmed by the SEC analysis, as depicted in Figure 4. The peaks for collagen-VP4 A ranged from 0.5 to 0.8 CV, with the prominent peaks at 0.56 CV and 0.66 CV, respectively, suggesting the presence of trimer and monomer macromolecules.
