STEAP3

STEAP3 is a metalloreductase, capable of coverting iron from an insoluble ferric (Fe3+) to a soluble ferrous (Fe2+) form. In our experiments, it is involved in exosome biogenesis and combine with other two coding sequence to boost the number of exosomes.

Literature Characterization by AFCM-Egypt

The study created a reporter construct by joining the C-terminus of CD63, one of the most used exosome markers, to nanoluc (nluc), a tiny and potent bioluminescence reporter10. After progressive centrifugation to eliminate masking signals12, luminescence in the cell-culture supernatant was measured. This reporter gene was co-transfected with plasmids expressing potential candidates for exosome production augmentation.

The study found STEAP3 syndecan-4 (SDC4), and (NadB) as potential synthetic exosome production boosters. Combined expression of these genes significantly increased exosome production, and a tricistronic plasmid vector ( known as exosome production booster), which guarantees that transfected cells receive all boosted genes at a fixed ratio ,produced a 15-fold to 40-fold increase (depending on cell conditions) in the luminescence signal in the supernatant.

In order to optimize the function of our parts, we've used the concept of Directed Evolution through applying different mutations and measuring the effects of these mutations on their evolutionary epistatic fitness. As displayed in the chart below, the mutation (W209R) shows the highest epistatic fitness, while the lowest score was associated with the mutation (T85V,Q247N,L193F).

charactrizaion by mathematical modeling by AFCM-Egypt

Presence of STEAP3 part will increase the level of engineered exosomes so it plays an effective role to increase the efficacy of the therapeutic agent. We compared both condition of exosomes production when using booster genes and without it

(1)No booster genes with conditioned release

This Represents the relation between the activation of the internal domain of the Syn-Notch (represented as red line) and production of exosomes with specific cargo (represented as blue line) as the production of the engineered exosomes is initiated once the internal domain is activated.



(2)Booster gene with conditioned release

This Represents the relation between the activation of the internal domain of the Syn-Notch (represented as red line) and production of exosomes with specific cargo (represented as blue line) as the production of the engineered exosomes is initiated once the internal domain is activated.

We performed the double digestion method for this part in the prefix and suffix with its specific restriction enzyme and applied this part to gel electrophoresis as shown in the following figure lane (P2).
