CSAD-6xHis

Description

L-Cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) is an enzyme consisting of 493 amino acids and weighs 55.4 kDa. CSAD functions in the taurine biosynthesis pathway, converting L-Cysteine to taurine [1].


Biology

Fig. 1. Taurine production pathway



CSAD is part of the L-cysteine sulfinic acid pathway, one of two possible taurine synthesis pathways. CSAD catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-Cysteine sulfinic acid into hypotaurine, which is spontaneously oxidized to taurine [1].


Usage

CSAD was used in in vivo testing of taurine production. The sequence for CSAD enzyme and trc promoter were ligated and transformed into E. coli to calculate taurine production using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A 6xHis-tag is added to the C-terminal of the CSAD protein, allowing for confirmation of CSAD expression by western blot using the anti-6xHis antibody.


Characterization

The CSAD fragment was synthesized by IDT and amplified by PCR. Agarose gel electrophoresis result is shown in Fig. 2.
