Horseradish Peroxidase
Description
Class III plant peroxidases catalyze various oxidative reactions in which electrons are transferred to peroxide species, and substrate molecules are oxidized (Krainer, 2015). Peroxidases can be found in most plants and have been proposed to influence various functions related to the degradation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (Lamport, 1986) and cell wall elasticity (Goldberg et al., 1986). Horseradish peroxidases is a peroxidase that has been used exhaustively as a reporter enzyme in diagnostics and histochemistry. In our lab, we designed an HRP part in accordance to RFC 10. HRP in our experiment will serve as a proof of concept for the Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation of tobacco plants with CBDA synthase. HRP will be inserted into the pORE vector for transformation of A. tumefaciens. The A. tumefaciens will then be used to transform tobacco plants. The tobacco will then produce hairy roots suspended in the culture that contains the HRP part.
Characterization
The following characterization assays were done by the Team: TU_Dresden 2019
This team adapted this BioBrick to the RCF25 standart. Therefor it had to be uploaded as a separate BioBrick, which can be found here: BBa_K3037007
The sequences are identical and it is the same BioBrick just in a different standart. The proof that the standart did not influence expression or activity can be found in the characterization.

Outline
We performed the following characterization experiments:
1) Growth curve of Expression in pOOC97 (BBa_K3037000)
2) Determination of the total protein amount of cleared lysate after expression assay of the substrate conversion (TMB) compared to (BBa_K1800002)
3) Protein Expression monitoring in SDS-PAGE
4) Determination of the total protein amount of cleared lysate after expression assay of the substrate conversion (TMB) compared to (BBa_K1800002)
Experiments in Detail
1) Expression in pOOC97 (BBa_K3037000):
The HRP was expressed using the plasmid pOOC97 as a backbone(BB_aK3037000)
The purpose of this experiment is to show that the Escherichia coli grows normaly after the induction of the expression of HRP.
For this the development of the culture was monitored by measuring the OD at 600 nm during different time points before and after induction with 1 mM IPTG. As shown in the curve the growing of the bacteria is not affected by the expression of the protein. Escherichia coli show a the normal growth behaviour as expected in a batch culture.
2) Determination of total protein amount of cleared lysate:
A culture of 100mL Escherichia coli pRARE T7 transformed with the HRP BioBrick inside pOOC97 (BBa_K3037000), they were cultivated until the OD reach 0.5, then the culture was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG and 6 hours after that it was spin down. The pellet was frezeed at -80 degrees and leaved overnight. The next day the cells were lysate and the supernatand was taken for measure the protein concentration. The standard curve was done with the Pierce BCA protein assat kit of thermo scientific (#23225).
3) Expression assay:
A culture of 100 mL Escherichia coli pRARE T7 transformed with the HRP BioBrick inside pOOC97 (BBa_K3037000), they were cultivated until the OD600 reach 0.5. Samples before induction were taken. Then the culuture was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG, samples were taken each 30 minutes (5 samples), then 3 more each 1 hour. Before making the SDS-PAGE, the samples were adjusted to OD of 0.5 to have the same amount of cells in each lane. This way the increase in one specific protein can be observed. The results show the increase of the concentration of the protein in time.
As can be seen in the SDS-PAGE the protein of interest is incresing over time from the point of induction onwards. HRP is marked with a black arrow pointing left.
4) Activity assay of the substrate conversion (TMB) compared to BBa_K1800002
The conversion of transparent TMB substrate to blue reaction product was monitored at 370 nm over half an hour with absorption measurement every 60 seconds.
As can be seen in the graph, the activity of this BioBrick and the original one that it was adapted from are not different. This was to be expected, since the sequences are the same and only the prefix and suffix were changed from RCF10 to RCF25.
