| − | ===Usage and Biology===
| |
| − | In the anti-plasmodium system of NAU-2019, the amount of both TEV protease [https://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K3139012 BBa_K3139012]and anti-plasmodium fusion protein [https://parts.igem.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K3139013 BBa_K3139013]should be kept at a certain proportion to avoid a waste of cell resources.
| |
| − | If the TEV protease is excessive, it shall be wasted though the fusion proteins are cleaved completely. If the fusion protein is excessive, it cannot be cleaved completely with insufficient TEV protease.
| |
| − | By testing different promoter combinations of TEVp and fusion protein, we tried to find out the most economical combination which has the least waste and most complete cleavage with the help of mathematic model.
| |
| − | To measure, we planned to replace the promoter of TEVp, and in this part we chose promoter J23106, and acquired the best effect among all 3 promoters.

| − | ====Background====
| |
| − | Composite part BBa_K3139014, J23100-fusion protein-B0015-J23106-TEVp-TEVp site-HasA-B0010, anti-Plasmodium system. We choose this part as the best composite part, because its function was the most superior among all the parts of the same type (Figure.3 Lane 3). It also provided significant data for our mathematic model which simulated different promoter combinations (shown in Figure.1) of anti-Plasmodium system and predicted the possibly most superior combination.

| − | ====Characterization====
| |
| − | We constructed a recombined plasmid vector pEXC-2 (Figure.1), transformed the plasmid into Serratia JCM11315, and cultured it in LB medium for 60h to obtain supernatant after ultrasonication. Then we purified our target His tagged protein by using Ni-NTA magnetic beads.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Then we made mass spectrometry analysis.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Results====
| |
| − | The WB result shows several bands (Figure.3). We defined the smallest monomer protein band (7.2kd) completely produced by cutting as the representative of cutting effect, and the band of TEVp (29.5kDa) represents the promoter strength of TEVp. From the grayscale of the TEVp and monomer protein bands, we find out the cutting effect of the strongest promoter J23111 was weak than the second strong promoter J23106. It’s also supporting the results of our model that changing the strength of promoters can change the cutting effect and the concentration of single effectors in extracellular, providing theoretical support for the practical application of our project.

| − | ====Integration with model====
| |
| − | Our model firstly ensured the most reasonable quantity proportion of TEV proteases and anti-Plasmodium fusion proteins. Then we supposed different secretion speed levels, obtained the most suitable combination of promoters in each condition. What surprised us is, one of these assumptions fitted our experiment well.
