6xHis/Twin-strep-SUMO-CcaCas13b

CcaCas13b is a member of Cas13 protein family. It has the common characteristic of Type VI RNA-targeting CRISPR–Cas system’s proteins, which means it could be actived by target RNA and could cleave bystander single strained RNAs. This feature could be used to target RNA and thus to detect RNA and to edit RNA. Besides, different Cas13 protein has different base cutting preference, and the preference of CcaCas13b is Poly U/UA/UC

Cloning

We ordered CcaCas13b protein gene from a syntheis company. We coloned the gene and ligated it into the pET-28a(+) using One Step Colone. And then we added 6xHis/Twin strep-SUMO tag to the 5' end of the gene to construct the whole part.

The result shows that XXXXXXXXX are positive colony

Expression and purification

Because CcaCas13b protein was codon optimized, it was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). And the expressed protein was purified by Ni-NTA purification. The result is shown below.The molecular weight of CcaCas13b is 143.4 KDa which may be the banding in Lane FT and Lane 10, but the results show that from Lane 50-Lane 500, the banding appears between 41 KDa and 53 KDa. We speculate that the we inserted the 6xHis tag in the wrong site when constructing the part, thus resulting in the discrepancy between the purified protein size and the theoretical value.
