This composite part is made up with five basic parts, the RBS, two cutting sites NdeI and XhoI (linker a,b) , the His tag,and our target protein PETase_MT17. It encodes a protein which is PETase_MT17 fused with His tag. The fusion protein is about 31.49kD. In order to gain the highly purified target protein, we add His tag in N-terminal of PETase_MT17 and combine the two parts with the cutting site of protease. The fusion protein can be cut off at the cutting site by  protease. It is convenient for us to purify our target protein.

Usage and Biology

This composite part is made up with five basic parts, the RBS, two cutting sites NdeI and XhoI (linker a,b) , the His tag,and our target protein PETase_MT18. It encodes a protein which is PETase_MT18 fused with His tag. The fusion protein is about 31.49kD. In order to gain the highly purified target protein, we add His tag in N-terminal of PETase_MT18 and combine the two parts with the cutting site of protease. The fusion protein can be cut off at the cutting site by protease. It is convenient for us to purify our target protein.

Origin(organism)

Ideonella sakaiensis

Molecular cloning

First, we used the vector pET21a to construct our expression plasmid. And then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.

After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression and purification.

Expression and purification

Pre-expression:
The bacteria were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with ampicillin(50μg/mL) in 37℃ overnight.
Massive expressing:
After taking samples, we transfered them into 900ml LB medium and added antibiotic to 50 μg/mL final concentration. Grow them up in 37°C shaking incubator. Grow until an OD 600 nm of 0.8 to 1.2 (roughly 5-6 hours). Induce the culture to express protein by adding 0.5 mM IPTG (isopropylthiogalactoside, MW 238 g/mol). Put the liter flasks in 16°C shaking incubator for 16h.

Affinity Chromatography:
We used the Ni Agarose to purify the target protein. The Ni Agarose can combine specifically with the Ni-His tag fused with target protein.

  • First, wash the column with water for 10 minutes. Change to Ni-binding buffer for another 10 minutes and balance the Ni column.
  • Second, add the protein solution to the column, let it flow naturally and bind to the column.
  • Third, add Ni-Washing buffer several times and let it flow. Take 5ul of wash solution and test with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. Stop washing when it doesn’t turn blue.
  • Forth,add Ni-Washing buffer several times. Check as above. Collect the eluted proteins for further operation.

Figure 2. The result of SDS-PAGE.

Well, we can know that the expression level of PETase_MT18 on the vector(pET21a) is very low,from the result of SDS-PAGE (Figure2) . Therefore, we change the vector and tag to obtain high-expression protein. (If you want to know more about this, please see our project introduction. )

Conclusion

The vector we used (pET21a) did not meet our requirements well, so we replaced the vector and tag.
