Hoping to make a useful contribution for future iGEM teams,we completed the experimental characterization of  existing parts tsPurple, purple chromoprotein(incl RBS) and meffBlue, blue chromoprotein and provided new documents for both of them.

The tsPurple sequence (Part:BBa_K1033905) optimized for E. coli was incorporated into plasmid pET-29a(+), transformed into E. coli BL21 for characterization and measurement. We provided tsPurple with results and data based on protein expression and purification, TOF-Mass spectrometry,  and Swiss-model.

Conclusion: The cell pellet was collected by harvesting 50mL culture after 24h of induction followed by centrifugation at 4 degrees and 6000 rpm for 10min. Then, we performed ultrasonic disruption and collected the supernatant after centrifugation. The protein was purified and collected through ultrafiltration and affinity chromatography.

Conclusion: The protein gel preliminarily proved that the molecular mass of the tsPurple protein was correct, which is consistent with the expected molecular mass of tsPurple protein (the molecular mass of amajLime protein is about 26.9 kDa). Compared with lane 5, 6 and 7, lane 1, 2,3 and 4 indicate that more tsPurple protein can be obtained with IPTG induction. As is shown in lane 8, the concentration of protein was increased after ultrafiltration concentration. Lane 9 shows that the purification effect of protein after nickel affinity chromatography was better, and the impurity protein was less than before affinity chromatography. In conclusion, it can be seen that our expression and purification strategy is effective.

T7 promoter-lacO-tsPurple-6xHisTag-T7 terminator

Hoping to make a useful contribution for future iGEM teams,we completed the experimental characterization of existing part, tsPurple, purple chromoprotein(incl RBS)(BBa_K1033905) and provided new documents for this part.
Our team was very interested in the characterization of this chromoprotein and carried out the design and implementation of related experiments.
In order to test the function of these chromoproteins, we constructed Pet-29a(+)-tsPurple.
The expression was induced by T7 RNA polymerase provided by host cells. E.coil BL21 was used as receptor bacteria to express the protein, and then the fusion protein with histidine was purified by Nickle-affinity chromatography. If this chromoprotein are functional, we can observe the correct band through plasmid PCR, agarose gel electrophoresis, and the obvious color of the colony. After a series of purification operations, the correct band was observed by SDS-PAGE. Finally, use Mass Spectrometer to detect the exact molecular weight of the protein for final confirmation. Our experiment results matched the general expected trend and data.
