p51 subunit of HIV reverse transcriptase

This part contains the sequence of the p51 subunit of HIV reverse transcriptase. It is not functional on his own, to have an activity it must be associated with the p66 protein.

Characterization

1. Purifying the part

This part was cloned into e. coli NM522. Then the bacterium were grown in LB overnight at 37°. We got an OD600 of 2.4 at this stage, enough for harvest. The p51 has been tagged with a polyHis tag. A NiNTA column is used to purify it. We used NiNTA columns kit from kiagen. The protocol may be downloaded on this page. The protein purification yield was 350% and the global recovery yield was 24 %.

Figure 1. Steps of purification of the p51 Lane A shows the raw cellular extract. Lanes B,C,D and E shows the different wash step that were performed. On these lanes the p51 is not visible. Lanes F and G shows the purified recovered protein.

2. Testing the reverse transcriptase

Prior to any test p51 and p66 (BBa K1934061), were mixed together so as to get an equimolar mix, in PBS. At this stage both subunits are assembling together to form a functional HIV-1 RT. Then we ran a sigle step RT-PCR. The RNA used in this RT-PCR was the 16S fragment from the ribosomes. In a PCR tube a classic PCR mix was introduced we also added to this mixture the RT and the RNA template and both reverse and forward oligos. Then the mixture was reacted at 40° for 20 min. At this stage the RT transcribes the 16 RNA into cDNA. Then a classic PCR cycling was performed (35 cycles). The result was analyzed on an agarose gel.
