We transformed this plasmid plays (one contains gene CysDes and promoter pLuxR) into strain BL21. Then we picked some colonies for cultivation and confirmed the transformation result by PCR (shown in Figure 1). From the result of electrophoresis, we confirmed the transformation of pLCys was success. </p> | ||

We run SDS-PAGE of samples of raw enzyme, cell content obtained by 100 ˚C heating and wild type (shown in Figure 2). The protein CysDes is about 46kDa, we can find obvious bands at the about position of 45kDa which are unique to lanes of cell contents after induction and raw enzyme compared with the wild type. Although there are proteins of similar molecular weight in wild type, darker bands in experiment group meaning a high amount of proteins could prove the existence of high amount of CysDes. From the result of SDS-PAGE, we could confirm the expression of CysDes. </p> | ||

Cysteine Desulfhydrase
Cysteine Desulfhydrase is an aminotransferase that converts cysteine into pyruvate, ammonia, and hy- drogen sulfide. Because cysteine desulfhydrase activity is not restricted to anaer- obic conditions, expression of cysteine desulfhydrase in a suitable host could result in aerobic precipitation of cadmium as cadmium sulfide. (Wang, C., Lum, A., Ozuna, S., Clark, D., & Keasling, J. (2001). Aerobic sulfide production and cadmium precipitation by Escherichia coli expressing the Treponema denticola cysteine desulfhydrase gene. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 56(3-4), 425-430.) In our project, we need to use CdS nanoparticles to generate electrons utilizing light energy. So we need to find a way to produce CdS nanoparticles on the membrane of our engineered E.coli. The easiest way is to precipitate those nanoparticles directly, using the sulfide ions the bacteria produce and the cadmium ion we add into the reaction system. We introduce this enzyme to produce sulfide ion in the cytoplasm of our E.coli efficiently.
