tRNAPhe-MS2
tRNAPhe-MS2 co-purification construct. Contains a T7 promoter -10 followed by tRNA Phe, two MS2 RNA aptamers and a double terminator. To be used in conjunction with BBa_K2109108.
tRNA Purification
Both BBa K2443038 and BBa_K2109108 were overexpressed individually in E. coli BL21-Gold (DE3) cells. Upon which time the cells were lysed, the lysate combined, and applied to a Nickel Sepharose affinity column. In order to cleave the RNA, 1 µM of DNA oligo was added to the column, as well as varying amounts of RNase H. Incubation times on the column with RNase H and DNA oligo varied from 2 hours (Figure 3) to 12 hours (Figure 4), and the amount of RNase H used varied from 10 units to 100 units (Figure 3 and 4). Based upon the varied conditions, a longer incubation time had the greatest effect on tRNA cleavage efficiency with units of RNase H being optimal between the range of 5-50. With these improvements from our initial attempt at tRNA cleavage we successfully purified tRNAPhe, as shown in Figure 4.
