MS2 6XHis (V29I/d1FG)
this part is an improvement upon BBA_K1791003 from the Lethbridge iGEM 2015 submission. It contains a N terminal Hexahistidine tag on a modified MS2 coat protein sequence. The sequence has been codon optimized for Ecoli and modified via a V29I mutation and a 13 aa deletion with a Gly/Ala insertion. These mutations prevent capsid formation as well as dimerization of MS2 for more efficient yields during purification.
BBa_K2109108 used in a 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 1) to 12 hours (Figure 2), and the amount of RNase H used varied from 10 units to 100 units (Figure 1 and 2). 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 2.

Figure 1 - Preliminary tRNAPhe Purification. 12% 8M urea PAGE run for 45 mins at 300 V. All concentrated fractions were phenol chloroform extracted, ethanol precipitated and re-suspended in 30 µL of ddH2O. Lanes are as follows: 1- tRNA fraction with 20 units of RNase H added; 2- concentrated tRNA fraction 20 units of RNase H added; 3- concentrated MS2 fraction 1 20 units of RNase H added; 4- concentrated MS2 fraction 2 20 units of RNase H added; 5- tRNA standard (76 nt).
Figure 2 - Successful tRNAPhe Purification. 12% 8M urea PAGE run for 45 mins at 300 V. All fractions were phenol chloroform extracted, ethanol precipitated and re-suspended in 30 µL of ddH2O. Lanes are as follows - 1- MS2 fraction 25 units of RNase H added; 2- tRNA fraction 25 units of RNase H added; 3- MS2 fraction 50 units of RNase H added; 4- tRNA fraction 50 units of RNase H added; 5- MS2 fraction 100 units of RNase H added; 6- tRNA fraction 100 units of RNase H added; 7- MS2 fraction 10 units of RNase H added; 8- tRNA elution 10 units of RNase H added; 9- tRNA standard (76 nt).
Additional optimization of cleavage conditions and wash steps will be needed in order to optimize this process.
