Carbonic anhydrase 2

This part is the coding sequence (CDS) of wild-type human carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2) with a His-tag placed at the C-terminal. CA2 is a metalloenzyme that can efficiently catalyze the formation of HCO3- and H+ from CO2 and H2O with high catalytic efficiency and fast reaction rate.

Construction of wild-type human carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2-WT) expression plasmid

We first synthesized the sequence of CA2-WT, and then cloned it into the expression vector pET-30a(+), and identified the correctness of the obtained recombinant vector by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

Induced expression of CA2-WT

The CA2-WT expression plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3), and positive clones were screened by kanamycin resistance. Then, the recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3) were propagated and CA2-WT expression was induced at the fourth hour of cell cultivation using an IPTG concentration of 500 μM. Cells were lysed by sonication on ice, and the obtained crude extract was centrifuged to separate supernatant and debris, and both fractions were subjected to SDS-PAGE and Western Blot (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4). The arrow indicated in Fig. 3 was the band of CA2 protein as the molecular weight of CA2 is about 30.6 kDa. It can be seen from lanes 1 and 2 that the CA2-WT expression was significantly induced with IPTG incubation. Results from lanes 3-6 indicated that the induced expression of CA2 mainly existed in soluble form in the cell lysate supernatant. The correctness of CA2 protein was also confirmed by Western blot assay in Fig. 4. In consequence, the results above demonstrate that an engineered E. coli BL21 (ED3) strain that expresses CA2-WT has been constructed.

Purification of CA2-WT protein

After confirming that CA2-WT could be expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3), CA2-WT protein was further purified with nickel column, and the resulting protein had a molecular mass corresponding to CA2-WT protein (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). Western blot analysis showed the protein to be recognized by antibodies specifically recognizing histidine-tag (Fig. 6).

Fig. 5 CA2 was purified with Ni column; fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE.
