CrpP：Ciprofloxacin-Modifying Enzyme
CrpP is a novel ciprofloxacin(CIP)-modifying enzyme which can phosphorylate CIP. Then the phosphorylated CIP goes through multiple steps of degradation spontaneously and produces 1,4-dihydroquinoline finally[1]. 1,4-dihydroquinoline is used as a kind of new carriers for specific brain delivery [2], so we can infer that it's nontoxic. This part is responsible for degradation of ciprofloxacin in our project.

Characterization
Molecular weight
This gene codes for a protein of 65 amino acids with a molecular mass about 11 kDa.When with a 6×Histag, the weight reaches about 15kDa.
Expression of CrpP-His
Because expression of CrpP-Histag is unsatisfying in E.coli DH5α, so we clone pelB-5D, CrpP with 6×Histag and TagRFP CDS into an expression vector, then the vector is transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3). 0.5mM IPTG is used for protein's expression and (over)expression is monitered by 17% SDS-PAGE.
Characterization of CrpP function
In order to detect CrpP’s function, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) was chosen. Although HPLC has a relatively higher sensitivity, the concentration of CIP inferred from the Km and Vmax given by Víctor M. Chávez-Jacobo et al.(2018) [1] is beyond HPLC’s limit of detection(LOD). So, we had to low down the CIP’s concentration. However, it was difficult to tell the difference between experimental group(CrpP+) and control group(CrpP-) directly through peak shape in such a low CIP concentration(＜1mg/L).
Statistics methods were introduced to help to solve this problem. Same concentration of CIP was incubated in a 1.9mL mix including 2 mM ATP, with or without cell extract that contains CrpP, at 37℃ for 30 minutes. Our experimental group(CrpP+) has 30 samples and control group(CrpP-) has 6 samples. Reaction was terminated by adding 2μL Concentrated Hydrochloric Acid. It is reasonable to reckon that the average peak area of both group has no difference in the beginning, but we can clearly notice that the experimental group’s average peak area is lower than that of control group(Fig. 2). Moreover, T-test for comparison of pooled data mean was introduced to analyze our results. T-test results indicate that in the case of a probability of error of less than 5%, there is a significant difference between the experimental group(CrpP+) and the control group(CrpP-). Thus, we can come to the conclusion that CrpP has the capability of degrading CIP.
