| + | <b>Expression of HB-EGF/EnvZ (HE) + OmpC/GFP (OG)</b> | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before we measure the fluorescence of the system, we would like to check the existence of the proteins (HE & OG). We performed SDS-PAGE to measure the reconfirm the size of HE and OG. In Figure 1, we can observe 2 bands that are missed in the wildtype (WT) bacteria. The bands have the size of +/- 90kDA and 43 kDA, respectively. The size of this band is consistent with the size of HE (42.332 kDA) that we already predict by it’s structural modelling. To presence of 90 kDA band also confirms that HE presents in its dimeric form and attached to the membrane. From the thickness of the band, it is shown that TB broth has the thickest band compared to Low Salt LB Medium where Normal LB Medium has the thinnest band among other medium. In the TB & LB medium, the thickness of the HE band gradually increase from row 1 to row 4, consistent with the duration after IPTG is added. In Figure 5, we can also observe the presence of 43 kDA band. This would confirm that this band is a monomer of our chimeric protein. Based on literature, we know that not all EnvZ will form dimer because of the existence of the dimer-monomer equilibrium.(1) From this we could conclude that each of the 90 kDA band and 43 kDA is our chimeric protein on dimer and monomer structure respectively. | ||

| + | We also perform MagneHis on HE to further confirm the presence of HE containing HisTag Figure 5. The resulted MagneHis band was really thin confirming HE is indeed expressed in Low Salt Medium and TB medium. Unfortunately, MagneHis result on DH5a shows several bands which may be due to un-specific binding of the MagneHis to HE. Another explanation may be due to saturated concentration of bacteria and thus during the washing part, the washing is not completely clean. Therefore, during the elution, some of the leftover bacterial protein get eluted. It can be observed that HE is still present. | ||

| + | [[File:HEOG SDS.jpg|700px|thumb|centre|Figure 1. This shows the SDS-PAGE of TOP10 bacteria grown in TB medium, LB medium and Low Salt LB medium. The lane ‘-’ indicates TOP10 before induced by IPTG. The lane ‘1-4’ indicates sample collected at hour 1 to 4 after IPTG has been added. The lane A, B and C indicates MagneHis of TOP10 in TB medium, LB medium, and Low Salt LB medium, respectively. The WT indicates TOP10 wildtype. | ||

| + | Unfortunately in this SDS-PAGE, the GFP protein can not be seen. However, the presence of GFP can be confirmed when the bacteria is pelleted and observed under UV light. The reason the GFP protein can not be observed may be due to short duration of soaking in Page Blue. | ||
