CecropinA-Mxe GryA intein-PT-linker-ELK16

Usage and Biology

This part is for the purfication of antimicrobial peptide, CecropinA. This is derived from a moth. This is the antimicrobial peptide that can inhibit the growth of both gram-negative bacteria and gram-positive bacteria. In our experiment, we used it to kill the bacteria in the vase water. In order to purify the peptide, we adopted ELK16 system that the past iGEM teams had not used. This part is composed of ELK16, Mxe Gyr intein, and PT linker. When this fused protein is produced, the part of ELK16 self-assembles and precipitates. After that, taking this aggregate and adding DTT to it, we cut the N terminal of Mxe GyrA intein. Then, we can get the targeted protein.

Purification

Fig1. SDS-PAGE of purified peptide

Expression

  • Cells were grown in 1000ml LB media at 37oC.
  • when the OD exceeded 0.35, IPTG was added to induce the peptide expression.

Purification

1.E.coli which expressed this part were lysed with sonification.
2.When this fused protein are produced,it self-assembles and precipitates.
3.This aggregate is collected by centrifugation.
4.Adding DTT to this aggregate, the targeted protein is cut out by the cleavage of intein.

Fig1 shows the result of SDS-PAGE. The lane 1, 5,and 9 are the result of CecropinA. This is 4051kDa, so these date shows that we could not purify CecropinA sufficiently.
