PK_MT1

To improve the performance of Proteinase K, we designed many Proteinase K mutant genes. PK_MT1 is a complicated mutation of Proteinase K, which contains 5 mutation sites: N257C-S173Y-T16C-T20D-V198F.

Molecular cloning

We used the wild type Proteinase K(Hereinafter referred to as PK) DNA gene to overlap our mutated PK gene.

• 1. We used mutated PK primers to clone our small fragments.

• 2. We overlapped the small fragments by High-fidelity thermostable DNA polymerase.

• 3. Use restriction enzyme XhoⅠ and EcoRⅠ to double digest our mutated PK gene and pPIC9.

• 4. Use Ligase to link our mutated PK and pPIC9 after double digestion.
  
• 5. Then we converted the plasmid constructed to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.
  
• 6. Extract the recombinant pPIC9-PK and verify it by double digestion (XhoⅠ and EcoRⅠ), and sequence it for verication of mutation sites.

After verification, it was determined that the construction is successful. We converted the plasmid to E. coli DH5α to expand the plasmid largely.

Expression in Pichia Pastoris

Linearization of Recombinant pPIC9-PK:
We used restriction enzyme SalⅠ to linearize our recombinant plasmid.

Electrotransformation:
Add several μg linearized pPIC9-PK to GS115 competence cells, then use 1.5kV electric pulse to drill holes to let gene get in.
Screen positive colonies and culture preservation:

• 1. Use MD solid medium to screen positive GS115 cells which can grow without Histidine. (Because GS115 cannot grow at medium without Histidine except our gene was introduced in.
  
• 2. extract the genome of recombinant GS115 and verify the sequence of Recombinant pPIC9-PK (from AOX1 promoter to AOX1 Terminator, about 1500bp).

• 3. transfer the positive clonies and preserve it in Glycerin (steriled), store it at -80°C.
  

Express PK with Methanol:
Transfer some Glycerin recombinant GS115 to YPD, culture overnight. Then transfer some YPD culture to BMG, culture overnight. Transfer some BMG culture to BMM, add 0.6% Methanol daily, express PK for several days, then collect the supernatant and concentration it. At last, we do SDS-PAGE to make sure that our PK has expressed successfully, and take the standard samples to do grey analysis, then figure out the mass of PK.

Enzyme activity and thermostability determination

We use ELIASA to measure the Abs of OD_660nm of the product of L-Tyrosine of the reaction. We use 1% Casein as our substrate, and Tris-HCl (pH8.0) as our Buffer, react at 55°C for several minutes. Then add trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to end the reaction, centrifuge to collect the supernatant where contains our product of L-Tyrosine. Next step, we use Na₂CO₃ to provide alkaline environment, then add the supernatant and Folin-phenol reagant to colorate L-Trosine. In the end, we detect the Abs of OD_660nm to assess the enzyme activity of our PK.
We store our PK at Room temperature for several days and detect the remains of it, then assess the thermostability of PK.
