Overview
This is part is to be fused to a target protein of interest for inclusion expression. This part also features the ability for DTT mediated cleavage for downstream purification purposes. It is noted that this is a mutant version.
This is derived from the following publication: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6173929/
Usage and Biology
ELK16 is the basis of a self-assembling peptide-fused protein expression system, SA-ELK16 system. ELK16 indues the formation of active fusion protein aggregates in E. coli, these aggregates are easiily and cheaply purified by centrifugation. The protein of interest can then be seperated by cleaving intein via DTT mediated cleavage. The summation of this allows for high purity, cost-effective purification scheme
Purification scheme:
1. Express fusion protein and sonicate cells
2. Centrifuge and remove supernatent. The fusion protein aggregates will form and fall to the bottom.
3. Treat with DTT to cleave the protein of interest from the aggregates
4. Centrifuge and remove supernatent. The pure, protein will be solubized whereas the uncleaved protein and insoluble aggregates will remain at the bottom.
Results
After sonication, the protein is released from the cells. In cells expressing intein-ELK16, the RFP-tagged fusion protein remains in an aggregated and insoluble fraction.
