Biology
rLvAPN1
LvAPN1, a protein from the aminopeptidase N family, was identified in Litopenaeus vannamei hemocytes as a receptor for VPAHPND toxin PirA and PirB. It is constitutively expressed in the stomach, hepatopancreas, and hemocytes of healthy shrimp, while the increased expression of which was found after the shrimp were challenged with the VPAHPND toxin. Silencing of LvAPN1 prevents the VPAHPND toxin from passing through the cell membrane (1).
rLvAPN1 is a truncated form of LvAPN1 (residues 205-591) that composes of a crystal insecticidal (Cry) toxin binding region and the active site of peptidase-M1 domain, which was reported to directly bind to both PirA and PirB toxins. What’s more, there is no glycosylation sites in rLvAPN1, which makes it easier to obtain the purified protein by using prokaryotic expression system (such as E. coli).
Usage and design
In order to purify rLvAPN1, a His-tag (6×His) was added to the C-terminal of rLvAPN1. We used arabinose-inducible system to express the recombinant rLvAPN1-his then constructed composite part BBa_K4195134.
Characterization
Identification
After the first time of purification, we found that the protein was poorly expressed and mostly formed inclusion body, so we did not obtain the target protein. Therefore, we cloned this part into the expression vector pET-28a(+) via Gibson assembly, then transformed the correct plasmid into E. coli BL21(DE3). When constructing this circuit, colony PCR and gene sequencing were used to verify that the transformatants were correct. Target bands (1386 bp) can be observed at the position between 1000 and 1500 bp (Fig. 1).

SDS-PAGE
The plasmids verified by sequencing was successfully transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). After being cultivated and induced by IPTG, GE AKTA Prime Plus FPLC System was employed to get purified protein from the lysate supernatant. Purified protein was verified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-12% (wt/vol) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and Coomassie blue staining. As shown in the gel image of rLvAPN1-his (Fig. 2), the bands of target protein (45.5 kDa) could be observed at the position between 35 and 50 kDa on the purified protein lanes (FR).
