DocS

The Coch2 module binds DocS (BBa_K3396000) modules constitutively.

Usage and Biology

The DocS[1] module comes from The C. thermocellum scaffoldin and it could recognize and bind tightly to complementary Coh2 modules. The Coh2–DocS pair represents the interaction between two complementary families of protein modules that exhibit divergent specificities and affinities, ranging from one of the highest known affinity constants between two proteins to relatively low-affinity interactions.

From literature, we found that the yield of expression of Docs is very low so we decided to test it with different tags GST and His to see their effects on its stability and expression yield. Also, we optimized the sequence to be expressed in E-coli. in addition, there is no characterization for Docs on the registry so we expressed and characterized it by different methods such as Agarose gel electrophoresis, SDS PAGE, transformation efficiency, affinity chromatography, and Bradford assay. it's proved by wet lab results that the expression yield of Docs has raised with tagging by GST.

Dry Lab Characterization

1.1. Modeling

Docs has been tagged with GST and His for purification and increasing the yield by the GST tag. then the model designed by several tools to get the best model.

1.2. Docking

Tagged Docs with GST and His has been docked with Coh2 tagged with GST and His by different tools to get the best model. Best docked structures were retrieved from ClusPro and Galaxy web servers according to our ranking code.

Comparison between chemical lysis and sonication for His DOC

                  Figure 9. This graph shows the difference between chemical lysis and sonication for His DOC,
                      after we had the results, we optimized our protocol to use chemical lysis for His DOC

SDS PAGE for induced and non induced samples of His DOC

           Figure 10. This figure shows the comparison between induced and non-induced samples of His DOC where well no.2 is 
           the non-induced sample while well no.4 is the induced sample showing that our protein is induced effectively 
                            owing to our right choice of IPTG, time interval, and concentration
