pET29a(+)-TRn5
In order to obtain proteins with self-healing properties, we used the pET29a(+) vector to express TRn5 ( BBa_K5398001) ). We tried different strategies for TRn5 protein production and purification and tested its function.
Protein expression
We expressed the protein in E.coli BL21 (DE3) using LB medium. After incubation at 37℃ for 5 h and 30℃ for 9 h, respectively, we found that most TRn5 (17.58 kDa) existed in precipitation and the TRn5 expression level at two temperatures had little difference (Fig. 1).

Then, we purified TRn5 by Immobilized Metal Affinity Chromatography (IMAC). However, the TRn5 expression level was too low to verify by SDS-PAGE (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 SDS-PAGE of expression products of TRn5 purified by IMAC.
Lane 1: marker; lanes 2 to 11, induced cell sample at 23℃; lane 2: pellet; lane 3: sample washed with denaturing buffer with 8 mM urea; lane 4: sample after dialysis overnight; lane 5: sample after being bound to Ni-NTA resin; lane 6: sample eluted with 20 mM Tris-HCl; lane 7: sample eluted with 20 mM imidazole; lane 8: sample eluted with 50 mM imidazole; lane 9: sample eluted with 150 mM imidazole; lane 10: sample eluted with 300 mM imidazole; lane 11: sample eluted with 500 mM imidazole.
To optimize the TRn5 expression, we reviewed plenty of literature, from which we found that TRn5 could easily be dissolved in 5% acetic acid (pH≈3) due to the existence of Histidine. Thus, we used a new protocol to obtain the purified TRn5. Solubilized in 5% acetic acid, the band of TRn5 was seen clearly, which means success of this purification manner (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 SDS-PAGE of expression products of TRn5 using a new protocol.
Lane 1: marker; lanes 2 to 4: whole-cell lysate, supernatant and pellet from induced cells at 37℃, respectively; lane 5: sample washed with 5% acetic acid.
