Summary: According to the lectures, we learned that the degradation rate of eGFP-ssrA could be measured. In cell-free system, protein degradation by clpXP is described by a zeroth order chemical kinetic,and clpxp protein can recognize the protein with ssrA tag, so it is useful to add clpxp degrading the degfp. This year,on the basis work of iGEM18_William_and_Mary, ZJUT-China measured the different eGFP degradation rate by adding different concentrate of plasmid P70-clpxp (Part:BBa_K3885203) based on the reference. We hope it will support more help on modelling and further experiments.
Methodology
There are two methods to express clpxp protein: co-expression and pre-expression.Accelerated protein degradation can be achieved by co-expression of P70a-ClpXP, by adding protein to a cell-free system pre-incubated with P70a-ClpXP for an hour or by adding dilutions of pre-expressed clpXP (P70a-clpXP, 3nM). Different methods can provide different rates of protein degradation, ranging from 9.3 nM/min to 250 nM/min. By expressing clpXP, protein synthesis can be adjusted to an appropriate rate.[1]
