Part:BBa_K3815004
NOP1-Mxe GryA intein-PT-linker-ELK16
Descriotion of this part
Targeted protein
This part is for the purfication of NOP1. This is a small peptide that can prevent the plants from sensing ethylene. In our experiment, we used it to inhibit the acceptance of ethylene that promotes the wilting of a plant and aging of cut flowers.
Purification system
In order to purify the peptide, we adopted ELK16 system that the past iGEM teams had not used. This part is composed of ELK16, Mxe Gyr intein, and PT linker. When this fused protein is produced, ELK16 self-assembles and precipitates. After that, taking this aggregate and adding DTT to it, the N terminal of Mxe GyrA intein is cut. Then, we can get the targeted protein.

Purification
Expression
- Cells were grown in 1000ml LB media at 37oC shaking at 180 rpm.
- when the OD exceeded 0.35, 1 M IPTG 2ml was added to induce the peptide expression.
- Incubate at 30℃ at 180rpm for 6 hours after adding IPTG.
Purification
1.When this fused protein were produced, it self-assembled and precipitated
2.The aggregate was collected by centrifugation.
3.Adding 40mM DTT to this aggregate, the targeted protein was cut out by the cleavage of intein.
4.SDSPAGE was performed in order to confirm the presence of it.
Fig1 shows the result of SDS-PAGE.
The lane 4, 8,and 12 are the result of NOP1.
NOP1 is 1132Da, so these date shows that we could not confirm its production.
