Usage and Biology

This is a fusion protein of Thioredoxin (BBa_K2382004) and MSMEG_5998 (BBa_K2382001). The ability of degrading aflatoxin is better than MSMEG_5998 alone.

Characterization of the Thioredoxin-MSMEG_5998 fusion protein

Expression results ( IPTG induction )

MSMEG_5998 was synthesized by Allbio Life Co., Ltd and put into the standard backbone pSB1C3. First, we transformed the plasmids into E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain to express our proteins. Then IPTG was used to induce the expression system, since all plasmids in our project had T7 promoter. We sonicated E. coli and did 9500 rpm and 13000 rpm centrifugation to remove the cell pellet and obtain the supernatant. To confirm the suitable concentration of cell supernatant, we ranwestern blot. The results are demonstrated in the Fig 1. After centrifuging for two times, we could find a high percentage of proteins in the cell supernatant (the 13000 Su group).

Figure 1: Cell lysates in the process of two times centrifuge were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and coomassie brilliant blue staining. 9500 T meant the initial sample gotten after sonication; 9500 P and 13000 T meant the pellet and the supernatant gotten after 9500 rpm for 20 min; 13000 P and 13000 Su meant the pellet and the supernatant gotten after 13000 rpm for 20 min.
