CrpP：Ciprofloxacin-Modifying Enzyme
CrpP is a novel ciprofloxacin-modifying enzyme which can phosphorylate ciprofloxacin(CIP). Then the phosphorylated CIP goes through multiple steps of degradation spontaneously and produces 1,4-dihydroquinoline finally[1]. 1,4-dihydroquinoline is used as a kind of new carriers for specific brain delivery [2], so we can infer that it's nontoxic. This part is responsible for degradation of ciprofloxacin in our project.

Characterization
Molecular weight
This gene codes for a protein of 65 amino acids with a molecular mass about 15 kDa.
Expression of CrpP-Histag
Expression of CrpP-Histag is unsatisfying in E.coli DH5α, so we clone pelB-5D, CrpP and 6×Histag CDS into an expression vector, then the vector is transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3). We use IPTG to induce its overexpression and SDS-PAGE is used to detect target protein's expression.
