Description

Alcohol dehydrogenase, ADH or ADR N-term, is a BioBrick C-Myc and 6-His tagged in N-term.

ADR is a thermophilic NAD+ dependent alcohol dehydrogenase. This enzyme bears mainly an ethanol-dehydrogenase activity.

Reaction

Primary alcohol + NAD+ = Aldehyde + NADH + H+ Secondary alcohol + NAD+ = ketone + H+ + NADH EC:1.1.1.1

Usage and Biology

The alcohol deshydrogenase catalyzes the oxidation reaction of many alcohols. In our case, it allows to oxidize fatty acids. ADH bacteria have a reverse function to that describe in the human body. It then produces alcohol by generating NAD+. This is called alcoholic fermentation.

Design

Thanks to Geneious software we have designed a gene with a promoter, a C-Myc and 6-His tag and a terminator. The promoter is inducible to arabinose. This allows a controlled expression of the synthetic gene to avoid any effect of toxicity. In addition, arabinose is an inexpensive inducer and very present in the laboratories of our university. The allows to purify and detect the protein in the host strain by using Ni-NTA columns or specific antibodies.

Manipulations

PCR amplification

Following the design of the synthetic gene, it is amplified by PCR thanks to the design of primers upstream and downstream of the sequence. After amplification of the synthetic gene, sample is purified, the amplicons are digested with restriction enzymes EcoRI and PstI. Similarly for the cloning vector pSB1A3 according to the protocol described above. The insert (N-term ADR) is then ligated into the plasmid.

The marker used during the migration is the NEB 1 kb Plus Ladder. Lane 1 corresponds to the marker, lane 2 to the digested N-term ADR, lane 3 to the digested C-term ADR and lane 4 to the digested plasmid pSB1A3.

Also present in N-ter or C-ter are 6-His and c-myc tag. Finally, in the plasmid is present and ampicillin resistance cassette.

NI : Not induced I: Induced

After sequencing, induction was performed on the thermocompetent bacteria JM109. The objective was to verify if the cloned gene leads to the production of a protein. The expected size of the ADR protein is 40 kDa. A very strong expression of the ADR protein was observed at this size when the pBAD promoter is induced with arabinose. The gene has therefore been correctly cloned into the strain and the protein is produced.
