EGII

Summary

BBa_K3941001 is a codon-optimized (for E.coli) version of the endoglucanase (EG) gene that cleaves the internal beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose. We optimized the sequence for expression and added a 6XHis at the end.

Introduction

The part’s sequence originated from UniprotKB P07982. Substrate specificity, binding properties, and cleavage products of EGII were examined to evaluate its potential multiple enzymatic activities. EGII has a molecular weight of 52 kDa and has an optimum pH of 5.0 and optimum temperature of 40°C and 50°C. EGII can maintain 89% of its endoglucanase activity at 40 °C and more than 80% at 50 °C for 60 min.

Figure 2: Schema of design of the EGII EGII enzyme is produced in a eukaryotic organism (T. reesei) by default but this part was expressed in a prokaryotic bacteria. It is a difficult process because a prokaryotic organism can’t handle too much protein folding. Nucleotide sequences 262-590 and 765-1692 were used because the remaining sequences contain intron regions. Signal peptides were removed since enzyme release is unnecessary for the project. Parts such as CBM1 and linkers were removed because of the augmentation of protein folding probability which is a complicated process for a prokaryotic organism. Histidine tag was added at the end of the AA sequence which made protein purification easier.

Results

Genes from IDT in the cloning plasmid were transformed into strain E.coli and plasmid isolation was performed. We have done a spectrophotometer absorbance analysis.

After that we have done an agarose gel electrophoresis.

Lastly we conducted a CMCase Activity Analysis. EGII has an absorbance of 0,595 and enzyme activity of 24,85 U/min.
