Overview
This composite part is for the expression of a T7 tagged, SUMO-RFP fusion protein. This allows for the production and purification of the RFP via a double His-tag purification scheme by cleaving SUMO with Ulp1.
Usage and Biology
This is a bacterial expression system for SUMO-RFP fusion protein. By expressing the T7 tagged SUMO-RFP fusion protein via an enhanced T7pCONS system, we are able to increase the expression yield of the protein. The nature of the SUMO-tag further allows for a simplified purification scheme.
Purification scheme:
1. Express the fusion protein in E. coli and sonicate cells
2. His-pulldown the cell lysate
3. Cleave with Ulp1
4. His-pulldown to seperate uncleaved proteins and non-target proteins.
Results
The cleavage of SUMO is done at 4°C for 16 hours. Comparing lanes 3 and 4, it is observed that the cleavage of SUMO with Ulp1 is more than 95% completed. The cleavage products are subjected to a second His pulldown and the flow through is collected (not bound fraction). The procedure removed almost all the SUMO band, showcasing around 90% of His-tag unwanted un-cleaved, and SUMO can be removed with second round pulldown easily.
Further purification could be done with FPLC or HPLC. However, this serves as a proof of concept of the Ulp1 SUMO system for rapid cleavage.
