Cultivation and Purification
Until now, the laccases from E. coli (ECOL), B. pumilis (BPUL), B. halodurans (BHAL) and T. thermophilus (TTHL) were produced and purified. As a first approach a batch cultivation and a quick and dirty purification procedure was chosen. The next steps will be a scale up for the B. halodurans laccase (BHAL) and a screening for cultivation conditions for the laccase from X. campestris in E coli Rosetta-Gami 2.
To improve the production and to produce a higher amount of laccases several screening approaches, like the cultivation in another medium (e.g. HSG-medium) as well as the establishment of a fed-batch cultivation with different feeding strategies to increase the durance of protein expression, are possible . Additional different fermentation condition can be proved to identify the best fermentation parameters like: pO2, agitation control, pH, temperature, air composition, etc.
For an improvement of the purification various possibilities exist. During our research the laccases were captured by a Ni-NTA resin and eluted with two elution strategies. To enhance the effectiveness of the purification procedure different elution strategies could be screened with varying elution gradients. The purification of the laccases can be expanded by 2 or 3 more steps for a better purification and a final polishing. Potential steps could be an Ion Exchange Chromatography with a following Size Exclusion Chromatography. Furthermore different buffers could be tested including different concentration of CuCl2 to prove if this has a positive influence on enzyme activity.
Shuttle vector
The shuttle vector (pECPP11JS) <partinfo>BBa_K863204</partinfo> could be constructed. The following step is to do site directed mutagenesis to eliminate the illegal XbaI restriction site in his4 gene. At next the genotype of the P. pastoris mutants have to be characterized as Mut+ or Muts transformants via PCR with 5AOX-Genotype-FW and TT-Genotype-RV primer. Afterwards the GFP::pECPP11JS construct have to sequenced and transformed into P. pastoris cells. The same procedure have to be repeated with the laccases from Trametes versiculor TVEL5 and from Pycnoporus cinnabarinus PCIL35.
After successfully site-directed integration of the shuttle vector in P. pastoris GS115 and genotype characterization, a methanol-induced cultivation is following. With an ion exchange chromatography the laccases can be purified and detected with a SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS.
