Experimental results
BBa_K2547000: Construction of CA2-WT expression plasmid
We first synthesized the sequence of human carbonic anhydrase CA2, and then cloned it into the expression vector pET-30a(+), and identified the correctness of the obtained recombinant vector by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

Induced expression of CA2-WT
The CA2-WT expression plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3), and the cultured liquid was subjected to IPTG-induced CA2 expression, and the bacterial solution was sonicated, followed by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot(Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) .It shows that the size of CA2 is 30.6 kDa, which is compared with Marker. The position indicated by the arrow in the figure is the CA2 band. It can be seen from lanes 1 and 2 in the figure that the IPTG condition is significantly induced. The expression of CA2, and it can be seen from lanes 3-6, that the induced expression of CA2 is mainly expressed in a soluble form in the supernatant of the bacterial liquid.The above results indicate that we successfully obtained E. coli which expresses CA2.

Purification of CA2-WT
After confirming that CA2 can be induced by E. coli BL21 (DE3), we will further purify the crude protein extract by nickel column purification to obtain purified CA2 protein. The results in the figure (Figures 5 and 6) illustrate that we have obtained a higher purity CA2 protein.

BBa_K2547004 : Construction of CA2(L203K)expression plasmid
We first synthesized the sequence of the mutant CA2, and then cloned it into the expression vector pET-30a(+), and identified the correctness of the obtained recombinant vector by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).

Induced expression of CA2(L203K)
The CA2(L203K) expression plasmid was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3), and the cultured liquid was subjected to IPTG-induced CA2 (L203K) expression, and the bacterial solution was sonicated, followed by SDS-PAGE(figure 3), the size of CA2(L203K) is known to be 30.6 kDa, which is compared with Marker. The position indicated by the arrow in the figure is the CA2(L203K) band. It can be seen from lanes 1 and 2 in the figure that the IPTG condition is significant to the expression of CA2 which was induced, and it can be seen from lanes 3-6 that the induced expression of CA2 was mainly expressed in soluble form in the supernatant of the bacterial liquid. The above results indicated that we successfully obtained E. coli expressing CA2(L203K).

Purification of CA2(L203K) protein
After confirming that CA2(L203K) can be induced by E. coli BL21(DE3), we will further purify the crude protein extract by nickel column purification to obtain purified CA2(L203K) protein. Figure 4 shows the results. We have obtained a highly purified mutant CA2 protein.

Determination of protease activity of CA2 and CA2 (L203K)
We determined the enzymatic activities of wild-type and mutant CA2 by colorimetric and esterase methods. As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, mutant CA2 (L203K) has higher enzymatic activity than wild-type CA2.

Analysis of Thermal Stability of CA2 and CA2 (L203K)
We examined the activity of carbonic anhydrase in wild-type and mutant CA2 at different times and temperatures by esterase method. The results are shown in Figure 7. As the temperature increases, especially at 55 ° C and 65 ° C, The enzymatic activity of wild type CA2 was significantly decreased, while the mutant CA2 still had higher activity, indicating that CA2 (L203K) has better thermal stability.
