Obtaining Genes

Both fungal and bacterial acetylases have three functional domains- a deacetylase domain, a chitin binding zone, and a low density lipoprotein receptor region. By using the bioinformatics BLAST technique, a sequence highly conserved with known deacetylase domain sequences was searched in the NCBI soft armor gene database.

The restriction enzyme cutting sites of our experiment are BamH I (198) and Hind III (173)

Transfection

The plasmid was diluted 1000-fold and 10000-fold, and the competent bacteria BL-21 was added for 30 minutes in an ice bath. Then we heated the bacteria at 42 degrees for one minute, and ice-bathed for five more minutes. After that, we added 400 ml of LB without Kana antibiotic and shook the bacterial fluid. Finally, the bacteria were sprayed on a petri dish with kana antibiotics.

Bacterial Fluid PCR to filter positive clones

To insure the plasmids were successfully transfected, we conducted bacterial fluid PCR. Our groupmates take ten 1.5 ml EP tubes, add 200 μl of kana resistant medium separately, directly draw a single clone with a small pipette tip and push the TIP directly into an EP tube. We covered the EP tube and shake the bacteria at 37 degrees for 2-3 hours. Then 1μl of the bacterial solution was used as a template to identify the PCR positive clone. DNA gel electrophoresis was used to see if there was a target strip to judge.

Inducing Expression

We set up various conditions to discover the most effecient condition. In total, we induced the sample in 180 different conditions. The samples are divided into different groups- the experiment group and the control group

Detecting Ability

Page electrophoresis

When the bacteria were induced, the page electrophoresis is necessary to identify whether the protein could be expressed successfully or not.

Measuring Enzyme Abilities

We add 1 mL 200 m g / L of substrate to a clean test tube, 3mL 0.05 mol / L phosphate buffer , 3 min 50 ° C water bath temperature protection Min, and add 1 mL enzyme solution, mix and heat in 50 degrees water 15 min. After that, we used boiling water to terminate the enzymatic reaction, and add water to a volume of 10 mL. Evenly, the solution was centrifuged at 3000r /min for 10 min. Measure the OD value of the upper clear. Definition of enzyme unit: The amount of enzyme required to produce 1 gram of p-nitroaniline per hour under the above reaction conditions is defined as 1 enzyme activity ( U /mL ).
