AB  - Plastic materials have become indispensable in the modern world, with their extensive use resulting in their environmental accumulation. A promising solution for overcoming this ecological threat may be found in recombinantly produced plastic-degrading enzymes. Due to the complexity of the heterogeneous catalysis occuring during enzymatic PET hydrolysis, quantifying and comparing activities of such enzymes is rendered difficult. Here, we have assessed various assays documented in existing literature, employing different preparations of the purified recombinant Ideonella sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F (expressed from commercial plasmid Addgene #112203). The investigated methods were as follows: p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNA) hydrolysis assay, bis-(2-hydrohxyethyl)-terephthalate (BHET) agar and PET agar diffusion assays, and UV absorbance monitoring after PET particle and PET bottle cut-out hydrolysis. Additionally, we introduced an indirect colorimetric assay using the indicator pyrocatechol violet (PCV).
Our work reveals many advantages and problems for each of the tested methods. The pNA hydrolysis assay is the quickest, but many substances which are usually present in enzyme buffers and solutions tend to hydrolyse this compound (e.g. imidazole). It is also unspecific due to hydrolysis by other esterase enzymes. The BHET diffusion assay offers a great tool for activity comparison and estimation, with greater enzyme specificity. However, it is slow and accurate activity quantification is difficult. PET hydrolysis was conducted on in-house prepared PET particles with UV spectrophotometric measurement or by a diffusion assay. Due to the measuring wavelength (240 nm), the importance of proper blanking is critical, but accurate results can still be obtained. The sensitivity of the diffusion assay is much lower in comparison to the similar BHET assay. We also report on a modification of the phenol red indirect colorimetric assay using PCV as the indicator and PET particles as the substrate, which has not been previously described in existing literature.

AB  - The optimization of expression conditions is a tedious, but necessary procedure for thesuccessful efficient production of recombinant proteins. Design of experiment (DoE) savestime and resources by using statistics to carefully select only a few experimental points(expression conditions) to obtain information about the whole tested range of variedconditions, unlike the most commonly used one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) method, whichrequires full imput space screening for optimization. Here, we have optimized theexpression conditions of His 6 and His8-mCerulean3-TEV-α-synuclein production from thethe pDUET vector, as well as the His 6-tagged protein from the pET-20b vector andexpressed into the periplasm. The proteins for which optimization was conducted wereexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS. We have used DoE toplan adequate experimental points for optimization according to a Box-Behnken design,with IPTG concentration, temperature and time variation. After collecting the cultures atgiven experimental points, they were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and densitometry, thenmodelled and statistically analysed. The importance of correct sample preparation and gelloads for densitometric analysis is evident according to the obtained results. The largestexpression level was obtained from the His 8-tagged protein coded by the pDUET vector inE. coli BL21(DE3). We have also used densitometry to analyze expression levels indifferent culture media.

AB  - Viral exonucleases play role in many processes essential for genome ma intenance,including DNA repair and recombination. Lambda exonuclease (λ -exo), isolated fromlambda bacteriophage, hydrolases double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in the highly processivemanner in 5’→3’ direction, yielding mononucleotides and single -stranded DNA (ssDNA).This unique enzymatic properties offer several promising biotechnological applications,such as highly sensitive quantification of DNA modifications and single -moleculesequencing. Hence, optimization of the expression conditions is a prerequisite to achievehigh-level production of λ-exo. Here we have tested λ -exo expression in five different E.coli strains under various temperature regimes in order to establish the optimal conditionsfor efficient production of recombinant λ -exo. The N-terminally His -tagged λ-exo wassuccessfully expressed in E.coli BL21(AI), SHuffle T7, C41(DE3) and C43(DE3) strains inLB broth. Collected aliquots were analysed by SDS-PAGE, followed by CBB staining.Relative yield of target protein bands was determined by densitometry in total cell lysate, aswell as in soluble and insoluble cytoplasmatic fractions. We identified E.coli BL21(AI),SHuffle T7 and C41(DE3) as good producers of recombinant λ -exo, and upon scaling up, λ-exo was purified from crude cell lysates by metal affinity chromatography in satisfactoryyield. Our data suggest that densitometric analysis could serve as a powerful low-costscreening platform for improving recombinant protein expression strategies.

AB  - Introduction: Lambda exonuclease (λ-exo), isolated from lambda bacteriophage, plays a crucial role in
DNA replication, repair and recombination. The enzyme specifically hydrolases double-stranded DNA
(dsDNA) in a highly processive manner in 5’�����3’ direction, yielding mononucleotides and single-stranded
DNA (ssDNA). This efficient unidirectional degradation makes it an invaluable tool in various molecular
biology techniques, including novel sequencing technologies. Hence, optimization of the expression
conditions is a prerequisite to achieving high-level production of λ-exo.
Methods: The N-terminally His-tagged λ-exo fusion construct with thrombin cleavage site (AddGene
#104531) was successfully transformed into five different E. coli strains (BL21(AI), Shuffle T7, C41(DE3),
C43(DE3), and BL21(DE3)). Expression was tested under three temperature regimes (20 ˚C, 30 ˚C, and 37
˚C) over time for enhanced soluble production. Crude extracts were analysed by SDS-PAGE for total protein
expression, soluble and insoluble cytoplasmatic fractions. The exonuclease activity of the extracts
was monitored via in-house developed fluorescence-based screening assay. Optimal conditions for highyield
production were determined by densitometric analysis using NIH ImageJ software. The soluble and
active enzyme was produced on the large scale in a shaking flask culture under optimal conditions, and
purified to homogeneity from the soluble lysate via metal affinity chromatography.
Results:We identified E. coli BL21(AI), SHuffle T7, and C41(DE3) as good producers of recombinant λ-exo
and determined optimal conditions (30 ˚C, 6 h post-induction) for high-yield expression. The enzyme was
eluted from Ni2+-IDA-Sepharose 6B column in 300 mM imidazole and maintained its activity upon purification
assessed by an in-house developed fluorescence-based screening assay.
Conclusion: This study provides a scalable cost-effective approach for soluble λ-exo production in selected
E. coli strains. This expression system would be a helpful platform for development of high-yield
production of λ-exo, easing its exploitation in biotechnology and other scientific frontiers. Additionally,
we provided a valuable low-cost screening assay for monitoring exonuclease activity during each purification
step.

The aligned sequencesincluded several different well-aligned segments, which were as follows: 18 single-amino acidsegments, 13 two-amino acid segments, 10 three-amino-acid segments, 1 four-amino acidsegment, 1 six-amino acid segment and 1 eight-amino acid segment. Additionally, at position238, which is adjacent to a highly conserved His237, the most common amino acids wereF,T, S, Y, W, L and G, whereas at position 159, the most common amino acids were W, H, I andL, flanked by a conserved three- and eight-amino acid region. These positions seem to becritical for the improvement of the PET hydrolytic activity based on the comparison ofI. sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F and wt enzyme.Using AlphaFold 2.0 we have predicted the structures of all enzymes available in the databasewhose structures haven't been previously reported and the presence of the α/β hydrolasemotif has been observed.

AB  - Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used plastic material. Due to its convenient physicochemical properties, it has become irreplaceable in many scientific, industrial, medical and everyday uses, leading to an accumulation of this material in the environment and initiating many ecological problems, especially in marine ecosystems. One of the solutions for overcoming this  ecological threat may be found in recombinantly produced PET degrading enzymes.
The genes encoding proteins with prominent PET hydrolyzing activity (PETases) that have been successfully produced in Escherichia coli are commercially available (Addgene #112203 and #162667). These genes encode Ideonella sakaiensis PETase mutant W159H/S238F, and the fusion of the wild-type enzyme to MHETase (I. sakaiensis mono-(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalic acid hydrolyzing enzyme).
Initially, we have done sequence alignment by ClustalW of the sequences corresponding to the entries available in the PAZy database (pazy.eu/doku.php) that contains information on many PET-degrading enzymes. We have identified amino acid substitutions that might be of interest for mutation towards improving the PET hydrolytic activity of IsPETase: at position W159 substitutions into H, I and L and at position S238 substitutions into F, T, Y, W, L and G. Since we are aiming to produce all of the abovementioned (double) mutants, we used different bioinformatic tools to predict the expression solubility of the mutated enzymes. To evaluate the accuracy of the available tools we have tested the expression levels and solubility of IsPETase W159H/S238F and IsPETase-MHETase fusion in E. coli. The IsPETase W159H/S238F protein was expressed fully soluble only at 20 oC, whereas the larger (~92 kDa) IsPETase-MHETase fusion protein was insoluble in all tested conditions. NetSolP (services.healthtech.dtu.dk/services/NetSolP-1.0/) gave the most accurate solubility predictions for the tested proteins and we used it for prediction of the solubility of the aimed mutants.

Initially, we have done sequence alignment by ClustalW of the sequences corresponding to the entries available in the PAZy database (pazy.eu/doku.php) that contains information on many PET-degrading enzymes. We have identified amino acid substitutions that might be of interest for mutation towards improving the PET hydrolytic activity of IsPETase: at position W159 substitutions into H, I and L and at position S238 substitutions into F, T, Y, W, L and G. Since we are aiming to produce all of the abovementioned (double) mutants, we used different bioinformatic tools to predict the expression solubility of the mutated enzymes. To evaluate the accuracy of the available tools we have tested the expression levels and solubility of IsPETase W159H/S238F and IsPETase-MHETase fusion in E. coli. The IsPETase W159H/S238F protein was expressed fully soluble only at 20 oC, whereas the larger (~92 kDa) IsPETase-MHETase fusion protein was insoluble in all tested conditions. NetSolP (services.healthtech.dtu.dk/services/NetSolP-1.0/) gave the most accurate solubility predictions for the tested proteins and we used it for prediction of the solubility of the aimed mutants.",

AB  - Alpha-synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein prone to aggregation and it is involved in the formation of brain tissue amyloids in patients with Parkinson's and other neurodegenerative diseases. By fluorescently labeling recombinantly expressed proteins, the processes of expression and purification of the same can be easily visually monitored. In a previous work, we have constructed three plasmids for the expression of α-synuclein fused C-terminally to His-tagged mCerulean3 through a polyasparagine linker and tobacco etch virus (TEV) proteolytic site. Here we have transformed these vectors into Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and BL21(DE3)pLysS and optimized the expression conditions by response surface methodology (temperature, time after induction, concentration of induction reagent) of the chimeric proteins coded by vectors. Expression of the chimeric protein was tested at optimal conditions in different media and terrific broth gave the highest yield. The obtained chimeric protein was purified by immobilized metal-affinity chromatography (IMAC), yielding ~29 mg of chimeric protein per liter of medium and was shown to be successfully proteolyzed by TEV protease, giving a fragment of α-synuclein of expected electrophoretic mobility. After another round of IMAC, the obtained α-synuclein of native sequence was mainly found to be in the flow-through.

AB  - Alfa-sinuklein je protein zastupljen u nervnom tkivu, dominantno u završecima presinaptičih neurona. Agregati ovog proteina pronađeni su u nervnom tkivu brojnih pacijenata sa bolestima koje se pod jednim imenom označavaju α-sinukleinopatijama, a od kojih je najznačajnija Parkinsonova bolest. Formiranje ovih agregata smatra se usko povezanim sa etiologijom ove bolesti i zbog toga je značajno proizvesti i prečistiti ovaj protein u velikim količinama u cilju in vitro, a potencijalno i in vivo istraživanja. Koristeći komercijalni vektor pDUET-1-α-synuclein-mCerulean3-His6, u našoj laboratoriji su prethodnim radom proizvedena tri vektora za ekspresiju α-sinukleina u bakteriji Escherichia coli. U ovom radu je opisana optimizacija uslova ekspresije fluorescentno obeleženog humanog α-sinukleina sa sva tri plazmida transformisanih u sojeve E. coli BL21(DE3), odnosno BL21(DE3)pLysS, a koristeći metodologiju odzivne površine (RSM). Kombinacija plazmida i soja koja je pokazala najveći nivo ekspresije upotrebljena je za ekspresiju proteina od interesa na velikoj skali. Takođe, pokazano je da se dobijeni himerni protein nakon prečišćavanja imobilizovanom metal-afinitetnom hromatografijom može specifično hidrolizovati TEV proteazom. Nakon toga, α-sinuklein nativne sekvence dobijen proteolizom je grubo prečisćen ponovljenom metal-afinitetnom hromatografijom. Pokazano je i da prilikom zagrevanja himernog proteina ne dolazi do njegove značajne denaturacije i taloženja, što se može upotrebiti za postizanje značajnog prečišćenja jednim dodatnim korakom.

Da bi se ispitale priroda ovog proteina i njegove oligomerizacije in vitro potrebne su velike količine prečišćenog proteina. U ovom radu opisana je konstrukcija vektora za ekspresiju humanog  α-sinukleina fluorescentno obeleženog mCerulean3 proteinom sa His6, odnosno His8 tagom i uvedenim proteolitičkim mestom za TEV proteazu, koji nakon digestije oslobađa  α-sinuklein sa nativom N-terminalnom aminokiselinom, a polazeći od komercijalno dostupnog pDUET-A- α-sinuclein-mCerulean3 vektora. Za dobijanje ekspresionog konstrukta, prvo je sintetisan insert PCR-om iz više ciklusa, nakon čega su PCR proizvodi subklonirani u pET-20b vektor, a zatim prebačeni u pDUET vektor. Sekvenca inserta u dobijenim konstruktima je potvrđena sekvenciranjem sa opdgovarajućim prajmerima.
