Title Nanodisc assembly and its application in the structural and functional studies of membrane protein complexs
Abstract
Nanodisc assembly comprising phospholipids (PL) and membrane scaffold proteins (MSP) represents a new platform for the study of the membrane proteins. Utilising the protection of nanodiscs membrane protein complexes can be transferred from solution into the gas phase offering an exciting opportunity for their structural and functional investigation. Based on this concept our overall aim is to incorporate the two enzymes involved in the biogenesis of astaxanthin, CrtW and CrtZ, into nanodiscs for subsequent mass spectrometric analysis, and to correlate the biosynthetic activity with the stoichiometry, interaction and conformational stability of the multienzyme assembly. To the end in this thesis I have carried out a systematic study on the in vivo production of lycopene, the precursor of astaxanthin, and explored various conditions for the optimization of the system: first a lycopene producing plasmid,pLyc,was introduced into E.coli DH5α by chemical transformation. Chloramphenicol was used to screenthe positive transformants. Product of the transformed strain was extracted and its absorption curve detected by a UV-visible spectrophotometer. Using the lycopene standard as a reference we were able to identify the product of the transformed strain. We then explored growth of the transformant and lycopene production under different culture conditions. The growth curves were plotted which enabled us to deduce the most suitable environment for the growth and expression. By establishing the qualitative and quantitative methods for lycopene, these experiments form the basis for the activity assay for the assembly of astaxanthin-producing unit, incorporated in vitro into nanodiscs.
