Goal • Goal:Evaluate high throughput methods for the cloning, expression and solubility analysis of secretory/periplasmic proteins and soluble domains of membrane proteins. • Evaluate success rate from expression to crystal structure • Identify obstacles or components that require improvement • Determine suitability for incorporation into the MCSG pipeline Helical membrane proteins Secretory and periplasmic proteins Oligo program Target groups Informatics and expression tools HT methods/screens NIGMS PSI Protein Production and Crystallization Workshop, March 28, 2004
Experimental Approach Bacillus subtilis – domain set • SignalP used to identify signal sequences • First 70 amino acids • HMM and NN options • TMHMM for membranes spanning segments • Filtered for size and methionine content • 205 targets. • First pass (pMCSG7 vector) • Standard HT methods used for cytoplasmic targets NIGMS PSI Protein Production and Crystallization Workshop, March 28, 2004

Summary • Secretory/periplasmic proteins and low complexity helical membrane protein are targets for SG pipelines. • Optimization • Improved methods for prediction of signal sequences and the boundaries of the soluble domains of helical membrane proteins (i.e. specifically determine the N- and C-terminus of the domains) • Tool development • Need to evaluate alternative strategies such as periplasmic expression systems or the incorporation of fusion tags to enhance.
