  3. On the stability of proteins… “There are no unstable proteins, only unstable biochemists…” Irwin C. Gunsalus

  4. Mammalian desaturases • Add double bonds to long-chain fatty acids • Help to control membrane composition • Numerous diseases associated with primary lipid metabolism

  5. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase complex • A highly regulated enzyme required for biosynthesis of mono-unsaturated fatty acids • cyt b5 reductase, full-length cyt b5, SCD • Implicated in obesity, diabetes, heart disease, skin disorders, etc

  6. pVP56 expression of fl-cytb5 • Expression of the soluble, non-functional domain as His8-tagged protein • Full-length His8 and His8-MBP variants were tested • Also applied to soluble domain of flavin-containing cytb5 reductase

  7. In situ delivery of functional fl-cytb5

  8. Liposome floating method Sobrado, Goren, James, Amundsen, Fox. Protein Express Purif 58, 229-241, (2008).

  9. Stearoyl-CoA desaturases • Two isoforms in humans • Tissue-specific expression • Polytopic membrane proteins • 8-His motif • Diiron active site

  10. Strittmatter’s heroic effort Strittmatter, Spatz, Corcoran, Rogers, Setlow, Redline. PNAS, 71, 4565-4569 (1974). • Fifty well-fed, 30-day old Sprague-Dawley rats were starved, then fed, then starved… • Livers were sliced, diced, spun, soaped, salted, filtered, mashed, washed, and… • After 14 days in the cold room, ~5 mg of pure mSCD1 was obtained

  11. Regulated expression of SCD in vivo • Control points in yeast • Transcriptional • Translational • Post-translational • Proteosome degradation • Best expression by Western blotting, is ~100 ng/mL

  12. An alternative, cell-free translation • White dots show creatine kinase, 700 µg/mL in the soluble fraction • Stars show membrane desaturases from pellets re-suspended to equal volume • Estimated yield 0.2 - 2.6 mg/mL by Caliper electrophoresis • Co-fractionation with Hsp70?

  13. What about wheat germ lysate?

  14. Cell-free translation with additives

  15. Translation of fl-cytb5 with liposomes

  16. Translation of hSCD1 with liposomes

  17. Combining hSCD1 and cytb5-fl Addition of purified cytb5-fl to lysate Co-translation

  18. Enzymatic activity

  19. A recent SCD topology model, annotated Man, Miyazaki, Chu and Ntambi. JBC. 281, 1251-1260 (2006).

  20. A recent SCD topology model, annotated Man, Miyazaki, Chu and Ntambi. JBC. 281, 1251-1260 (2006). Sobrado, Kaul, and Fox, in preparation.

  21. Summary • Wheat-germ cell free translation gives high level expression of a difficult class of proteins • Expressed proteins are transferred to liposomes with high efficiency, possibly with some biological assistance • There are many simple options available for the assembly of multi-protein complexes • Catalytic function has been demonstrated for human SCD1, an important biomedical complex
