Production of proteins from Pyrococcus furiosus, C. elegans and human Mike Adams, Ming Luo and Harry Dailey of Southeast Collaboratory for Structural Genomics (SECSG) B.-C.

Pyrococcus furiosus - Model Procaryotic Genome (small genome size, evolutionary position) Hyperthermophilic archaeon (archaebacterium) Genome of 1.9 Mb, encoding 2,236 ORFs 45% “known” (show similarity to characterized proteins) 45% unknown/hypothetical, 10% unique to Pfu Targets? All 2,236 ORFs - include representatives of most/all protein types (?) Generate functional proteins for structural analyses Correlate structural data with functional analyses (microarray, two hybrid, metabolic, biochemical, etc.) of native organism
Not all ORFs are created equal! (expression-wise) Classification of ~2,200 ORFs of P. furiosus * ** * 1/3rd of all proteins contain metals? ** 23% of ORFs have transmemb. helices *** Approx. 600 mORFs ***

Project 11 - Large Scale Expression (1 liter) (represented in 96 well format) 60 of 89 (67%) clones produce protein on large scale using 4 conditions
Project 11 - Large Scale Expression (1 liter) 60 of 89 (67%) original clones produce protein on large scale using 4 different conditions
Project 11 - ORF Classification (InterPro) 59/94 (63%) of ORFs ‘unknown’ InterPro:Integrated resource of protein families, domains and motifs. Includes SWISS-PROT, PROSITE, PRINTS, ProDom, Pfam, SMART and TIGRFAMs (www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/). Putative metal binding motifs are mainly Cys-X-X-Cys.
Quality Control/Characterization Purity - SDS-PAGE analysis (≥ 95%) Yield - for crystal and NMR screen (0.5 ml of ≥ 0.3 mM) Metal Content - ICP-MS (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, etc.) Identity - Mass spectrometry
Metal Analysis ICP-MS (ppb): Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Cd, Mg, W, Mn, Mo ‘Positive’ considered > 0.1 atoms/monomer
Metal leaching from affinity columns: Ni vs. Co Co contamination common, Ni contamination rare(?)
