Pyrococcus furiosus • • Optimal growth at 100°C (range 70-105°C) • • Genome is 1.908 Mb and fully sequenced • 2,197 putative single open reading frames (sORFs) • All ORFs were cloned N-terminal His-Tag vector Transmembrane Domain(TMD) prediction programs:PRED-TMR2, TSEG, SOSUI Signal sequence prediction programs: SignalP, SOSUI, TargetP TMDs by PRED-TMR2 1,782 - no TMDs (80%) 452 - TMDs (20%) 139 - 1 TMD (6%) 313 - > 1 TMD (14%) Signal Sequences by SignalP 389 - SS (18%) TMDs + Signal Sequences 271 - both (12%)
Transporter related ORFs in P. furiosus predicted by TransportDB Total transporter related ORFs : 195 ORFs (103 transporters)
Fifty ORFs that did not expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) were introduced into C41(DE3) and C43(DE3)
SSE test of membrane associated protein (Project 28) • All selected 50 genes were not expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) in SSE or LSE * * * TMD avg = average of TMDs predicted by three different TMD prediction program (TSEG, SOSUI,PRED-TMR2) ** Expression was detected by ELISA
12 ORFs were selected and expressed in 30 ml culture 12 ORFs were selected and expressed in 30 ml culture 83.3% SDS-PAGE 10 proteins were expressed in 30 ml culture 6 ORFs were selected and fractionated from membrane 33.3% SDS-PAGE 2 proteins were expressed in membrane fraction (Overall success rate ≈ 14%) Mid scale expression test of membrane proteins 50 ORFs were expressed in C41 and C43 50.0% ELISA SSE (Small scale expression, 1 ml culture) 25 proteins showed positive signals in C41 and C43 strains (4 different conditions)
SSE * of membrane proteins (Project 29 & 30) 178 proteins that have 3 TMDs at least were selected and expressed in 30ml scale Project 29 Project 30 * Expression was detected by ELISA 178 membrane proteins 32 proteins were expressed (17%)

Conclusions • C41(DE3) and C43(DE3) are useful host for membrane protein expression and C43(DE3) is better than C41(DE3). • Membrane proteins were purified using the “crystallography-favored” detergent, octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (OG). • 3. If membrane proteins were sufficiently expressed in membrane, three can be purified within a week. • Work in progress • 1. Membrane proteins with signal peptide • expression in C-terminal His-tag vector • 2. Optimization of expression condition • Autoinduction media and optimization of fermentation condition • 3. Membrane protein complex • Coexpression of membrane protein complex
