Structure-functional study of electrotransport protein systems
 Tuzhilkin, Roman ; Šulc, Miroslav (advisor) ; Kukačka, Zdeněk (referee)
Electron transport processes are an extremely important field of study in modern biochemistry and structural/functional proteomics. Azurin is one of the most utilised model systems for study of redox and electron transport processes in proteins. We have utilised photo-induced crosslinking (PIXL) to study oligomerization of azurin in solution and the effect of L-2-amino-5,5-azi-hexanoic acid (photo-Met) - a structural photoinducible analogue of canonical amino acid Met - on electron transport processes in azurin. The optimisation of expression conditions of recombinant azurin in auxotrophic E. coli B834 cells was done to maximise photo-Met incorporation percentage in azurin sequence (70% incorporation was measured via MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry). Through the optimisation of purification protocol (example: cell disintegration, acid precipitation of proteins, adding metallic ligand during cell sonication) we have increased the purity and yield of final product and reduced the purification time. Final preparations (wild-type azurin (WT) with Met, WT with photo-Met and "All-Phe" mutant (all Trp/Tyr replaced by Phe) with photo-Met) were exposed to intense UV-light (PIXL) and evaluated via UV-VIS spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE. During PIXL experiment some photo-Mets incorporated into azurin were able to: (i)...
