Research Abstract |
In order to investigate the amino acid residues in apo-NCS involving the binding with the NCS-chr, the amino acid-substituted apo-NCS mutants (S98C, S98G, S98T and S98A) were prepared. The binding of the non-natural chromophore, EtdBr, with the each mutated apo-NCS was evaluated by the monitoring for the total fluorescence intensity and fluorescence polarization. The S98G mutant had the best binding property compared with another apo-NCS. The result suggested that the strategy of the substitution for the proper amino acid residues in apo-NCS could be expected to create supernatural apo-NCS. The randomized libraries were successfully prepared using the megaprimer PCR mutagenesis, the overlap extension PCR mutagenesis with dam methylase / DpnI digestion method. The mutated amino acids were total 14, and their sites were region A (49-52, PADF), region B (76-80, FLFDG), and region C (94-98, QVGLS), which are involving the binding with NCS-chr. The randomized library was successfully inserted into the vector DNA for the phage display, and performed a screening using bio-panning method against the glycyrrhetic acid conjugated bovine serum albumin (GA-BSA), and then isolated the clones which had a specific binding property to the GA-BSA. Hereafter, the detail structure analysis will be investigated for the isolated clones.
