Popis: Proteoglycan-like (PG) domain of carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is a small-sized acidic domain (8.3 kDa; pI ~ 3.5) with a very unusual amino acid composition. More than one third of its sequence consists of acidic amino acids and it contains no aromatic residues. It has been revealed that it holds one of the key roles in oncogenetic mechanisms, in which CA IX participates. However, it has not been structurally characterized yet. With these prospects, we developed an expression system of recombinant PG domain production in the form of a fusion protein using thioredoxine (Trx) as the fusion partner in Escherichia coli. We performed three steps during purification process utilizing affinity chromatography, anion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration; and the highest purity we reached was 93.7% with protein concentration 23.3 mg/L. Hypothetical yield of the recombinant protein would be 0.581 mg/L of culture. The applicability of the fusion protein Trx-PG for further structural studies was confirmed by in silico structure prediction tool and ELISA.
