Abstract

Recently identified Ciona intestinalis voltage sensor-containing phosphatase (Ci-VSP) consists of an ion channel-like transmembrane domain (VSD) and a phosphatase-like domain. Ci-VSP senses the change of membrane potential by its VSD and works as a phosphoinositide phosphatase by its phosphatase domain. In this study, we present the construction of His-tagged phosphatase-like domain of Ci-VSP, its recombinant expression and purification, and its enzymatic activity behavior in order to examine the biochemical behavior of phosphatase domain of Ci-VSP without interference. We found that Ci-VSP(248-576)-His can be eluted with an elution buffer containing 25 mM NaCl and 100 mM imidazole during His-tag purification. In addition, we found the proper measurement condition for kinetics study of Ci-VSP(248-576)-His against p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP). We measured the kinetic constant of Ci-VSP(248-576)-His at $37^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0 or 5.5, under 30 min of reaction time, and less than $2.0\;{\mu}g$ of protein amount. With these conditions, we acquired that Ci-VSP(248-576)-His has $K_m$ of $354{\pm}0.143\;{\mu}M$, $V_{max}$ of $0.0607{\pm}0.0137\;{\mu}mol$/min/mg and $k_{cat}$ of $0.359{\pm}0.009751\;min^{-1}$ for pNPP dephosphorylation. Therefore, we produced a pure form of Ci-VSP(248-576)-His, and this showed a higher activity against pNPP. This purified protein will provide the road to a structural investigation on an interesting protein, Ci-VSP.

최근에 Ciona intestinalis에서 확인된 막 전위 감지 탈인산화 효소는 이온 채널과 유사한 막 통과 도메인과 유사 탈인산화 효소 도메인으로 이루어져 있다. 이 Ci-VSP는 그 막 통과 도메인에 의해 막 전위 변화를 감지하고 유사 탈인산화 효소에 의해 인산화된 이노시틸 인지질들에 대한 탈인산화 활성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 6개의 히스티딘이 융합된 Ci-VSP의 유사 탈인산화 효소 도메인의 발현 시스템 구축을 추구하였다. 그래서 본 논문은 그 시스템의 구축과 발현 그리고 정제 조건 확립, 마지막으로 그 효소 동력학적인 활성을 pNPP에 대한 검토한 결과를 보고한다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 Ci-VSP(248-576)-His 단백질 발현 및 정제시에 다른 단백질들의 정제 조건과 다르게 25 mM NaCl과 100 mM 정도의 이미다졸이 필요함을 확인하였다. 정제된 단백질을 가지고 탈인산화 효소의 대표적인 기질인 pNPP를 이용하여 그 동력학적인 상수 측정을 시도한 결과 정상 상태 동력학 측정 조건으로 온도 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0 내지 5.5, 반응 시간 30분 이내, 반응 단백질 양 $2.0\;{\mu}g$ 이내가 적합하다는 점을 알게 되었다. 이러한 확립된 조건을 토대로 pNPP에 대한 동력학적 상수를 측정한 결과 $K_m$ 값은 $354{\pm}0.143\;{\mu}M$이며 $V_{max}$는 $0.0607{\pm}0.0137\;{\mu}mol$/min/mg이며 $k_{cat}$ 값은 $2.359{\pm}0.009751\;min^{-1}$인 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 Ci-VSP(248-576)-His의 순도 높은 정제 결과와 pNPP에 대한 높은 활성 보임을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 향후 Ci-VSP에 대한 구조적인 연구 등을 포함하는 다양한 생화학적인 연구가 수행되리라 본다.
