First, the gene of GDH and NOX was amplified by PCR. The primers were listed followed:<br/> P1: 5'-CGCCATGGCCCACCACCACCACCACCACCTAAAAGTTATTCAATCTCCAGC-3'<br/> (Forward primer of GDH was added with "CACCACCACCACCACCAC" which encoded six Histidines)<br/> P2: 5'-CCAACAACTGTGACTTTCATACGCGCCAGCCACTGCTGG-3'<br/> P3: 5'-CCAGCAGTGGCTGGCGCGTATGAAAGTCACAGTTGTTGG-3'<br/> P4: 5'-CCGCTCGAGAGCGTTAACTGATTGGG-3'<br/> The plasmid pET32a-GDH and pET32a-NOX was extracted using Plasmid Mini Kit 1 purchased from OMEGA bio-tek.<br/>

<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> pET28a-bis-His tag GDH-NOX plasmid was extracted and digested with NcoI and XhoI to roughly check if the plasmid was correctly constructed. <br/> </p> </html>


<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> It was showed that one digested product was about 2500bp and the other product was above 5000 bp. The result fitted the theoretical length of pET28a-bis-His tag GDH-NOX and pET28a fragment.<br/> pET28a-bis-His tag GDH-NOX plasmid was then sequenced by SANGON BIOTECH using T7 promoter and T7 terminator as primers. Alignments were performed using the program CLUSTAL W.<br/> The plasmid was then transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression of bis-His tag GDH-NOX. <br/></br> <strong>2. Expression and purification of bis-His tag GDH-NOX </strong><br/> Expression of bis-His tag GDH-NOX was induced by IPTG in concentration of 1mM for 4 hours. After induction, E.coli biomass was harvested by centrifugation (8,000 g, 10 min, 4℃) and disrupted by ultrasonication (200W, 5s on, 5s off, 24 times). Debris of bacterial cells were removed by ultracentrifugation at 14,000 g for 15 min at 4℃. <br/> Purification was conducted by AKTA Prime Plus(GE Healthcare).<br/> The crude cell extract was applied on the Histrap HP column (GE Healthcare,5ml). After sample was loaded, the column was washed 20 times of column volume wash buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl, 20 mM imidazole, pH 7.4) and then eluted 5 times of column volume with elution buffer ( 20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M NaCl, 0.5 M imidazole, pH 7.4). The fractions containing pure protein were collected and desalted with PD-10 column (GE Healthcare). The resulting enzyme solution was used for further experiment.<br/> </p> </html>



<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> The size of purified protein was about 110 kDa shown by SDS-PAGE. The protein concentration of bis-His tag GDH-NOX was 90.5 mg/ml. GDH and NOX enzyme activity was 50.5 U/mg and 88.7 U/mg respectively.<br/> </p> </html> <html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> <strong>3. Assembly of enzyme nanoring mediated by nickel ion</strong><br/> <em>3.1 Nickel ion mediated Assembly</em><br/> bis-His tag GDH-NOX obtained from PD-10 desalting column was added with 25 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM nickel sulfate and incubated at 37℃ for 30 min. We found that nickel in these three concentrations can instantly make enzyme solution turning turbid. <br/> </p> </html>


<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> With the addition of nickel sulfate, one bis-His tag GDH-NOX could combine more than two enzyme molecules due to its bis-His tags, while GDH only formed dimers. Therefore, the size of solutes in left vial is larger than that in right vial, the left vial was turbid while the right was transparent.<br/> <em>3.2 Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) analysis</em><br/> To evaluate the effect of nickel sulfate mediated enzyme assembly, DLS was used to measure the size of the assemble structure of bis-His tag GDH-NOX.<br/> Samples with three different nickel sulfate concentrations and a blank sample without nickel sulfate were prepared and analyzed by Zetasizer-Nano ZS90 (Malvern Instruments) for DLS analysis. The figures of size distribution by number were as following.<br/>

* When 100 mM NiSO4 was added, Peak 2 (4451 nm) appeared.<br/>

The result showed that the average size of bis-His tag GDH-NOX was 84.68 nm. Addition of nickel sulfate could assemble bis-His tag GDH-NOX into multi-enzyme complex which had diameter nearly 1μm. As the concentration of nickle sulfate increased, the size of the multi-enzyme complex increased. <br/>

<em>3.3 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis</em><br/> The morphologies of the nanoparticle formed by nickel ion mediated bis-His tag GDH-NOX assembling were observed at different nickel concentrations increasing from 25 mM to 100 mM were observed. The result accorded with the size date from DLS experiment. <br/>

<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> Figure 3.3 and Figure 3.4 suggested that the following mechanism for the formation of enzyme nanoparticle rather than nanoring. Since His-tag has six Histidines then it could combine with more than one nickel ion. In the first step, the ability to combine more nickel ions made it possible for enzyme to assemble together to formed triple or quadruple structure and further formed a enzyme nanoparticle. In the second step, the enzyme nanoparticle could pile up like grape probably through the next step interaction between the His-tag on the surface of the enzyme nanoparticles and free nickel ions.<br/><br/> <strong>4. Tanning experiment</strong><br/> <em>4.1 DHA synthesis by purified enzyme</em><br/> The ability of bis-His tag GDH-NOX to produce DHA was tested for 70 hours. The DHA concentration was monitored and the experimental result was as follows.<br/>

<html> <p style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif,Helvetica,黑体,Helvetica Neue, Microsoft YaHei;font-size:1.3em;line-height:1.3;font-wheight:400;word-spacing:7px;"> After reaction for 57 hours, the highest concentration of DHA was 0.26 mg/ml which was not sufficient for tattoo purposes.<br/> <em>4.2 DHA synthesis by crude enzyme</em><br/> Because crude enzyme often had better stability, crude bis-His tag GDH-NOX was used for DHA synthesis. The DHA yield was higher than that used purified enzyme. <br/>

Several hours after applying enzyme or DHA on tryptone containing filter paper, the tanning pattern could be observed on the filter paper which was applied with 5% DHA. Unfortunately the purified and crude enzyme could not caused an visible change on the filter paper. Some sample patterns (blank runs using 5% DHA during tanning experiments) are shown on the Figure 4.3 , Figure 4.4 and Figure 4.5.<br/>

Reaction condition was 37℃, 200 rpm. </br> <em>4.2 Sunless tanning</em></br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To simulate the DHA tanning on human skin, we need to find a suitable test material which contains amines or amino groups to be reacted with DHA. Tryptone was found to be an inexpensive and convenient material for testing DHA tanning. </br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;First, tryptone was dissolved in H2O with the concentration of 50 g/L. The solution and filter paper was then placed in Petri dish and maintained in 80℃ oven until it formed a layer of solid tryptone. After the tryptone filter paper was ready, DHA solution or enzyme solution contain glycerol and NAD+ was applied on the filter paper and the tanning results were recorded. </br>
