<p class="textojustif"> There are several methods to prove the successful transportation of CelD and SacC to the outer membrane of <i>Escherichia coli</i>. In this project, SDS-PAGE of entire cell culture samples, SDS-PAGE of membrane fraction samples, and measurement of enzyme activity of whole-cell-system without chemical or enzymatic purification have been considered to confirm the presence of active enzymes on the external membrane of <i>E. coli</i> external membrane.

All the insoluble fractions of the transformed strains have a significant amount of a protein that matches the predicted weight of our chimeric construct (100kDa), in comparison to their negative controls (insoluble fraction of wild type lysates)(Figure 1). There is also no significant visual difference between each induced strain; this suggests that any strain is a good host for our construct, letting reduce the number of strains in future research. According to Clontech’s buffer kit user manual, our protein could be trapped in the pellet (insoluble phase) because of its high molecular weight (100kD > 40kD) and because it is a membrane- bound protein that can form multiprotein complexes and as we did not use Clontech’s TALON CellThru for direct purification from crude cell lysates (unclarified cell lysates), which is the solution proposed by the user manual in order to further solubilize proteins. Unclarified cell lysates were not further processed.

<p class="textojustif"> Quantification of fructose was carried out with EnzyChrom Fructose Assay Kit from Medibena BioAssay Systems, which was donated by PhD Fernández. Transformed cell cultures (BL21SI, XL1Blue, C41, C43, Rosetta Gami, and BW27783) are induced with arabinose solution when their OD600 arrive at 0.600. After 30 hours of incubation at 15 °C, the cultures are centrifugated 5 min at 14,000 rpm. Supernatants are diluted with water and 20 uL of each sample is transfered into separate wells of 96-well plate. 56 uL Assay Buffer, 1 uL Enzyme, 14 uL PMS solution and 14 uL MTT solution are mixed and added to each well. After 1 hour of incubation at room temperature the plate is readed at 565 nm. The reaction is specific with fructose, so glucose and other sugar do not interfere. The color intensity is directly proportional to the fructose concentration.

<p class="textojustif"> A visible protein band of the expected molecular wight (62.8 kDa) of the fusion protein (ompA+sacC) could not be confirmed by SDS-PAGE (Figure 5). However, as Lee <i>et al.</i> (2004) have proven, the fusion protein could hardly be detected by Coomassie blue staining as its expression was below the detection level of the method used. Our result may be due to the same reason.

Whole cells of the <i>E. coli</i> strain (BL21SI) +sacC+ompA produced a fructose concentration of 350.71±60.97 µM which is 149.36 µM higher than the negative control cells (Figure 6). A T-test with 2 tails and alpha value of 0.05 was carried out, and the null hypothesis of  "the population means are the same" was rejected, indicating that there is a difference between the fructose concentration in the control strain and those of the sample strains. And although further investigation is required, the evidence we have is a strong indicator that the enzyme is active in the outer membrane of <i>E. coli</i>.
