Abstract
This laboratory investigation was carried out at the Faculty of Sciences, Mahidol University, Thailand during October 2007 to May 2009. The objectives of this study include: the search for heterologous expression of the cytochrome P450 CYP6AA3 enzyme ofthe Anopheles minimus mosquitoes in relation to Malaria disease and to provide some information on molecular mechanism of insects' pyrethroid resistance. The polymerase chain reaction aided by the P fu DNA polymerase and some specific generated primers were used to modify the CYP6AA3 gene. The PCR product was ligated with a predigested pET-3a at the Ndel and BamHI restriction sites. The modified CYP6AA3 enzyme was expressed in the Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS in order to achieve a high amount of soluble form of its expression. The results showed that the use of the isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and incubation together with ferric chloride and oδ-aminolevulinic acid did not increase any soluble form of the CYP6AA3 enzyme. A significant amount of soluble enzyme was produced upon the replacement of the 30 N-terminal residues with a short peptide where it gave Lδ30CYP6AA3 protein and after purification process was taken place, it yielded up to 10.64 mg 10 L -1 or approximately 1 mg L -1 of the homogenous LΔ30CYP6AA3. When this purified LΔ30CYP6AA3 protein was used in a metabolizing process with the Cypermethrin, deltamethrin and permethrin substrates, it gave their apparent K m values for Cypermethrin and deltamethrin of 12.5 and 23.5 μ, respectively. The heterologous expression carried out with the use of the E. coli gave a high amount of soluble CYP6AA3 enzyme of the An. minimus mosquitoes hence the modified technique being used was successfully achieved. © 2011 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
