Ribose Binding Protein NNK Sequence for Darwin-Assembly

This part is the library version of the Ribose Binding Protein (RBP, part BBa_K3900001). The library was created using the Darwin Assembly. [1]

The Darwin Assembly allows the mutation of single amino acids by introduction of randomized bases. We took the RBP sequence, which we also used in the computational protein design, as basis for the library creation.

Therefore, we cloned the gene into the plasmid pJOE5751.1 by Gibson assembly and created ssPlasmids by nicking one strand with Nt.BspQI and digesting it with Exonuclease III. The RBP-sequence is flanked by a 5´-biotin-marked and a 3´-nuclease and polymerase-protected oligonucleotid that bind the RBP gene on both ends in the same orientation. NNK-oligonucleotids bind at the positions of the amino-acids of interest. Using a Phusion polymerase and Taq ligase, RBPs with randomly exchanged target triplets are created. Those can be purified using paramagnetic streptavidin beads that bind the biotin at the 5´-end of the fragments [2].

While still being bound to the streptavidin beads the fragments are amplified using PCR and then inserted into the plasmid backbone pJOE5751.1 via Gibson Assembly. This plasmid is then transformed into cells that contain the signaling cascade plasmid with an antibiotic-resistance instead of GFP. In the last step positive mutated clones are selected on agar that contains an antibiotic and one of the chemicals we want to test. Thereby, only mutants with a functional receptor, which is able to bind the given chemical, survive (Figure 1).

Figure 2: The plasmid pJOE5751.1 (backbone black, RBP-sequence red) is nicked by the nicking endonuclease Nt.BspQI (at the cyan dot) and then digested by Exonuclease III, creating a single strand plasmid.(1) Different oligonucleotides of the same orientation bind at the ssplasmid (2.1), complementary fragments are created by the Phusion polymerase and ligated by the Taq ligase (2.2). The 5´-biotin labeled end of the created single strand binds streptavidin coated paramagnetic beads (3) and the fragments are amplified using PCR (4). The double stranded fragments are then cloned into a pJOE5751.1 backbone via Gibson-Assembly (5.1). The library plasmid is transformed into E. coli that contain the signaling cascade plasmid with an antibiotic resistance instead of GFP, harboring a selection system to receive only functional mutants (5.2).
