Usage and Biology

The covalent nature of Tag-Catcher interaction has facilitated the processing of proteins into various materials forms including all-protein-based, chemically cross-linked hydrogels, functional layer-by-layer thin films, hybrid colloidal assemblies, and living materials[1]. The SpyTag/SpyCatcher, SdyTag/SdyCatcher system are convenient protein coupling tools for irreversible peptide-protein ligation. According to papers, Spytag forms a covalent isopeptide bound to its protein partner SpyCatcher derived from Streptococcus pyogenes fibronectin-binding protein[2]. Similarly, SdyTag has a 75-fold specificity for its optimized Catcher, named SdyCatcher derived from a related fibronectin-binding protein in Streptococcus dysgalactiae[3].

Fig1 Structure of SpyTag/SpyCatcher.[2]

Considering that the tag-catcher pairs are ideal for binding and immobilization, our team use them as scaffold of protein assembly. LDH is one of the enzymes fixed on the scaffold to catalyze relevant chemical reaction.

Approach and Result

The part was assembled with T7 promoter, RBS and T7 terminator in pET26b+ plasmid vector. E. coli strain BL21(DE3). After growing to an optical density of 0.6~0.8 at 600 nm, the protein expression was induced with 0.5 mM isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at 25℃. We get the protein product via sonication. With N-terminal His-tag, it can be purified by Ni-beads. [4]

Fig2 SDS-PAGE and Western Blot | A, SDS-PAGE, Lane M1 is protein marker, Lane 1 is BSA (2.00 μg), Lane 2 is SpyCatcher-LDH-SdyTag. B, Western Blot, Lane M2 is protein marker, Lane 3 is SpyCatcher-LDH-SdyTag.

We used BSA Standard Curve to qualifity . The OD595 of SpyCatcher-LDH-SdyTag is 0.509, and its corresponding concentration is 2.40mg/ml.
