Part:BBa_K5048058:Experience

Experiments

This part acts as an adhesin that can adhere to HSP60. We also cloned the improved LAP onto the LAP-GST plasmid(K5048066) and Neae-LAP plasmid(BBa_K5048068).

The overall experiments we conducted on BBa_K5048058 include:

1. Verification of transformation of plasmid LAP-6xHis
2. Verification of protein LAP
3. Detection of protein LAP locations
4. Clone LAP onto improved parts

Result

Verification of transformation

To evaluate the functions of the target proteins, we transform the pET-28a-[LAP-His] into strain E. coli BL21(DE3). We conducted colony PCR to verify the transformation(Fig 1). Moreover, The Sanger sequencing conducted by the cooperated company ensures the specific sequence (Fig 2).

Verification of protein LAP

We utilize protein purification resin(Fig 3) and Western Blot (WB)(Fig 4) to detect the Neae protein.

Fig 3 Coomassie Brilliant Blue stained gel image for LAP protein after protein purification resin treatment. LAP protein is expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3), under the induction of 0.1mM IPTG, 25 oC, and 200rpm for 6 hours. LAP protein can be seen in samples of elution buffer2-5, which are marked by dark arrows, with sizes between 100kDa and 130kDa. Samples of non-denaturing wash buffer 1-4 are collected corresponding to the first through fourth pre-treatments of the purification resin. Sample supernatant is collected after the lysate of the non-denaturing wash buffer. Flow-through is collected after the supernatant flows through the purification resin. Samples of elution buffer 1-6 are collected corresponding to the first through sixth washes of elution buffer through the purification resin.

Detection of protein LAP locations

We examine the expression level of LAP in cell supernatant and outer membrane(Fig 5). Although the transcription level of LAP remains low, both of the contents include the LAP.

Applications of BBa_K5048058

Cooperating with protein Neae and HSP60, we make two kinds of engineered bacteria adhere to each other. (Fig 6)
