Fusion Protein of S-Layer SbpA and mCitrine
+
 
+
S-layers (crystalline bacterial surface layer) are crystal-like layers consisting of multiple protein monomers and can be found in various (archae-)bacteria. They constitute the outermost part of the cell wall. Especially their ability for self-assembly into distinct geometries is of scientific interest. At phase boundaries, in solutions and on a variety of surfaces they form different lattice structures. The geometry and arrangement is determined by the C-terminal self assembly-domain, which is specific for each S-layer protein. The most common lattice geometries are oblique, square and hexagonal. By modifying the characteristics of the S-layer through combination with functional groups and protein domains as well as their defined position and orientation to eachother (determined by the S-layer geometry) it is possible to realize various practical applications ([http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1574-6968.2006.00573.x/full Sleytr ''et al.'', 2007]).
+
 
+
 
+
===Usage and Biology===
+
 
+
S-layer proteins can be used as scaffold for nanobiotechnological applications and devices by e.g. fusing the S-layer's self-assembly domain to other functional protein domains. It is possible to coat surfaces and liposomes with S-layers. A big advantage of S-layers: after expressing in ''E. coli'' and purification, the nanobiotechnological system is cell-free. This enhances the biological security of a device.
+
 
+
This fluorescent S-layer fusion protein is used to characterize purification methods and the S-layer's ability to self-assemble on surfaces. It is also possible to use the characteristic of mCitrine as a pH indicator ([http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/bm901071b Kainz ''et al.'', 2010]).

===Expression in ''E. coli''===
+
 
+
The SbpA gene under the control of a T7 / lac promoter (<partinfo>K525403</partinfo>) was fused to mCitrine ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J18931 BBa_J18931]) using Freiburg BioBrick assembly for characterization experiments.
+
 
+
The SbpA|mCitrine fusion protein was overexpressed in ''E. coli'' KRX after induction of T7 polymerase by supplementation of 0.1 % L-rhamnose and 1 mM IPTG using the autoinduction protocol by Promega.
+
 
+
[[Image:Bielefeld_2011_405_Growthcurve.png|600px|center|thumb| '''Figure 1: Growth curve of ''E. coli'' KRX expressing the fusion protein of SbpA and mCitrine with and without induction, cultivated at 37 °C in autoinduction medium with and without inductor, respectively. A curve depicting KRX wildtype is shown for comparison. After induction at approximately 4 h the OD<sub>600</sub> of the induced K525405  drops slightly when compared to the uninduced culture. Both cultures grow significantly slower than KRX wildtype.''']]

A curve depicting KRX wildtype is shown for comparison. After induction at approximately 4 h the RFU to OD<sub>600</sub> ratio starts to rise in the induced culture. Compared to the uninduced culture the ratio is roughly three times higher. The KRX wildtype shows no variation in the RFU to OD<sub>600</sub> ratio.''']]
+
 
+
 
+
===Purification of SbpA fusion protein===
+
 
+
As seen in the analysis of the cultivations with expression of SbpA&nbsp;|&nbsp;mCitrine fusion proteins, these proteins form inclusion bodies in ''E. coli''. Inclusion bodies have the advantage that they are relatively easy to clean-up and are resistant to proteases. So the first purification step is to solve and set-free the inclusion bodies. This step is followed by two filtrations (300 kDa UF and 100 kDa DF/UF) to further concentrate and purify the S-layer proteins. After the filtrations, the remaining protein solution is dialyzed against ddH<sub>2</sub>O for 18 h at 4 °C in the dark. The dialysis leads to a precipitation of the water-insoluble proteins. After centrifugation of the dialysate the water-soluble S-layer monomers remain in the supernatant and can be used for recrystallization experiments.
+
 
+
[[Image:Bielefeld-Germany2011-305_405-Aufreinigung_symbol.png|800px|center]]
+
 
+
The fluorescence of some collected, important fractions of this purification strategy is shown in the following figure 3:
+
 
+
[[Image:Bielefeld-Germany2011-405-purificationfractions.jpg|700px|center|thumb|Fig. 3: '''Fluorescence of collected fractions during purification of <partinfo>K525405</partinfo> fusion protein. Abbreviations: pell.: pellet, s.n.: supernatant, ret.: retentate, perm.: permeate.''']]
+
 
+
A lot of protein is lost during the purification especially after centrifugation steps (compared to filtrations). The fluorescence in the urea containing fractions is lowered due to denaturation of the fluorescent protein. This purification strategy is very simple and can be carried out by nearly everyone in any lab being one first step to enable real do it yourself nanobiotechnology.
+
 
+
 
+
===Alternative purification strategy===
+
 
+
Sometimes the inclusion body purification does not give very clean fractions. That's why we developed another purification strategy for <partinfo>K525405</partinfo> monomers after inclusion body purification. This strategy consists of a capture with an IEX chromatography followed by a purification with HIC chromatography. Because of issues with the PES membranes we used to rebuffer our samples (see below - PES binds most of the S-layers) we lost a lot of our proteins in this step between the two chromatographies. So there was not enough protein left to stain it with Coomassie in a SDS-PAGE and time ran out to perform a silver staining. The fluorescence measurements of the collected fractions of the chromatographies are shown in the figures below.
+
 
+

A 1 mL HighTrap DEAE sepharose column by GE Healthcare was used for purification.

Abbreviations: FT = flow through, E = elution. ''']]
+
 
+
===Immobilization behaviour===
+
 
+
After purification, solutions of monomeric SbpA S-layer proteins can be recrystallized and immobilized on silicon dioxide beads in recrystallization buffer (0.5 mM Tris-HCl, pH 9, 10 mM CaCl<sub>2</sub>). After the recrystallization procedure the beads are washed with and stored in ddH<sub>2</sub>O at 4 °C in the dark. The fluorescence of the collected fractions of  recrystallization experiments with <partinfo>K525405</partinfo> are shown in Fig. 6. 100 mg beads were coated with 100 µg of protein. The figure shows, that not all of the protein is immobilized on the beads (supernatant fraction) but the immobilization is pretty stable (very low fluorescence in the wash). After the immobilization, the beads show a high fluorescence indicating the binding of the SbpA | mCitrine fusion protein. 
+
 
+

+
 
+
 
+
====Optimal bead to protein ratio for immobilization====
+
 
+
To determine the optimal ratio of silica beads to protein for immobilization, the degree of clearance ϕ<sub>C</sub> in the supernatant is calculated and plotted against the concentration of silica beads used in the accordant immobilization experiment (compare Fig. 7):
+
 
+
 
+
[[Image:Bielefeld-Germany2011-degreeofclearanceformula.png|150px|center]] <div align="right">(1)</div>
+
 
+
 
+
The data was collected in three independent experiments. The fluorescence of the samples was measured in the supernatant of the immobilization experiment after centrifuging the silica beads. The fluorescence of the control was measured in a sample which was treated exactly like the others but no silica beads were added. 100 µg protein were used for one immobilization experiment. The data was fitted with a sigmoidal dose-response function of the form.

+
 
+

+
 
+
 
+
with the Hill coefficient p, the bottom asymptote A1, the top asymptote A2 and the switch point log(x<sub>0</sub>) (R² = 0.997).
+
 
+
The fit indicates that a good silica concentration for 100 µg of protein is 200 - 250 mg mL<sup>-1</sup>. This set-up leads to saturated beads with low waste of protein. So a good protein / bead ratio to work with is 7 - 9 * 10<sup>-4</sup>.
