INPNC fused to 6xHis tag

INPNC codes for N- and C- terminal domain of Ice-Nucleation Protein (INP) from Pseudomonas syringae , connected by a 6xHis tag to be easily identified by Western blotting[1]. This is used as an anchoring motif for the cell surface display of passengers. This domain does not have signal peptide for anchoring on the cell surface[2]. Surface displayed passengers retain enzyme activity even when it is linked to INPNC with 6xHis tag.

Usage and Biology


We used this part for construction of BBa_K1933100, BBa_K1933101, BBa_K1933200

Characterization

We improved BBa_K811005 from Penn 2012!!

Western blotting

We added His-tag to BBa_K811005. This addition introduces two new functions to the fusion protein:

First, we can use anti-His tag antibody to detect their surface expression regardless of passenger protein placed downstream. We confirmed this with detections of the INPNC-His-(passenger protein) by Western blotting using anti-His tag antibody. (Fig.1(a))

Second, INPNC-His-(passenger protein) can be purified using His tag’s affinity to nickel columns even in denaturing conditions to recollect it from membrane fractions of E.coli. This would allow fusion protein detection even if the protein’s expression levels are low, further strengthening the first function. We tested this function with Western blotting. Sample was prepared by obtaining the membrane fraction from the E. coli lysate by ultracentrifugation, and solubilized them using 7M guanidine-HCl, then purification of the target protein using Nickel Sepharose. (Fig.1(b))


Figure 1: (a) whole cell Western blotting against His tag. (b) membrane fraction Western blotting against His tag.
Negative Control:BBa_K165002, BclA-His-scFv:33 kDa, INPNC-His-scFv:63 kDa, BclA-His-CBDcex:17 kDa, INPNC-His-CBDcex:47 kDa, Positive control:LPP-OmpA-scFv-His (43 kDa)

These two results confirms the enhanced functions of INPNC parts (BBa_K811005) existing in the iGEM Regisrtry.
