Sialidase enzyme coding composite N terminally attached to secretion system type 1

Introduction

Among all of the type I secretion systems, the α-hemolysin(HlyA) secretion system is the best characterized, studied and most used. Also, the type I secretion system is able to transport various molecules, from ions, drugs, to proteins of various sizes (20-900 kDa) (1). Because of these two reasons, we chose to use the α-hemolysin(HlyA) secretion system for the secretion of our enzymes (≈50 kDa).

Usage and Biology

We used an already existing biobrick for HylA E.coli secretion system (BBa_K1166002) to ligate our functional protein from the iGEM 2017 distribution kit in order to secrete the sialidase.

Secretion of Sialidase

The newly cloned plasmid was transformed into E.coli and expression in flask was induced with 0.5 mM IPTG. The enzyme was extracted from the medium using IMAC purification. SDS-PAGE results (figure 1) shows no secretion of a protein resembling the correct size (≈ 55 kDa).

Ligation of sialidase insert into secretion device

Firstly, we removed the stop codon at the end of the sialidase gblock sequence using PCR and thereafter cloned sialidase without the stop codon upstream of the secretion system (BBa_K2235011). To confirm successful cloning, we double digested the plasmid (figure 2). Two bands were observed, one at ~7000 bp, corresponding to the size of T7 promoter-RBS-Sialidase-HylA E.coli secretion system, and one at ~2000 bp, corresponding to the size of the plasmid backbone.

More details to the characterization of Sialidase can be found in the composite part BBa_K2235009.
Following parts constitute the sialidase enzyme:
Basic part BBa_K2235005 consists of the sialidase enzyme coding sequence with a His tag C-terminally attached.
BBa_K2235006 biobrick has the RBS functional unit attached to sialidase part (BBa_K2235005) that can be used to test on various promoters.
BBa_K2235007 biobrick constitutes OmpR fused to sialidase enzyme with RBS (BBa_K2235006).
