TEV Cleavage Site x GGGG-Tag for Sortase-mediated Ligation X Superfolder Green Fluorescence Protein

Profile

Name TEV site-polyG-scaffold protein
Base pairs 1028
Molecular weight 27.8 kDa
Origin Tabacco Etch Virus (TEV); Aequorea victoria
Parts T7-Promoter, lac-operator, RBS (g10 leader sequence), TEV protease recognition sequence, polyG, sfGFP, Strep-tag II, T7 terminator
Properties After cleavage by the TEV protease, the polyG tag can be used to fuse sfGFP to the Sortase A recognition sequence(LPTEGG)

Usage and Biology

The TEV protease is cleaving a protein after a specific sequence between Glutamine and Serine or Glycine [1] [2] . We are using this to create a free N-terminal polyG sequence in front of sfGFP so we can use it as substrate in a Sortase A mediated reaction [3] [4] [5] .
sfGFP is a variant of the fluorescence protein GFP that was originally isolated from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria. It has a short maturing time of 13.6 min, has an extinction maximum at 485 nm and an emission maximum at 510 nm. [6] [7]
At the end of the sfGFP a strep tag was added to enable easy protein purification.
The part contains a T7 promoter so it can be transcribed by T7 polymerase, and a lac operator so protein expression can be induced by IPTG.

Methods

Cloning

The fusion protein was cloned into the pACYC2 backbone with Gibson Assembly . To verify the cloning, the sequence was controlled by sanger sequencing by Microsynth Seqlab.

Purification

The protein was heterologously expressed in E. coli BL21 and purified with GE Healthcare ÄKTA FPLC. The used affinity tag was Strep-tag II.

SDS-Page and Western blot

To verify that the CP-LPETGG was produced, a SDS-Page followed by a Western blot was performed.

Results

Cloning and Expression

The successful cloning was proven with sanger sequencing and production with a Western blot.

Figure 1: Western blot of all produced and purified proteins.

Fig. 1 shows that sfGFP with TEV cleavage site has a molecular weight of less than 25 kDa. The expected weight is 27.8 kDa.

Sortase Reactions

The protein was cleaved with TEV protease to ptoduce the N-terminal polyG tag. The cleaved protein was then used in different characterisation assays of different Sortase variants.

VLP modification

The cleaved protein was further used for modification of assembled virus-like particles.
