Usage
Aqueous two-phase separation (ATPS) is a liquid-liquid fractionation technique effectively used for protein separation and purification[1]. When a protein fuses with a hydrophobin, the hydrophobin changes the hydrophobicity of the protein, which causes the protein to aggregate into the surfactants.
Our team is trying to improve traditional ATPS by incorporating a continuous-flow system and replacing fungal hydrophobins with BslA. Using mHoneydew[2] as target protein can visually observe fluorescent protein (mHoneydew,target protein) showing orange fluorescence in the process of protein expression and two-phase extraction, so as to determine the separation and purification effect.
Biology
Conventional Orange FPs are mainly derived from two parental proteins: Kusabira-Orange (KO) and DsRed. KO was originally isolated from stony coral Fungiaconcinna, which provides bright orange fluorescence to proteins by introducing 10 amino acid residues at its N terminus. Shaner et al. improved mHoneydew and mOrange on the basis of mRFP1, a single molecule variant of DsRed.[3]
Design Consideration
The construct was cloned into a PET28a plasmid and transformed into mHoneydew-PET28a [2] The construction includes: mHoneydew is fused with BslA with a GS linker（GGTGGTGGCGGCAGCGGCGGAGGCGGTAGT） and TEVlinker（GAAAACCTGTACTTCCAGGGTTCTGGT）
Detection of fusion protein function
After the cells of the recombinant strains were induced, centrifuged, and sonicated, the soluble proteins expressed by the strains were all in the supernatant

Aqueous two-phase separation (ATPS) Testing
We used 1×PBS as a blank control, we added isobutanol to the protein supernatant, shaken and let stand for a few minutes until the two phases were clearly separated.
