ttpA-his

Biology

TTPA is the phage tail tubular protein A of podophage 7. TTPA can interact with Vp0980, which acts as the receptor of TTPA on the surface of Vibrio parahaemolyticus. TTPA’s binding to Vp0980 mediates phage absorption and subsequent bacterial lysis (1).

Usage and design

A His-Tag (6×His) was added to the C-terminal of TTPA for purifying this protein. Arabinose-inducible system was used in the expression circuit at pSB1C3 then composite part BBa_K4195111 was obtained. We transformed the plasmid into E. coli SHuffle T7 to obtain the protein for further biochemical characterizations.

Characterization

Identification

After the first time of purification, we found that the protein was poorly expressed, so we cloned this part into the expression vector pET-28a(+), then transformed the correct plasmid into E. coli BL21(DE3). When constructing this circuit, colony PCR and gene sequencing were used to verify that the transformatants were correct. Target bands (764 bp) can be observed at the position around 750 bp.(Fig. 1)

SDS-PAGE

The plasmids verified by sequencing was successfully transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). After being cultivated and induced by IPTG, GE AKTA Prime Plus FPLC System was employed to get purified protein from the lysate supernatant. Purified protein was verified by sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-12% (wt/vol) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and Coomassie blue staining. As shown in the gel image of TTPA-his (Fig. 2), the bands of target protein (22.4 kDa) could be observed at the position around 20 kDa on the purified protein lanes (FR).

Western blot

This year, we shared deep collaborations with a first-year team, CUG-China. With the help of them for offering the operation of western blot, we could confirm that the TTPA-his was expressed indeed (Fig. 3), after struggling to obtain the purified protein for several rounds mentioned above.
