C3

This part codes for hydrophilic elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) fused with triple SpyCatcher sequences, through polymerization by covalent bonding between SpyTag and SpyCatcher, forming polymeric scaffolds.

We first cloned C3 into the PQE-80L , constructed PQE-80L-C3 and expressed the recombinant protein in E. coli BL21(DE3) using Terrific Broth medium and 2xYT medium. After incubation at 20℃ overnight or 37℃ for 4h, respectively, we found that C3 expression level in the supernatant was very low, and no obvious bands were found at 54.5KDa As shown in Fig. 9b-c. Considering the weak strength of the T5 promoter, we cloned C3 into a vector containing a stronger T7 promoter.
