pQE-80L-T3-MCPA

The composite part was constructed to find an appropriate expression intensity to achieve balance between metabolic burden and detection efficiency. Moreover, we hope Mature Carboxypeptidase A (M-CPA), which can be found under https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K4613013, can be expressed successfully in E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). We tried T5 lac promoter from pQE-80L.

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 54.5 kDa As shown in Fig 1(b-c).

SpyTag and SpyCatcher are a pair of reactive protein partners that can spontaneously react to reconstitute the intact folded CnaB2 domain under mild conditions. Hydrophilic elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) composed of tandem pentapeptides of the form (VPGXG)(n) (where X may be any amino acid except proline) always serve as versatile model systems for biomaterials.

We used ELPs as the backbone of the monomers. Each monomer was fused with 3 SpyTags or 3 SpyCathcers. The polymerization between these two types of monomers can proceed efficiently under multiple conditions. We linked degrading enzymes (M-CPA/ADH3) into the SpyTag monomer to immobilize the enzyme and increase the stability of degrading enzymes.

Fig. 2 Formation of Spy Network. (a)Gene circuit. (b)The polymerization between these two types of monomers.

To verify the combination between T3 and C3, we engineered bacteria expressing T3-YFP (SpyTag-ELPs-SpyTag-ELPs-SpyTag-YFP) and bacteria expressing C3 (SpyCathcer-ELPs-SpyCathcer-ELPs-SpyCathcer). The constructed plasmids were transformed into E. Coli BL21 (DE3) and recombinant proteins were expressed using LB medium.

Purified T3-YFP and C3 were subjected to reactions under predefined time and temperature radients. The proteins after reaction were validated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE), followed by Coomassie brilliant blue staining. A distinct target band can be observed at 130 kDa, demonstrating that T3-YFP (62.4 kDa) and C3 (54.5 kDa) are capable of forming the Spy Network (Fig.3).This reaction can occur at a variety of temperatures and has good reaction characteristics.
