pQE-80L-C3

The composite part was constructed to find an appropriate expression intensity to achieve balance between metabolic burden and detection efficiency. Moreover, we hope our C3, which can be found under https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K4613012, can be expressed successfully in E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). We tried T5 lac promoter from pQE-80L.

C3, fused hydrophilic elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) with triple SpyCatcher sequences, through polymerization by covalent bonding between SpyTag and SpyCatcher, forming polymeric scaffolds. If you want to learn about the detailed introduction of ELPs, you can click the link below. https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K4613010

We used ELPs as the backbone of the monomers. Each monomer was fused with 3 SpyTags or 3 SpyCatchers. The polymerization between T3 and C3 can proceed efficiently under multiple conditions.

Fig. 1 Formation of Spy Network. (a) Gene circuit. (b) The polymerization between these two types of monomers.

We predicted the structure of C3. We have to rely on I-TASSER's online server to perform structure prediction on C3 using the folding recognition method. We select the result that is ranked first as our prediction.


Fig. 2 C3 protein predected by I-TASSER.

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 4 h, 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. 3 b-c. Considering the weak strength of the T5 promoter, we cloned C3 into a vector containing a stronger T7 promoter.
