The lysate was then passed through a 0.45um filter to remove insoluble proteins and cell debris and loaded into Ni-NTA column for His-tag specific protein purification. It was observed that minimal amount of targeted protein was existing in the flowthrough of washing steps (with PBS and low concentration of imidazole), suggesting the binding of the VLP proteins to the nickel ions via the his-tag. This hypothesis was further evidenced by the indentification of a good amount of VLP proteins after the column was washed with imidazole (lane 8). This elute was concentrated 20 times by volume using a 30kDa filter spin column (Merck, USA). Importantly, the <b>HRT2-SP protein did not carry any His-tags and thus if non encapsulated, was smaller than the threshold (<30kDa) of the spin column filter</b>, meaning it could be filtered out.

pT7LacO + P22 + HRT2-SP + T7term
This is a composite part consisting of two CDS: P22 and HRT2-SP protein, placed downstream of pT7-LacO promoter (BBa_K2406020) for inducible overexpression. P22-His (BBa_K5416061) is the bacteriophage P22 mature virion capsid protein fused with a His-tag. The HRT2-SP encodes a truncated cis-prentyltransferase HRT2trunc(BBa_K5416000) derived from H. brasiliensis that is recombined with a scaffold-protein (SP, BBa_K3187021) domain that can interact with the inner surface of the P22 capsid. We report this designed composite part to be capable of forming a virus-like-particle (VLP) as an artificial organelle with a compartmentalized environment for rubber production.
Please be advised that the RBS sequences are inputed as scars infont of the BBa_K5416001 and BBa_K5416061. The entire part is synthesized by de novo DNA synthesis.
We have shown this part to have the following functions:
- Forming purifiable artifical organelle
- Encapsulating enzymes
- Producing hydrophibc internal environment
- Producing small amount of rubber
Background
Virus-like-particle (VLP) is a hollowed, polygonal particle formed from oligomerized virus capsid proteins. It was reported that the bacterial phage P22, can produce solubilized VLPs, where cargos can be encapsulated inside via simple protein-protein interactions (by attaching a scaffold protein to the inner surface of the VLP). Patterson et. al., 2012 demonstrated that enzymes encapsulated through this strategy can access to substrates in the cytosol and maintain their functionality [1][2], where this property was explored in iGEM 2019 by Team:TU_Darmstadt.

Design
Circuit designing
Specific to designing of this composite part, we placed both the P22 capsid and the HRT2-SP protein under a T7-LacO promoter. To overcome the potential cis repression of ribosomal binding sites by forming unwanted RNA hairpin structure in long transcripts of mRNA, the sequences of the two ribosomal binding sites were re-designed using De Novo DNA online designing platform [3] in which the software generates RBS sequences with a known degree of base-pairings according to the local sequences of the mRNA.

Characterization
Protein Expression
Our aims were not only to obtain the evidence of protein production, but also to achieve the successful formation of the VLP that serves as an encapsulating component. For this purpose, we conducted a detailed SDS-PAGE assay to trace the P22 and HRT2-SP throughout the protein production and purification process.

All lanes except lanes 8 and 9 were loaded with 10ul of samples. The P22 capsid protein around 46kDa and HRT2trunc protein around 26kDa were identified with red arrows in the gel.
VLP Electron Microscopy
We then wondered if the VLPs were forming in spherical structures as we expected, and if the structure endured the purification process. To verify this question, a transmission electron microscopy was carried out (TEM) to image the entire VLP.
Fig 6: Negatively stained transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaged with 80kV at 15k magnification for the VLP concentrated in PBS. Spherical VLPs have been identified in the sample (with red arrows) of approximately 50nm in diameter. Regions are zoomed out on the left side of the image where the bar corresponds to 50nm.
Hydrophobic Body Staining by BODIPY
With solid evidence of VLP formation, we then investigated if the rubber particle was present inside the VLP. This investigation was carried out via BODIPY staining. This stain binds specifically to intracellular aliphatic compounds and has been thus used to stain lipid bodies and rubber particles in vivo [7][8]. When staining, we compared the staining result of E. coli cells expressing this part with the wild-type stains (empty backbone pET28a), as well as non-induced strains.
Fig 7: BODIPY staining of BL21 transformed with pET28a (pET) and this composite part (VLP), cells were induced with 0mM (-) and 1mM IPTG (+) for 16hrs at 25oC, respectively. Each group was carried out with five repeats where the fluorescence of the cells was measured with excitation at 485nm and emission at 520nm (green) to quantify the BODIPY inside the cell. pET28a transformants served as a global control.
Rubber Production

Lower image: comparision of A210 reading of E. coli expressing this part with negative control (pET28a strain), and a known postive control which 10ug of polyisoprene is added to the negative control.

How to Use This Part
Unused parts are not good parts. - Edward Jixiao Wu
In summary, we have reported the design of a composite part which is capable of producing a virus-like-particle and can be used to hold natural rubber. However, this VLP could be further used as a platform technology for other applications not limited to bioproduction and drug delivery. This organelle should be able to encapsulate any soluble protein. Here we thus provide with a detailed description of how to use this part and for future teams to modify protein domains at will.
Fig.10 Step 1 is to learn the function of this part
- The his-tag can be replaced with any small purification tags
- Rubber synthase enzyme domains can be replaced - remember the scaffold peptide should be kept to import the cargo to the VLP.
Fig.11 Clone your parts in! We encourages using Gibson Assembly though the part also works with BioBricks and Goldengate (Bsa1, Aar1) enzymes.

The sequence in brown (html:#800000) is the anti-rRNA region where provides anchorage of the RBS to the mRNA. Flanking sequence are designed according to the rest of the mRNA to reduce unwanted mRNA structures.
The second RBS sequence
ATCCA ATTCT AAACA CATAA GGAGG TAATA T
The sequence in brown (html:#800000) is the anti-rRNA region where provides anchorage of the RBS to the mRNA. Flanking sequence are designed according to the rest of the mRNA to reduce unwanted mRNA structures.
