Usage

Janus is a kind of amphipathic protein which could self-assembly spontaneously. Due to its special properties, we could make many new applications. We use them as substrate to fix antibodies on a high-flux tumor detection chip. Meanwhile, they are used to catch cutinases for plastic degradation. We even make them into a fusion to test if the enhancement could be better. And we use its amphipathicity to achieve protein separation, where they act as a special purification tag, and the system could be as simple as polymer, detergent and water.

Biology

Janus could be produced by filamentous fungi, such as Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes, and their scientific name is hydrophobin. Many different aspects of fungal development have been attributed to Janus. For example, they are thought to play a role in the formation of aerial hyphae and fruiting bodies. One of the most important features of Janus is that they are able to assemble spontaneously into amphipathic monolayers at hydrophobic–hydrophilic interfaces.

There are two classes of Janus, which are divided by the stability of their self-assembly. sJanus from Trichoderma reesei belongs to Class II. The assemblies of class II Janus can be dissolved in ethanol or sodium dodecyl sulfate or through the application of pressure or lowering of the temperature. We did some mutations to it, and we call it sJanus-m.

Protein Expression

Pre-expression:
The bacteria were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with kanamycin in 37℃ overnight. After taking samples, we transfer them into 1L LB medium with kanamycin.

Cultured in bottles:
After 4 hours culturing in 37℃ in bottles, we used 500μM IPTG induced in 16℃ for 8-12h. We used McAc 0 and 20 to wash off the bulk proteins, and used McAc 200 to wash off aimed proteins.

We finally can use McAc 0 and 20 to wash off the bulk proteins and use McAc 200 to wash off aimed proteins.
The concentration of IPTG, temperature and time we used in sJanus-m’s expression are same to those of inJanus-m, except that we used TB liquid culture medium rather than LB to raise bacteria to get more proteins.

Summary:Hydrophobins are small surface-active proteins, and have both fungal and bacterial origins. Hydrophobins originated from fungi are divided in to two class, and are being widely used and applied. HFBI[1] is hydrophobin derived from fungi and HFBI is a class II hydrophobin. Hydrophobin’ s hydrophobic part is exposed on the surface forming a planar area called the hydrophobic patch, making the surface of the protein contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic area therefore making the surface making the hydrophobins amphiphilic. Because the hydrophobins’ amphiphilicity property it can self-assemble themselves with others. In 2015, the team Tianjin mutated this hydrophobin, and the resulting mHFBI (sJanus-m,BBa_K1582003) can be expressed in bacteria.

Recently, a research published on Nature came up with a mutant enzyme, mLCC[2]that hydrolyzes 90% of PET in plastic bottles in just 10 hours. This is more efficient than any previous PET hydrolase, and more importantly, the resulting monomers- ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid have the same properties as the monomers found in petrochemical materials.

We construct the fusion protein which was made to enhance the efficiency of adsorption, since the surface of PET film is hydrophobic and the surface of mLCC is hydrophilic. By constructing the mLCC-linker-mHFBI:BBa_K3759022 fusion protein, the PET degradation efficiency will be enhanced due to the unique properties of amphiphilicity and self-assembly of hydrophobins.

Pre-expression:

The BL21 bacteria that contains aimed protein were cultured in 5mL LB liquid medium with kanamycin in 37℃ overnight. After taking samples, we transfer them into 1L LB medium with kanamycin.

Cultured in bottles:

After culturing in 37℃ in bottles, we used 0.5mM IPTG induced in 16℃ for 24 hours. Then, we used 200mM imidazole to eluting and get left 1st, 3rd, 7nd aimed protein, and we used 300mM imidazole to eluting the left 4th, 8th aimed protein.
