Effect of the SP20 module on the secretion efficiency of MHETase. (a) Level 2 MoClo constructs harboring the aadA selection marker, and the coding sequences for MUT-PETase and MHETase equipped with the secretion signals introduced in Figure 6 and a C-terminal SP20 tag for enhancing glycosylation. See Figure 1 for the description of other parts. (b) UVM4 transformants containing the constructs shown in (a) were grown in TAP medium for seven days. Cells were centrifuged and the supernatant lyophilized, resuspended in 2xSDS buffer and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with an anti-HA antibody. Transformants C12 and A27 introduced in Figures 4 and 5, respectively, served as positive controls. The black arrow points to MHETase, the white arrow to MUT-PETase.

The Mut-PETase in combination with the secretion signal GLE and the SP20-tag showed secretion by C.reinhardtii. In constructs without the SP20-tag no secretion of the MUT-PETase was detectable. This applies for the MUT-PETase in combination with the MHETase. In comparison to the other two secretion signals in combination with the sp20 tag, the construct with GLE shows a higher yield of secreted proteins.

The SP20 module increases the efficiency of protein secretion. (a) Level 2 MoClo constructs harboring the aadA selection marker, and the coding sequences for MUT-PETase and MHETase equipped with the secretion signals introduced in Figure 6. The constructs contain the coding sequence for a conventional 3xHA tag (C, K, L), or the 3xHA tag preceded by a SP20 tag to enhance glycosylation (M, N, O). See Figure 1 for the description of other parts. (b) UVM4 transformants containing the constructs C, K, L and M, N, O were grown in TAP medium for seven days. Cells were centrifuged and the supernatant lyophilized, resuspended in 2xSDS buffer and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting with an anti-HA antibody. Transformant A27 introduced in Figures 4, served as positive control. The black arrow points to MHETase, the white arrow to MUT-PETase and the grey arrow to RPL1 (chloroplast ribosomal 50S protein L1). The RPL1 antibody was used to detect contamination from intracellular proteins.

Activity measurement of MHETase and MUT-PETase from Chlamydomonas against BHET by reversed-phase HPLC. Transformant M5 and parent strain UVM4 were inoculated in HMP medium for seven days. M5 contains construct L2M encoding MUT-PETase and MHETase tagged with the SP20-module and secretion signal cCA (Figure 8). The cultures were centrifuged, and the supernatants concentrated 20-fold with ultracentrifuge filters and rebuffered in glycine buffer. (a) A standard of 1 mM TPA, MHET, and BHET dissolved in DMSO was measured by HPLC. (b) The 20-fold concentrated medium of M5 was incubated with BHET at 30°C for 48 h and measured by HPLC. (c) The 20-fold concentrated medium of parent strain UVM4 was incubated with BHET and measured by HPLC. (d) The glycine buffer was measured with HPLC. (e) Peak areas of the shown measurements in mAu*s.
