It has been well known that the surface of PET film is hydrophobic, and the surface of mLCC is hydrophilic. By constructing the mLCC-linker-BsLA fusion protein, the PET degradation efficiency will be enhanced enormously, due to the unique properties of amphiphilicity and self-assembly of hydrophobin BslA. Also, as BslA was extracted from bacteria and was a bacterial hydrophobin, it shows a better fusion with mLCC, which help the increment of the PET degradation efficiency of mLCC-linker-BslA.

Usage

It has been well known that the surface of PET film is hydrophobic, and the surface of mLCC is hydrophilic. By constructing the mLCC-linker-BsLA fusion protein, the PET degradation efficiency will be enhanced enormously, due to the unique properties of amphiphilicity and self-assembly of hydrophobin BslA. Also, as BslA was extracted from bacteria and was a bacterial hydrophobin, it shows a better fusion with mLCC, which help the increment of the PET degradation efficiency of mLCC-linker-BslA.

Biology

LCC is a leaf-branch compost cutinase[1] and a kinetically robust protein[2]. A research published on Nature came up with a mutant enzyme, mLCC[1] 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.

The linker is GGGGSGGGGS.

BslA is a structurally defined bacterial hydrophobin that was found in the biofilm of Bacillus subtilis. It helps the assembling of TasA (an exopolysaccharide and an amyloid fiber-forming protein), the component of the biofilm matrix. BslA is composed of an Ig-type fold with the addition of an unusual, extremely hydrophobic “cap” region. The central hydrophobic residues of the cap are essential to allow a hydrophobic, nonwetting biofilm to form as they control the surface activity of the BslA protein. [3]

Design Consideration

The construct was cloned into a pET28a plasmid and transformed into BL21 (DE3) E. coli.

The construction includes:

1. a 6× His tag is added to enable us carrying out Ni-NTA protein purification.

Protein Purification

Because the pET28a vector has His-tag, therefore we used affinity chromatography to purify the supernatant obtained after bacteria clastogenesis using nickel. The result of our proteogels after elution with 200 mm imidazole and 300 mm imidazole is shown below. We successfully purified mLCC and mLCC-linker-BslA. At the same time, we can also see that the two proteins, mLCC-mHGFI, mLCC-mHFBI, are expressed, but the protein expression level is very low.

PET Degradation Reaction

We perform PET degradation reaction to detect enzyme activity. We set several protein concentration to detect enzyme activity, under the condition of pH8, 70℃, and 18h of reaction time. Then we measured the absorption value at uv240nm by nanodrop, which is the absorption position of the product TPA, and we were surprised to find that the relative enzyme activity of mLCC-linker-BslA was increased about 3 times compared to mLCC!
