Usage

Aqueous two-phase separation (ATPS) is a liquid-liquid fractionation technique effectively used for protein separation and purification[1]. When a protein fuses with a hydrophobin, the hydrophobin changes the hydrophobicity of the protein, which causes the protein to aggregate into the surfactants.

Our team is trying to improve traditional ATPS by incorporating a continuous-flow system and replacing fungal hydrophobins with BslA. Using EBFP[2] as target protein can visually observe fluorescent protein (EBFP,target protein) showing blue fluorescence in the process of protein expression and two-phase extraction, so as to determine the separation and purification effect.

In the process of protein purification by ATPs, we can use the amphiphilicity of BslA to change the hydrophilicity of fluorescent protein, so that fluorescent protein can only show fluorescence in the organic phase/aqueous phase, so as to achieve a high-efficiency and low-cost protein purification method.

Biology

Blue fluorescent protein (BFP)[3] was mutant of GFP which originally identified from the jellyfish (Aequorea victoria).

Design Consideration

The construct was cloned into a PET28a plasmid and transformed into BL21 (DE3) E. coli.

The construction includes:

EBFP is fused with BslA with a TEVlinker（GAAAACCTGTACTTCCAGGGTTCTGGT）
