NisQ with a N-terminus 6x His-tag (NisQ-His)
Usage and Biology
Derived from Lactococcus lactis, nisin is a food-safe, antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that targets a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria by binding to lipid II on the pathogens membrane, creating a pore, and causing cell death [1]. Literature suggests that nisin Q (NisQ) demonstrates greater antimicrobial and antioxidant activity against pathogens compared to other variants of nisin, such as NisA (BBa_K1365000) [2]. Nisin’s optimal pH stability is between 2 and 7 but can maintain its antibacterial activity up to a pH of 12, and can also retain its antimicrobial activity at temperatures of 120oC [2]. Unlike other AMPs, nisin is non-toxic to Gram-negative bacteria, meaning that successful recombinant expression in E. coli can be achieved without an inhibitory protein.
Design
Nisin GB1 (BBa_K4437001) includes, a T7 promoter, a lac operon, RBS, TEV protease site, 6XHis-tag, two enterokinase cut sites, nisQ, and T7 terminator. The two enterokinase sites serves to make sure the 6XHis-tag is cleaved off and surely leaves us with nisQ. The lac operon functions to be able to use different protein induction media such as autoinduction medias when expression protein. The presence of the lac operon will allow the bacteria to switch from a glucose sugar source to a lactose sugar source. The rest if the elements are regulatory elements necessary to express our protein.
Characterization
We were able to insert our Nisin GB1 (BBa_K4437001) into a pSB1A3 plasmid. Once it was PCR amplified, it was run on a gel in which its indicated band size 331 was seen.
