oprF-GS-FLAG-LBT8-GS-LBT8-GS-LBT8

The report part of our circuit. Oprf can be expressed as an anchor on the cell membrane to make sure the LBT can combine with terbium (Tb3 +) on the surface of the bacteria.

Usage and biology

LBT（lanthanide binding tag） is a kind of protein which can bind with the lanthanide ions.With the help of oprF,our bacteria could express the LBT on its cell membrane and bind the lanthanide ions in the water.So once we put our bacteria into the water,the lanthanide ions in the water would be bound with the bacteria and the concentration of the lanthanide ions in the water would decrease. In this way,no matter how large the water body is,we can put our bacteria in the water and let the bacteria bind the targeted ions in the polluted water.We can even link three specific LBTs for different water bodies.And as the pollution of lanthanide ions is serious,we think that the using of our production would be popular.


Characterization

This is a part for recycling.LBT8 can bind the lanthanide ions and it can be expressed at the cell membrane of E.coli with the help of oprF.We set the 'FLAG' between oprF and LBT for fluorescence detection.In our experiment,we let the LBT8 be expressed successfully which means that the lanthanide ions in the water would be bound and recycled effectively after we put the bacteria in the water.

SDS-PAGE

After oprF-LBT8 is expressed successfully,we centrifuged the bacteria liquid and separated different proteins by SDS-PAGE.

Figure1-3:Protein Electrophoresis of OprF-3*LBT.OprF-3*LBT protein is about 31kDa.

Figure shows an obvious ~31kDa protein bands of oprF-3*LBT8 in test lane, which cannot be found in control lane.This result proves that the bacteria could express OprF-LBT8 successfully.

Fluorescence Detection

After the induction by IPTG,we use DYKDDDDK Tag (9A3) Mouse mAb (Binds to same epitope as Sigma's Anti-FLAG M2 Antibody) as the primary antibody and the Anti-mouse IgG (H+L), F(ab')2 Fragment (Alexa Fluor 488 Conjugate) as the second antibody.

Figure1-4:Fluorescence detection of oprF-3*LBT at 488nm,oprF-LBT could excitate a bright fluorescence

Under fluorescence microscope,oprF-LBT8 excitated a bright fluorescence at 488nm.

Improvement

As we didn’t have enough time,we couldn’t let all the 12 LBT be expressed successfully(LBT2/5/9 are failed).After competition of this year,HUST-China will get these 3 LBTs to be expressed and improve the efficiency of expression.If we make it,we will link different LBTs together and they will be different in the ability of binding the lanthanide ions so that we can link suitable LBTs for each water body.
