Introduction

Sirius (BBa_K2668020) is a fusion protein between CBM3a and mRFP1. By fusing CBM3a to a fluorescent moiety, this part allowed us to investigate the binding capability of CBM3a platform to cellulose.

Construction

The Sirius part (BBa_K2668020) correspond to a CBM3a and mRFP1 sequences fused by an endogenous C terminal linker. IDT performed the DNA synthesis and delivered the part as gBlock. The construct was cloned by infusion into the pSB1C3 plasmid and then transformed into E. coli Dh5-alpha strain. Figure 1 shows the restriction map of the resulting clones.

Characterisation

1. Production of Sirius

The part BBa_K2668020 was cloned into the pET28 expression vector using In-Fusion Cloning Kit. The resulting construct was transformed into E. coli strain BL21 and expression of the recombinant protein was induced using IPTG. The His-tagged protein was then purified on IMAC resin charged with cobalt. Results are shown on figure 2. A large amount of protein at the expected size for Sirius (52 kDa, lane CFE) was found predominant in elution samples (E1/40 and E1/100). The degree of purity of full length Sirius was about 72%. In addition to the full length protein, several extra bands that likely correspond to proteolysis products were observed.
