Introduction

pT7-CBDcipA-sfGFP
Figure Y. Mechanism of action

This part consists of a cellulose binding domain (CBD) from Clostridium thermocellum cellulose scaffolding protein (CipA) with an sfGFP fused, using a flexible GS-linker (-GGGGSGGGGS-), to the CBDCipA. A thrombin cleavage site (-LVPRGS-) is added to the end of the linker and its breakage will leave a glycine and serine amino acid attached to the N-terminal of the AsPink fusion protein.

An internal BamHI recognition sequence (RS) has been added to enable changeable fusion proteins. BamHI was chosen because its RS codes for glycine and serine, fitting it to the end of the thrombin site. It is also cost-effective enzyme and is unaffected by methylated DNA.

This part can be used to track purification, measure CBD binding ability and report breakage of the thrombinsite.

This part uses an expression system with a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005) as well as a 5'-UTR (BBa_K1758100) region which has been shown to further increase expression in E. coli (BBa_K1758106), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2676996 Olins et al. 1989]), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23927491 Takahashi et al. 2013]).

Expression system

The part has a very strong expression with a T7 promotor (BBa_I719005) as well as a 5'-UTR (BBa_K1758100) region which has been shown to further increase expression in E. coli (BBa_K1758106), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2676996 Olins et al. 1989]), ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23927491 Takahashi et al. 2013]). Both this part and the part were sfGFP was changed for AsPink (BBa_K3182000) showed great expression.

Figure B. Benchling screenshot of the expression system. This expression system leads to a high expression and therefore protein yield.

The induced culture were then incubated in 16 degrees Celsius for 16 hours. Picture 3: Left: CBDcipA-sfGFP bound to bacterial cellulose in form of a thin film, right: bacterial cellulose reference.

Measurement of CBD binding ability

Tracking of purification

Figure Y.

Reporter of successful cleavage and release from the cellulose binding domain

Figure Y. A kinetic experiment of thrombins protease activity. Bacterial cellulose, with CBD-sfGFP attached, were analyzed spectrophotometrically. The cellulose-CBD-sfGFP were attached to the side of wells of a 96-well plate and 200 uL 1X thrombin cleavage buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, 150 mM NaCl and 2.5 mM CaCl2) were added. To the wells with cellulose-CBD-sfGFP and buffer, 0.03 units of human thrombin were added and fluorescence (ex. 485 nm, em. 510 nm) were measured from the bottom and up (center of the well) for 16 hours. In blue successful release of sfGFP from the CBD can be seen. In red the control experiment can be seen, where no thrombin was added.
Figure X. The cellulose bandage (Epiprotect) has been washed in bacterial lysate of the biobrick according to the illustration on the left. This was performed in an Eppendorf tube for 15 min on an end-to-end rotator. After binding the CBD-sfGFP, the bandage was washed three time with 70 % ethanol. The bandage was afterwards incubated over night in thrombin cleavage buffer (left) and in thrombin cleavage buffer+thrombin (right).
