SPYCatcher -> sfGFP -> LCI KR-2

Usage and Biology

LCI is a protein from Bacillus subtili. The paper shows that it can bind to polypropylene(PP)[1]. The paper shows the improved variant, LCI-KR2(Y29R and G35R; variant KR-2)[2]. Its affinity is 5.4±0.5 times stronger than natural LCI.

We used LCI-KR2 for binding protein to PP. We inserted superfolder GFP (sfGFP) whose folding interval is shortened by improving natural GFP on the N-terminus of LCI (BBa_I746916). By doing so we wanted to do the binding assay with fluorescence. Moreover, we put SpyCatcher on N-terminus of sfGFP because we used SpyTag/SpyCatcher system to bind it to other parts.

This part has four tags. First is 6×His-tag inserted on the N-terminus of SpyC for protein purification. Second is MYC-tag inserted between sfGFP and Spy-Catcher to detect it by using the antibody. The third is a TEV protease site and we put it into two regions because it was used for protein purification in the paper[3].

We inserted it into the site between the BamHI site on the pGEX11-a and Ndel site. We used BL21 (DE3) for gene expression. We used Ni-NTA Agarose for purification. After that, we confirmed the molecular weight of LCI by using SDS-PAGE. The result is shown below.

Purification

Expression

Cells were grown in 200ml LB media (100μg/ml Ampicillin) at 37^oC shaking at 140 rpm to an OD600 of 0.5, verifying via a spectrophotometer.

Protein was expressed in 0.1mM IPTG for 2hours.
