Introduction
This composite part is meant to express csgA-linker-mfp5-linker-mfp3 fusion genes under T7 promoter, and 7XHis-tag was fused on the C terminal to achieve affinity protein purification. It is a updated version from T7 promoter+csgA-linker-mfp5-His (BBa_K1583021) and T7 promoter+csgA-linker-mfp5-mfp5-His (BBa_K1583023). Linking mfp5-mfp3 together to provide better adhesion mimics the natural distribution of Mfp5 and Mfp3 proteins in Mussel feet (Figure 1), which may give better performance in making underwater bioadhesives then mfp5 alone and mfp5-mfp5. CsgA is an amyloid-like protein encoded on genome of E.coli MG1655 providing mechanical cohesive strength. Mfp5 and Mfp3 are mussel foot proteins from Mytilus galloprovincialis responsible for interface adhesion.
This recombinant protein replaces original fibre-forming protein, Mfp1 the composite part T7 promoter+fp1-linker-mfp5-linker-fp1-His (BBa_K1583024) from mussel foot cell with CsgA, a more commonly used and researched fibre protein in E.coli. This bio mimic design would also self-assemble into fibrous bundles or films with adhesive properties by displaying the mussel adhesion domains on the surface of amyloid scaffolds, which would be a promising new generation of bio-inspired adhesives for a wide range of applications.
Characterization
Three different experiments were done to characterise the BBa_K3089022 biobrick:
- protein expression
- protein purification
Protein expression
csgA-linker-mfp5-linker-mfp3 was cloned into pET28b and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3) Rosetta by 500μM IPTG for 5h at 37℃. In order to detect its expression, whole cells were collected after induction by centrifuging and prepared for SDS-PAGE. Results showed that no obvious protein bands of CsgA-mfp5-mfp3(~30 kDa) could be observed on lane WC compared with lane pET28b (pET28b empty vector), which means the expression of this protein is not well in BL21(DE3) Rosetta.
Protein purification
For we make producing underwater bio-adhesives as the final goal of our project, though no obvious protein bonds of interest could be observed, we straightly went on protein purification.
CsgA is an amyloid-like protein characterized by β-strands and CsgA monomers would form aggregates after expression inside cells. Therefore, denature protein purification methods were used. Weak bands presented on the lane E1.The mixed solutions were then loaded on the columns and dialyzed with PBS buffer (PH=6.0) to wash away imidazole, meanwhile, protein was concentrated.
After that concentrated protein was put under 4℃ for 72 hours to make it renature. Protein concentrations of CsgA-linker-mfp5-linker-mfp3 were measured by BCA assay and its yield is 0.7mg/L.
